Introduction
Why did you choose this topic and why do you think it is important? (Half a page or a page)
I choose this topic because in these days one of the problems is crime by guns. Also, we have many crimes, and it has been damaged innocent people. It is important because some people killed innocent kids and people for nothing.
My main idea is that at first, I was thinking that control gun should be applied, but now based on the world situation and 21 century’s people that nobody can not trust each other, and specially in big country like United States that different culture and types of people live together in here. Now, in United States people can buy guns illegal that officers can not find those people because the gun’s owner information is not recorded nowhere.
Main Body
The main body of your paper should include your main points of argumentation. The body should have separate paragraphs for your supporting points and ideas. Here you should do an overview of existing literature. A concise overview of various author(s) would be a great start. The paper will be significantly strengthened if the authors you have chosen are reputable in the field and not simply marginal names taken out of the Internet. Ideally, you should present various opposing views of authors. For example: Author X states that A=B, but Author Y disagrees, however, author Z presents an entirely new idea to the field etc.
You may view the question you are discussing in light of various religious, geographical, cultural etc. traditions comparing and analyzing them. You are free to write creatively, however, you should remember that a strong research paper refrains from expressing radical, uncompromising and opinionated positions. You should also refrain from using sexist, racist and hostile ideas.
Please refrain from inserting excessive pictures and large sized charts and diagrams (although you may do so if necessary). I am more interested in your reasoning and writing. You should also avoid inserting large portions of direct quotations. Direct quotations should be highlighted either with Italics or with Bold and in quotation marks. You are not allowed to quote a text from a source without mentioning the author and the source title. Please, use your own words and be yourself. Suspiciously advanced and overly sophisticated wording may necessitate asking you to explain a specific portion in question.
Ideally, you should have 2 footnote references per page. Cutting and pasting material from the Internet is prohibited. Using Internet sources is allowed, of course, but please remember that excessive Internet references (address line, link references instead of an actual book) do not add prestige to the paper.
Conclusion (Half a page to a page)
Finally, in conclusion, you may state your own opinion and that you find author X’s view more reasonable and explain why? Explain why you disagree with the view Y?
The main opinion why I disagree with control gun in these days in big countries like United States should not applied control gun because here is many people with different cultures and types, and we can not trust people that they buy guns legal and record their information if something happened.
