1) SUBJECT
I hope my research will sensitize people by showing them how bad is the situation in Darfur because people need to know what is going on there. I would like to write about the life conditions in Darfur, the movement of population and the actions of different organizations because I think those elements are the best to explain the situation. My paper’s title will probably simply be: “The Darfur Crisis”. Finally, as my approach, I will probably choose “examine and analyse”.
2) AUDIENCE
My audience will be university students and Quebec population interested in politics, human catastrophes and genocides.
3) DEFENCE
I think my subject is interesting because it is a current event and not everybody knows what is going on in Darfur and I think it is important to know why people are killing others. Because I already worked on the Rwanda Conflict and because I am really interested in international conflicts, I think it is quite legitimate that I want to work on the Darfur Conflict. I think my subject is worth considering according to the fact that after the Rwanda Conflict, international organizations said that they will never let this kind of war happen again. With my research, I want to see what are the actions of different organizations in order to help the population in Darfur. Even if I already worked on a conflict, I think it is more exciting for me to do my paper on another one because it will expand my knowledge on the subject and I will be able to do a comparison between the two.
4) METHODOLOGY
The first step to follow is to go to the school library because over there I can find various sources such as books, periodicals, electronic resources and videos. Then, I can search on Internet and find a lot of reliable sites. Once I have all my sources, I have to read them and note all useful information I can find on index cards or with my computer. With the summaries on my index cards, I can write my first draft.

Hi Caroline,
Good paper proposal ! I like the way you have divided your subject so that people who don't have a clue of what is really going on in Darfur will be able to understand. Studying in the communications field, I can tell you that your paper will achieve what most reporters would love to do and cannot because on the medias they are using : it will give us in-depth analysis and a real comprehension of the situation.
However, I suggest you work on the title a little bit. Maybe you could be more explicit. My trick : use a colon and a sub-title. Strong defence also ! Good work !
Nice post, i appreciate your efforts which you have done to share information with others.
