M4A1: Final Paper Outline and Thesis Statement

38657This is a continuation of Order# 38421and this is what the Professor said about it: “Great topic and well-presented, but proofread closely to catch grammar errors. I’m also a little worried that the topic is too broad – consider narrowing to a particular sector or threat actor as a case study to better fit the final paper.” Im confident in your abilities. Let me know if you need any additional information

When you have completed this activity, you will be able to:

Develop an outline and thesis statement for the final research paper (CO#1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
You have decided on a final project topic, researched this topic, and submitted an annotated bibliography. Now, the next step is to organize your research, themes, and ideas into an outline that will allow you to construct a final paper. The paper outline will assist you in organizing your evidence and claims around your thesis statement.

Please follow the guidelines provided for creating a good outline and refer to the information for resources on how to organize and write a paper of this length. The better your outline, the easier it will be to write the paper. As you create your outline, remember that your final project should tie together the ideas and observations you made throughout the course. For your final project, you will write a paper that examines the topic that you chose in Module 1, applying concepts and theories explored in this course.

Here are the guidelines:

1.Include an introduction statement.
– This is a preview of the paper, along with the thesis statement.
– Example of Thesis: Hybrid cars contribute to reducing global warming.
2. Make claims that emerge from this thesis statement.
– Example: Claim 1. Hybrid cars use less gas.
– Claim 2. Using less gas creates fewer carbon emissions.
– Claim 3. Fewer carbon emissions helps reduce the rate of global warming.
3. Add your evidence collected to the claims you have identified.
– Example: Hybrid cars use less gas.
– Evidence: Hybrid cars use xxx amount of gas as compared to non-Hybrid cars, according to the consumer index (this evidence is imaginary, for the sake of an example).
4. Include a conclusion statement.
– This is a summary, along with a call to action or impactful statement.
5. This outline should be 2-3 pages.
6. You can use phrases and complete sentences in the outline.
7. Include indicators of where you found the evidence.
8. Use 12 point font in a Word document (can also use Open Office).
9. Reference the grading rubric to ensure all areas are fulfilled.

Also, it is important to cite your sources properly when you are writing a research paper and using someone else’s ideas. By citing sources, you will avoid plagiarism and give credit to the originator of an idea.

Ensure your response paper is free of grammatical errors. Use APA style for all writing assignments. Please visit the Online Writing Lab website for more information on this.

In your outline and thesis statement, be sure to reflect:

– the instruments of power as they relate to your topic and how they can be or are leveraged for strategic advantage;
– the way in which your topic affects how national security strategy and policies are created, evaluated, and revised (U.S.as well as other nations);
– ethical issues surrounding your topic;
– the 21st Century global security structure and America’s strategic posture in this environment relevant to your topic and context.

Construct your argument using appropriate interdisciplinary topics in national security relating to your topic (e.g. history, political science, psychology, economics, military leadership, cybersecurity, intelligence, international relations, etc.)
