Building a Thesis
1. My issue of the loss of industry and jobs in the State of Ohio is current and reliable. Jobs are still being lost to this day and the phenomenon has been occuring for several years upon decades. To make the information relevant, I can connect with the people of the State of Ohio, as job loss has directly effected them. With accurate research and reliable sources leading to the causes, the thesis and essay can all come together.
2. I live in the State of Ohio and have heard on countless occasions, whether it be family or media of the increase in industries moving out and the rapid job loss. Ohio has a serious problem with this and I know from personal knowledge that Ohio is becoming a run over state. From reading magazine article, newspapers and watching the news of the problem people are facing, I am credible before researching further the issue.
3. There are many misunderstandings in the issue and obviously not all people have felt it is serious, as past politicians have done little to help the growing problem. People have different viewpoints into the causes of industries moving out and with research the issue can be looked at in depth. I know of some personal examples that can help the essay. Research can be found through news organizations and government institutions of the statistics and overall summary.
4. My take on the issue of job loss and loss of industry is something must be done. The State of Ohio will become a burial ground for factories and industries who have moved for economic reasons. Incentives and stimulus packages must be given to corporations in every effort possible, to keep them right here in the base of the industrial midwest. Through what I know, my tentative thesis can be the following: Causes for the job loss and recession in industrialization are numerous, including geographic location and unionization of companies, but the primary cause is actions taken by politicians with acts such as NAFTA and CAFTA.
