IMRaD Introduction
Introduction
Politics is the foundation of all
of the news stations today, it is what every issue is revolved around. There’s
no denying that politics has a major grasp on the world today, but when you think
of politics what comes to mind? Is it one of the many issues that our country
faces today or is it the major division that is crippling this great nation? Politics
are important because it’s what holds this country together and we should all
fight to keep it united and strong. And that’s exactly what this paper and research
is about, resolving the majority divisions so that we don’t become vulnerable,
in the sense of foreign affairs, to other world powers.
Foreign
policy is defined as a government’s strategy in dealing with other nations
(George et al., 2008). The state of America’s foreign policy has not been the
greatest for a while, and that is in direct correlation to the state of America
internally, with countless issues and endless arguments with other opinions, mostly
due to the separation of Republicans and Democrats (Nichols et al., 2018). Foreign
policy shouldn’t be a Democratic vs Republican policy, it should be an American
policy (Sasse et al., 2018). Research shows that there are many differing
opinions on a single topic, but what would it take to come together as a nation
to compromise those different stances and grow as a nation? That is the basis
of the research, to find the most prominent issues facing America today so that
they can get resolved. But how do we resolve them?
In
that question lies a major gap, to determine how to resolve issues so that
America can move forward in being the stronghold for nations without contradicting
the firm beliefs that built this country. To take a look back 100 years to evaluate
the post war policies put in place after WWII is a substantial resolve (Sasse
et al., 2018; Graham et al., 2016). Looking back at the roots can help shape what
the world is today. In the future this research can potentially result in a more
unified America where it sits as one of the most vital and influential powers
of the world.
1. When I read this introduction I saw that this intro is a really good start to your paper. It says "Does it require concrete information on the topic?" and I believe does where it made it easy for me to see what you are going for and what you are doing with this paper.
ReplyDelete2. You used a couple of sources very well but maybe add like another one so readers can get another good idea of what your introduction is about.

One comment I have is in your last paragraph you started off with "In that question..." in my opinion I don't know if you should really start off a sentence like that. It kind of sounds like you need to make it more concise saying "There is a major gap" or something just shorter to condense and make it more clear. But I believe is a really good intro with a few changes.
My first opinion after reading your introduction was that it is a very good introduction that will set up your paper very well, and it was also written very well. To make it even better, I have 3 suggestions. First, you could fix formatting issues. Make sure that you make the introduction title centered. Also, add your name and page number.
ReplyDeleteNext, you could make some sentences more concise. For example, the 4th sentence in the first paragraph is a little long and could be shortened down by taking out some words. Also, the 4th sentence in the second paragraph could be more concise too. Making sentences more concise will be good because it will make it more likely that readers will read all of your introduction and will understand it better.
My last suggestion is to add research questions. This will allow the readers to have a preview of your research and to look forward to something in your paper. I would recommend putting your research questions in the last paragraph.
