  1. This is good in the regard that it really does cover all your bases, and acts as a launching pad for what your paper is going to be about.

    The only thing I can think of adding possibly is something that I too need to work on. Sometimes it's necessary to add the 'blueprint' portion to a thesis (examples in the book) to help readers know exactly what they're going to be getting into.

    Great job though, this is a very interesting topic!

  3. I think that your thesis might be a little too open... Maybe try using a specific time...
