Select_a_Topic_for_Your_Final_Paper

Sandy Zavala For my final project, I decided to do an essay on choice number five, “ In the United States we do not need to plan for retirement. Social Security will cover our needs for retirement. I chose this topic for a couple of reasons. The first was because I am getting closer to retirement and I really would like to know as much as possible on this subject. The second reason was because last semester I was taking a class in Personal Finance and this topic was brought up and some interesting points were brought. I feel that by doing research on the paper I will get some of the answers I am looking for.  My point of view is that you should never rely on Social Security to take care of you when you can no longer work. I think that people should have some other source for their retirement as a backup plan. I also believe that there may be no Social Security in the future. This is what I hope to argue in my paper. I plan on arguing this by using several different, credible sources. This is a popular topic in today’s news so I think I will be able to find many reliable sources. In order for the reader to be persuaded I need to organize my paper well. These are some of the things that I will do to accomplish my goal. The introduction should be catchy enough to capture the reader’s attention from the start. To do this I will start with some surprising facts or ask a startling question. The introduction should also provide background information regarding the topic. At the end of the paragraph I will restate my point of view on the topic. The next paragraphs will present points supporting my main idea. Each important point should have its own paragraph. Within these paragraphs, I will supply enough proof to support each point. To make my point more credible, I will refrain from using the phrases “I think”, “I feel”, or “In my opinion.” I will also refrain from using personal experiences or examples. The conclusion of my essay should be as important as the introduction. In the conclusion, I will restate my main idea along with my supporting points. It will also show my audience why they should be persuaded by my point of view.
