ENG 1252 OUTLINE

 

Assignment instructions:

You will need to have a detailed plan for your researched argument (4-5 pages) essay. Within this outline, you need to provide your introduction and thesis, and provide a summary of what you envision each point you will make to be.  

In one document, complete these two parts of the assignment:

A. Create what will become the opening of your paper.

• Begin with your name, the name of the course, the name of the instructor, and the due date in the upper left-hand corner of your paper.
• Center a title before your first paragraph. Short titles for research papers are usually a bad sign that you don’t have a defined and focused topic. Be specific in your title and use enough detail so that the title really tells the reader what the research paper is about. Make it a title about the thesis.
• Write an intro. paragraph with an underlined thesis. 

B. Following the introductory paragraph, create an outline of the main points of the rest of your paper after the introduction. Each of these must be a complete sentence, not just phrases. You should have at least four main points for your final essay. These main points will become your topic sentences in your research paper. The main points you write should be clear sentences that elaborate on your thesis and reconnect to your thesis statement directly. You should also provide a bulleted list of specific evidence under each of your points.

Remember, all of this is in ONE document–it is the beginning of your paper, and it should all be double spaced with 12 pt. Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri.

A Life of Significance and Worth

Life is a challenge, and most people are determined to overcome the challenges posed to them by experience and live a better life. Better is subjective; there are divergent opinions on what a meaningful life is. However, different people try to live a meaningful life as possible and for the people around them. Regardless of the differing opinions on significant experience, I believe living a life of significance, and worth positively touches many people as possible in different ways. Therefore, living a purposeful life creates a difference, dying with a legacy or positively impacting society.

Living a meaningful life can better be defined by people around an individual or those who can see the different levels of interaction an individual has with society. Therefore, the community plays a significant role in defining whether an individual lived a significant or a worthy life or not. Ideally, a worthy life is that which makes crucial marks in the lives of people. For instance, in a community where people live, there are different kinds of people. Some can live the lives they desire while others live miserable under conditions they do not wish—those who are less fortunate in society desire and empowerment to live a worthy life. People claiming to live significant lives have a moral duty to empower them to live a better experience. I am not saying that living a decent life is about helping others in need. Still, it leans more towards fruitful interaction with such community members and offering solutions where possible.

The wealth and material aspects of living a meaningful life are essential, but it is not entirely resting. It is necessary to have the material possessions to make a mark in other’s lives. Consequently, it amplifies the process of living a meaningful life and worthy. Material possession is useful, but there is a need to consider the willingness within a person. Many wealthy people have lived miserable lives without significance and worth. Some have died wishing they were never wealthy in the first place. Some are wealthy and curse their lives day in day out. Therefore, it is necessary to balance knowing how to live a meaningful life and material possession. However, the bottom line is wealth is essential, and people should strive to make the best out of life to become wealthy.

Achieving a life of significance and worth is possible for everyone that wishes to leave a positive mark in society. People have different talents, gifts, and natural abilities that they can use to impact humanity. One does not need to move every life in the company. But transforming and changing a single life in a community is worth living. It is all about the willingness and ability to effectively discovering their purpose in life. Self-consciousness and living with compassion can easily be attained by everyone regardless of their level in society. This illustrates that living a worthy and significant experience is all about knowing what is essential and taking an active role in achieving critical goals.

In conclusion, a life of significance and worth can be easily achieved by society. Life is complicated, and living it the best is everyone’s desire. I am positively touching on one life to the other plays a significant role in living a life of purpose. Actively taking part in the societal demands and changes is understanding for living a worthy and life with significance. Therefore, everyone has to play in society towards having an experience of importance and worth living.
