I understand the idea that your thesis is centered around but it is simply just a statement. Your statement has no argument. The structure of your outline follows one of the structures presented in class. You could definitely elaborate more in your outline to ensure that you will include a sufficient amount of details in your paper. The ideas that you touched upon in your outline are good to include in your final paper...just elaborate a little more.
