Conference Notes

The first pages of my research paper attempted to introduce my thesis topic. The biggest mistake I made was not treating my topic as a controversial debate between my hunch is and what other scholars are saying about the assumption, "education is something that promotes the common good." Dr. Archibald gave me helpful advice on the controversy I should be looking for in my research. This includes finding examples of people who hold an occupation not within the norm (entertainer, artist, comedian, etc.) and challenging the idea that they do not give back to the community. What I plan to do now is find sources that not only support my thesis, but attempt to contradict my thesis.
