1. What do I already know about my topic/issue? (List everything you can think of.)
My topic is Socialism. I know very little about the subject except that it tends to be very flawed and never seems to work.
2. What will I need to learn more about or research further regarding the topic/issue I have chosen?
The first thing I need to learn about is what socialism represents and its ideals. I also need to research articles and journals pointing out the flaws of socialism. Lastly, I will need to research arguments in favor of socialism so that I can get a balanced view of both sides.
3. The audience for my paper is a group of my peers. What will my audience know or not know about this topic/issue?
I am assuming that my peers will know as much or less than me when it comes to the subject of socialism. I think the safest thing to do is to write my paper as if my peers have no idea what socialism is or what it stands for. So, I will have to explain all this in my paper.

What kind of background information will I need to include in my paper so that my audience understands the topic/issue?
I will need to include at least a page worth of background knowledge on the topic of socialism. It is a big topic that will require a detailed explanation of the theory and its ideals. I want my readers to have a good grasp of what I’m arguing against. Otherwise, my argument wouldn’t make sense.
5. What position am I taking with respect to my topic/issue? What are my reasons for the position that I am arguing?
I am taking the position that socialism is flawed and inefficient.
My Reasons:
• The failure of Obamacare, a socialist project;
• The fall of Venezuela, a socialist country;
• The collapsing of the welfare state, a socialist idea;
• Socialism leads to tyranny and communism through state
