Topic: Should China restrain their relationship between North Korea
Background Information: “One nuclear test will not make China’s new administration decide to ‘abandon North Korea’ but it will definitely worsen China-North Korea relations,” Professor Zhu wrote in a recent article in the Straits Times of Singapore.
Thesis statement: China must control their relationship between North Korea for the world wide benefit
Argument 1: China must restrain their partnership with North Korea in order to keep world peace
Supporting idea: North Korea has tested their new technology of nuclear power last Tuesday. North Korea is not afraid of threatening other countries partly because there is a big country China who is protecting them. China should control their relationship so that North Korea will change their minds. Furthermore, China has acted like a blinded in 2009 when North Korea tested their nuclear power. Thus, China must change their attitude.
Argument 2: China must restrain their connection with North Korea for the benefits that can occur to Korea and United States
Supporting Idea: United States and South Korea is putting efforts in the protection of South Korea from North Korea, They can reduce their finance in military services that is used to keep North Korea from attacking. North Korea will no longer test another nuclear weapon when China is partly against their plan. In other words, they cannot no longer fully depend on China. As a result, North and South Korea and also the United States can save their money that goes into military sevices.
Good outline that shows you have thought carefully about this issue. But "saving money" should not be the point of having China use its influence, and when it comes to military activity the money "to be made" is often the long term concern for a select group of people who don't care how much money is wasted (in my opinion).
답글삭제As said in class, you have to find a way to make this essay personal and engaging with your personal connection to the issue - be it your education on this issue, people you have met, or your own predictions for the Korea your future children will grow up in (shouldn't we think about the future more than we currently do?). Think of questions a person might ask you if they met a South Korean for the first time. Be creative.
