Here is my example for the application paper

For instance, say I wanted to talk about self disclosure and my marriage. I would first describe what kind of relationship my husband and I have: communication styles, conflict management, and perhaps parenting styles as some background info that is relevant to self- disclosure. Next, I would talk about self disclosure. I would maybe cite the textual definition and then in my own words, describe how I interpret or use self disclosure. Maybe I would say that self- disclosure is a way of talking about all kinds of information in my relationship. I self disclose my feelings, thoughts, insecurities etc. Lastly, I may give an overall idea of how self disclosure works in my relationship. Maybe I would talk about how it is received by my husband, how he reciprocates, and/or when I feel vulnerable or confident in my self disclosure. Or I may pick a specific incident and describe how I used self disclosure in a particular interaction with my husband.
