Classical Argument Outline

1. The introduction, which warms up the audience, establishes goodwill and rapport with the readers, and announces the general theme or thesis of the argument.
I would begin my article, saying that most of people have found a travel as a good way of escaping their routine. And then I would say for better travel which of quality and quantity should be taken care of, defining the meaning of quality and quantity in my article. Finally, I will add my thesis " we should pay attention to quality for our better travel." or "we had better not to become a competitive traveler."

2. The narration, which summarizes relevant background material, provides any information the audience needs to know about the environment and circumstances that produce the argument, and set up the stakes-what’s at risk in this question. In academic writing, this often takes the form of a literature review.
First of all, I will give the definition of the words "quality" and "quantity" or if I change(paraphrase) the topic using the word "competitive traveler" I would explain it. And then, I will let readers know the travel period that would be the basis of my article and I would develop my opinion according to.

3. The confirmation,which lays out in a logical order (usually strongest to weakest or most obvious to most subtle) the claims that support the thesis, providing evidence for each claim.
Firstly, I will say the more we spend time in a certain place, the deeper appreciation would arise in our mind supported by my research. And then I will compare the information from real places and media to emphasize the information gained in person more easy to remember and more reliable by citing statistics about false information of media. Finally, I will show the influences and benefits of qualitative tour to tourism agencies by introducing tour program beneficial for the agencies. 

4. The refutation and concession, which looks at opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claims, anticipating objections from the audience, and allowing as much of the opposing viewpoints as possible without weakening the thesis.
I will agree that in short moment a person can get inspiration or feel happy, but refute with the problem how quantitative travel badly affect our physically and mentally, and how hard to get deep appreciation in short time. I will use the example of visiting a poor indigenous town of Indonesia where I visit last year and quote a saying to emphasize the importance of time investment for deep appreciation.
5. The summation, which provides a strong conclusion, amplifying the force of the argument,  and showing the readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances.
I will summarize my entire points I said before. I will also say that though the standard of happy can differ and there is no perfectly right answer in this topic, but qualitative travel is more likely to give people unforgettable experiences. Finally I will end my article with my thesis restatement.

Articulation

1) My argument
I want to argue that qualitative tour is better than quantitative tour. These days, as the demand about better tour has been increasing, it has been debated which is better way to improve tour; quality, which means staying long at certain attractions, or quantity, which means to visit as many attractions as possible. I want to highlight that any impression and appreciation that take great role of making the travel more precious and better, is hard to come about during the tour without quality.

2) How I found my argument
My first research was quality in tourism. It seems necessary to define the meaning of quality and quantity in my article. Through the article, I could learn that influence range attractions of qualitative and quantitative tour is more wide than I thought like environments or agents. While I continued researching I could get some supporting ideas that the travel which consists of torrential movement without enough stay time would make people lose their sincere purpose of travel (get relieved or happy), exhausted and deep understanding is hard to arise in short time and so forth. Also, I learned a word "competitive traveler" that expresses those who aim for quantitative travel Besides, researches became an opportunity I should take notice before writing my article like the definition or the travel period that would be an basis for my opinion.


3) New research questions
I have some questions I should resolve for my better article.

a) What is the average travel period of ordinary people?
b) How tourism agencies or other side can get influence by these type of travel?
c) What is the difference of information gained through between media and real place?
d) What kind of information is easy to remember? (From reading or experiences)
e) How many times the media give us distorted of wrong information?

I would keep researching through internet and think about my own experiences, and post it on my blog regularly.


4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler
The argument of mine has the connection with information exploit and control. In the middle of information revolution, we can get and use a number of information about some places before we visit there, but at the same time easy to get wrong or distorted information before going on a trip or limited to get what we want to know. This can be helpful in developing opinion of both sides.
