Helei Gomariz 10-‐4-‐2015 ENC 2135 Academic Essay Proposal My goal for this paper is to write a type of exposé or an informative paper. I want to focus on corporations in America that have been using their power to manipulate the government and the people of the United States, certain corporations include Philip Morris International, Monsanto, and Chevron. I would like to focus on a few corporations rather than just a generalization because I can use specific examples of the countless scandals these companies have faced and the scientific evidence that is available to support them. I have found the companies that seem to be the most corrupt according to multiple Internet searches and articles, and they are definitely among the largest and well-‐known companies in the world. We see products from these companies around us every day, but we don’t realize how powerful they actually are. The sole purpose of these corporations is for their own benefit and I truly believe that they are preventing the world from progressing. How can the government turn a blind eye to the corruption and manipulation and threats that these companies pose to their nation? This is what I’m hoping to discover while researching this topic. Does the American government actually believe that these companies produce products that society cannot function without? I don’t think that corporations have the right to manipulate the law in their favor, at the expense of the people. Others may disagree and I would enjoy reading about the logic behind their argument as well. I have always been interested in these types of issues, in fact in another class that I am taking this semester I am writing a paper about the immorality of animal testing. I have my own beliefs on this matter, but I also think that other people may have many valid points that would oppose my argument. I will provide information from both sides of the argument and analyze them to support the idea of a fair argument in which the audience can decide which position they will take based on careful and analysis and evidence gathered and put together by me.
