02: Start of Research [Intro]

Welcome All, and Welcome Myself,
Today is the day to start on the research for the topic I chose, however you cannot start research without first making an outline. In place of a current event or discussions about communism, this post will be about listing and describing the main points for the presentation.

First off, the topic at hand must be listed in a clear statement, describing what I plan to write about. This sounds a lot like a thesis statement, but in a presentation there is no clear thesis, so I will not bind myself to any one sentence. Instead, I plan to wrap the entire assignment around being persuasive and factual with all of my information.

"Attending college creates the very thing we as a democratic nation try to abolish, communism."

As the above sentence states, My topic is about the purpose of college and how it creates communism instead of working towards our choices.

1) Basics of Communism vs Democracy

• Since you cannot start talking about a controversial topic if not all of the readers know what it is, I plan to cover the basics of the long debated war over communism and why our nation despises it as a whole.

2) Purpose of College in terms of Communism

• The purpose of this paper, and later presentation, is to be persuasive and "paint a picture" showing the audience your views on the topic. In order to do such a task, I must explain my reasoning in the point of view I want my audience to see. As a result, in this section, I will intentionally talk about College only in ways it supports the communistic living style.

3) Real World jobs and applications affected by Communism in the College system.

• Finally, I plan to discuss briefly about some of the real-world visualizations I have found while researching my topic. 
• I will touch up upon corporate procedures and the way current middle class people are living their lives.

I understand this is going to be a hard topic to research and find information on, but it wouldn't be as interesting if all of the information was given to you. I can see this turning into more of an opinion based paper than a purely factual, but facts are not everything.
