Then, after reading the article “Delusions of Grandeur”, identify your own research question. Please come up with a research question for this Research Proposal. Example: How can America best ensure prosperity for people of all backgrounds? You do not have to use this question, as this is the one the professor put as an example. Please come up with your own original research question.
Then, create An initial Argumentative Thesis Statement to be used in the major paper.
This should be an answer to your research question. Note, this should only be one sentence.
