Hw #33 (Outline)

Main idea of thesis(will be worded differently and maybe slightly changed): The human need for derives from personal needs for connection with other human beings, options society gives us, our surroundings, and a need for sense of importance and meaningful direction.

Argument 1: People naturally need to connect with others and interact. We constantly find our selves trying to connect with others in conscious and sub-conscious ways. We try extremely hard to seem important to others and gain the respect of others. We are willing to go to extreme lengths to feel as if we are liked and wanted by others.

ARGUMENT 2: Our need to please other really helps us feel as if our life is meaningful and as if we are doing what we are doing for a reason. This plays in to the idea of living for a reason and have a meaning or direction we base our life around.

ARGUMENT 3: We have these needs that connect our selves and others and we need a way to go about fulfilling these needs and society provides different roles and so called maps that show us socially acceptable ways to go about doing so.

ARGUMENT 4: This connects to paragraph 3. Our societal roles and maps are decided by our surroundings including: family situation, the neighborhood you live in, the friends you have, the places you go, etc.

More paragraphs may come from these ideas but these are the main ideas I want to explore. Argument 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 tie together I want to try to find a way to tie these together with out having too many paragraphs and with out having extremely long paragraphs as was one of the issues with my last essay in this class.
