In my thesis statement I unintentionally promise to address all three big questions, “What exists,” “what is good,” and “what should we do”. I suggest that Americans should become aware of what is happening, then I’ll provide a good source that Americans need to consider, and then conclude with telling them to take action. In that order each question will be addressed in the body of the OpEd as its own point. This does; however, make me a little nervous that I am covering too broad of a topic to drive a single point home.
What I intend for readers to do upon reading my OpEd is to ultimately take action. After all what good is it to learn something new if you aren’t going to do anything or can’t do anything about it? I want to provide the reader with reasons to keep reading till the end, which is when they will have an idea of what action(s) they need to take.
I assume most people know about North Korea. Ironically more people seem to know about the North and know nothing about South Korea. Nearly Every time I tell someone I’ve been to South Korea a look of fear and dread sweeps over their face. South Korea is a relatively safe place. I’ll probably include a formal statistic showing that it is in fact safer than America in many ways, but that’s not really the point I’m trying to make. Instead I’ll just simply mention North Korea, which is actually a considerably hazardous place for an America, as a good thing in my thesis. Hopefully this will entice a reader to read on, even if it is just to see if I’m crazy.
The first point I will make after the introduction will be that the existence of American culture is in question. I conducted a poll of random students that I intend to incorporate. The results just support that people think American culture is in danger. I’ll use North Korea as an example of why it’s bad to let other people define you. This will as take me into the second point of the article.
North Korea has a wonderful lesson to offer us. I don’t want to spoil the surprise yet, but I’ll give you something in the meantime. Did you know most defectors from North Korea wish they could go back? Since that isn’t really an option some even with that they had never left in the first place. Why? What could possibly be so good about it? That will be my conclusion, telling you, the reader what you should be doing.
