Outline for my essay

This is my first outline, but I think it should be improve and made more deeply.

So, I'll fix it again and again before the next class.

The World’s “Japanese Food”

Research Question:

Should Japan spread their “real” culture of food or allow to arrange and name it as Japanese food?

Thesis Statement:

Japan should introduce their own culture of food with considering the diversity of food culture and they should pay attention to how other countries place Japanese food. This is for the following three reasons:

1.     Japan has a particular and special custom of food, so they have to maintain and inherit it.

2.     There is a danger of misunderstanding about Japanese food because other countries enter into the international market of Japanese food. They arrange it too much.

3.     There is a conflict between local restaurant and Japanese one around the world. Japanese restaurant sometimes take over the community of local restaurants and companies.
