Narration

My persuasive argument thesis is: We should think negative side effects of modern technology development in order to not be replaced by it.

1. What do people already know about my topic?

  People already know that robots will have a big effect on out lives. However, they don't know human will be threatened their jobs by robots.

2. What research has already been done about my topic?

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?) 

People would more concentrate on effect of the technology development and consider if our job will be replaced by robots. If people ignore, robots will do almost everything in the future, and most of human's jobs will be replaced by them.

My narration

 A pair of economists at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, Loukas Karabarbounis and Brent Neiman, are out with a new working paper showing that just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been the fall of labor. They suggest the idea that human will be threatened their jobs by robots with two evidence that graph of declining global labor share and trend in log relative price of investment. For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. The pair compiled data for 56 countries and found that worldwide, workers' share of GDP had fallen roughly five percentage points since the 1980s. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously.As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees. The researchers argue that the technology boom explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy. This research exactly explains relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development and support my idea that robot will take human's jobs in the future.

Introduction

Everyday we absolutely use technology and we know it changed everything in every part of our life. We cannot live without technology in a society. Think about our daily lives. We naturally use it in work place, community, and in communication and socialization too. In other words, We heavily rely on technology. I insist that we will more dependent on it in the future, and human's job will be replaced by robots. You might say this is just a one of prediction about future and will not come true. However, today's many capitalist and economist are concerned about this, and reveal that unemployment rate of laborer and modern technology development are related. In order to not be replaced by technology, we need to aware of its negative effects and think of the way how we counteract against it. 

1. Attention grabber -
I attracted the audience by describing how our lives connected to modern technology.

2. Explains the topic -
In the attention grabber I introduce the topic and the reason why I write this that we don't know why this idea is important to us.

3. My thesis -
My topic is that 'robots will take human's jobs in the future'. I think it is clear to describe the reasons for this.

Classical Argument

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 will start by saying that my argument is very important. Most of people think technology only have a good effect and heavily rely on it. But my topic is that robots will take human's jobs in the future and the reason why I choose this idea as a topic is that people are not that conscious about it. In order to be not replaced by technology, we need to be aware of negative effects of technology development.

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.

I will give a basic idea that unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees. The technology boom, the researchers argue, explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy

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.

I will explain the reasons in this order. 1. Robot technology development will be more advanced in the future.  2. Unemployment rate of laborer and technology development are related. 3. Technology already has replaced many human jobs.

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.

1. It is not impressive because we cannot predict future just as we did in the past : Yes, prediction is not always true. But statistics reveal that relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development. 2. How can you prove it?: statistics. It is not hard to find some materials to prove the argument.

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 close with a summary of my previous points by arguing that people must consider how technology will affect us in the future to not be replaced by them. The only solution is that people are aware of this.

My Topic:
Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

What I hope to learn from this source: 

Relation between unemployment rate of laborer and technology development.

Notes:

1. For three decades, wages have evaporated as a share of the economy. Meanwhile, the proportion of national income consumed by profits, dividends, and capital gains has steadily grown. Capital 1, Labor 0.
2. Just as the rise of income inequality has been a global phenomenon, so too has been the fall of labor.
3. The pair compiled data for 56 countries and found that worldwide, workers' share of GDP had fallen roughly five percentage points since the 1980s. 
4. As the digital revolution started unfolding in earnest during the 1980s, the cost of computing power fell precipitously.
5. As a result, companies began investing in high-tech equipment instead of comparatively inefficient and expensive employees.
6. The technology boom, the researchers argue, explains about half the drop in labor's share of the world's economy

Final Thoughts:

This article provides me with some statistics and realistic evidence that an unemployment rate of labor has been increased since the digital revolution started during 1980s. This support help me to corroborate my idea.

Articulation

1) My argument Write your argument in one sentence. Then, spend some time explaining it. 
I want to argue that Robots will take human's jobs in the future. It is true that robot will make people
 live more convenient and comfortable life since technology has developed. But if we heavily dependent on technology, it will definitely causes many negative side effects. Some of these examples include loss of jobs due to a robots.

2) How I found my argument Explain how your research helped you find your argument. Or, in other words, how did your research evolve into your argument? Start with your research question.
My first research question was, why we will rely on technology? and this research explains me that why we will dependent on robots in the future. But I need to get some specific details about support of my idea that Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

3) New research questions What do you still need to know? What is your research plan?
I have several questions that need to be resolved.
a) Is an unemployment rate of laborer related to technology development ?
I'll continue browsing the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler How is your argument connected to the Harvard Sampler? ANY CONNECTION IS VALID. Please focus on choosing a good argument first, then think about how it is related to the Harvard Sampler. I will help you think of the connection if necessary.
This argument has many connections to the Harvard Sampler. It obviously is directly related to the human mind.

My Topic:

Robots will take human's jobs in the future.

What I hope to learn from this source:

Some professional reason supporting my idea.

Notes:

1. Well, Arthur C. Clarke, a famous science fiction writer from the 1950s, said that, "We overestimate technology in the short term, and we underestimate it in the long term." And I think that's some of the fear that we see about jobs disappearing from artificial intelligence and robots. That we're overestimating the technology in the short term. But I am worried whether we're going to get the technology we need in the long term. Because the demographics are really going to leave us with lots of jobs that need doing and that we, our society, is going to have to be built on the shoulders of steel of robots in the future.
2. Percentage of adults who are working age gone down slightly over the last 40 years. But over the next 40 years, it's going to change dramatically, even in China. The percentage of adults who are working age drops dramatically. 
3.  As we get older we get more frail and we can't do all the tasks we used to do. So It is obvious that robots will replace almost every humans in the future.

Final Thoughts:
I got a professional reason about my idea, but it is digress a little from my idea and abstract.
I need more specific details and support such as statistics.
