Part I:
Research paper topic and outline
Objective
The goal of this course is to provide you with the concepts and
skills necessary to acquire various sources and to organize this
information to write an original research paper. This assignment
is an extension of the in-class exercise completed in Module 3.

9. In this assignment, the goal is to develop a research topic and
develop a research paper outline. As you develop your research
paper, think about the following questions: why is this topic
important? What is your purpose or thesis statement?
How do you plan to organize these concepts?
Assignment
To find a research topic, start from:
·
Your program of study or courses
·
A topic of great interest to you
·
A current hot topic, trend or new idea in your discipline that
interests you.
You will do several in-class exercises on how to develop a
concept map, a research topic, and a research paper outline. The
in-class exercises will help you complete this assignment. In the
assignment, you need to provide more detailed information and
organize the research paper outline systematically with source
information.
The research paper outline reflects the investigation of your
research topic. In each heading and subheading of the outline,
you need to cite your sources.

Citation and References
You need to cite your sources. Use the
APA citation style for the in-text citation:
·
If there is an author(s)’ name, use this format (Author’s Last

Part I:
Military Funding: Agenda of Presidential Candidates
Gary Carter
IT 150, 13977; W 7:10; Moriarty; 9/28/16
.
Motivation of this research:
1)
According to Council on Foreign Relations (2014), some of the
ways that the United States spends a portion of its budget is
through military funding.
a)
There are several ways the military divides its funding provided
from the government….
i)
Retire military pay
ii)

19. Reserve and National guard pay
iii)
Civilian pay
iv)
Active duty military pay.
b)
Thesis: Due to the upcoming election year I wish to cover both
electoral candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s agenda
on military funding and how it will impact the tax payers.
2)
Donald Trump’s Plan
3)
From my understanding I believe Trump’s plan is more “gun-
hoe”. However some reasons one may believe this is…
i)
As stated by (Reuters, 2016) Trump wishes to increase Army
manning by sixty thousand from its current 480 thousand.
ii)
Trump also pledges to provide thirteen additional battalions to
the Marine Corps current twenty six, which means recruiting an
additional ten thousand marines.

20. iii)
In addition to trumps increase in manning he also hopes to add
one hundred tactical Aircraft to the Air Force and boost the
Navy’s fleet of ships from two hundred and seventy thousand to
three hundred and fifty thousand.
4)
Hillary Clinton’s Plan
a)
One could believe that Clintons plan for military funding is in
direct opposition to trumps. Her plan according to her website is
more of an aggressive defense.
b)
Which means…
i)
She wishes to take battles to cyberspace which entails hacking.
(1)
Ex. Stopping any enemy Aircraft from leaving there shores.

21. ii)
I believe this is the best way to conduct warfare because it can
prevent millions of lives from being lost along with “being a
good steward of tax payer’s money “stated by Clinton.
5)
Impact of plans/conclusion
a)
Salary of an active duty enlisted member
i)
According to
Locsin (2016)
“The average active duty soldier receives ninety-nine thousand
dollars per year that includes pay and benefits”.
(1)
This means that if Trump wins the upcoming election he would
be increasing the national deficit roughly by 6.9 billion dollars
just in recruiting alone.
ii)
Quoted by Axle Geeks (2016), the F22 raptor one of the most
tactical aircraft in this day and age cost one hundred and fifty
million dollars per air craft.
iii)
Face the facts (2015) deemed that it would take 26.8 billion

22. dollars to build one air craft carrier.
iv)
So in a grand total Donald Trump’s military plan would cost the
tax payers a 4.87 trillion dollars.
v)
As a result, I feel that financially this country cannot handle
Donald Trump’s plan for military spending. I believe that
Hillary Clintons plan for cyberwar fair in the long run
(Locsin, 2016)
may be more economical.
