WEEK3

Articulation

1) My argument
Current Korean independent culture does not communicate with the public.
 
2) How I found my argument  
I tried to write a paper with the same argument to apply a competiton (KSCY- Korea Social science Conference for Youth). However, I could not continue my research because I didn't get any support by the competition. They didn't  adopt my research plan. So I choose this argument for this time. I want to find some problems of current Korean culture scene, especially independent culture which I have lots of interest in and know well. Because my father has directed some performances of independent musicians and lables, I've heard many problems. Not only that, I also have experienced many performances and festivals related to indie scene. I want to express what I felt and think through this research and ultimately I want I can contribute to chage the scene in more positive way.

3) New research questions
a) Is G-spot really exsisting in human body?
b) Do schools kill creativity?

In case of a), it is REALLY related to human mind because we can find how mind affects body and body affect mind. However, it is not appropriate for research because i cannot find any reference. They say I HAVE TO be an ADULT.

In case of b), otherwise, it is too famous topic to use. Many preceding researchs are exsisting. So I have nothing to do more.

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler
I will mention 'lack of PR', 'lach of professional work force', 'bias of the public' as problems of current independent culture scene. The first one is related to internet and others are related to human mind.

OUTLINING

1. The introductionI will give some definitions of the words and my own examples. I will use some statistics to compare mainstream culture and indie culture. I can prove indie culture scene is getting hard time to maintain its system.

2. The narration

I will write some theoretical background. Also, I will introduce the beginning of the indie culture and compare the two kinds of culture more specifically.

3. The confirmation
I will suggest three main arguments of my idea. 1) lack of PR and marketing, 2)lack of professional work force 3)bias of the public.To make my essay persuasive and reliable, I'll use statistics and examples as much as I can.

4. The refutation and concession
I will admit that some refutations from the other side would be right. However, I will rebut their idea through showing examples.
5. The conclusion

I will end with summarizing my arguments. And lastly, to make my essay memorable, I will use my own experiences and my father's story.
