Eng 111 - Outline for Research Paper Before we get started with the outline, take a moment to look at the official instructions for your Research Paper. Think of your Research Paper as being divided into four main sections (not paragraphs), each with specific goals to accomplish. Use this broad outline handout to help you organize your ideas and describe how you will accomplish the goals of each section.

Paper For Above instruction

I. Introduction

Your introduction has three tasks:

  1. Introduce the broad topic of your essay.
  2. Provide a brief description of the specific problem you are presenting.
  3. Make a claim about the solution you want to argue for (thesis statement).

Your introduction should be one paragraph.

To introduce the broad topic, consider engaging the audience with relevant facts or questions. For example, noting that many Americans lack awareness about HIV/AIDS and its transmission can pique interest. Additionally, compare this with South Africa’s early sex education, where children are taught about HIV prevention from a young age, highlighting differences in awareness and education.

Identify the specific problem—such as high rates of HIV/AIDS among women and youth in South Africa—and mention the community focus to contextualize the issue.

For the proposed solution, emphasize addressing the root causes (economic, political, cultural) and outline preventive measures, which will serve as your thesis statement: Despite ongoing education efforts, infection rates remain high; this essay explores underlying causes and proposes comprehensive preventive strategies.

II. Body Section 1

In this section, aim to convince your audience that the problem warrants concern. Use research to support your points.

  • Discuss what causes the problem and its historical background, including political, cultural factors, gender-based violence, and sex education policies.
  • Describe who is affected, focusing on women and youth in South Africa.
  • Explain how individuals are impacted—stigma, illness, mortality—and the societal costs, such as economic losses and effects on communities.
  • Address the severity of the issue, emphasizing the health and societal consequences.

Include evidence and cite sources such as credible articles by experts like Muula, examining the socio-economic and legal barriers contributing to HIV prevalence.

III. Body Section 2

Present your solution here, showing how it comprehensively addresses the problem.

  • Describe the proposed solution—multifaceted prevention through economic, political, cultural reforms, and protection-based sex education, including free condom access.
  • Explain how the solution targets causes—reducing stigma, cultural barriers, gender-based violence—and its advantages over simpler approaches like abstinence-only education.
  • Discuss potential disadvantages, such as the need for significant collaboration among stakeholders and high resource investments.
  • Anticipate objections, for example, that providing protection might encourage risky behavior, and present rebuttals based on research showing protection-based sex education’s effectiveness.

IV. Conclusion

In your concluding paragraph, re-emphasize the importance of addressing the socio-economic, political, and cultural factors to reduce HIV rates among women and youth in South Africa.

Appeal emotionally by painting a future where infection rates decline, highlighting the societal benefits of adopting your proposed strategies. Encourage your audience to support and advocate for these comprehensive measures, emphasizing activism and ongoing effort as vital to achieving lasting change.
