Yesterday,today and tomorrow.（关于美国的……）

Yesterday,today and tomorrow.（这是大标题）
on American's ……(这是小标题。是关于美国某个方面的一篇论文，所以要请各位好心的达人给点建议，省略号里应该写美国的经济状况呢，还是文化变化？日常生活？教育？家庭？）（还得是小范围，不要范围太广的那种，我觉得经济啊教育啊文化啊都挺广泛的，所以还是不行。）

概况老师要我们写5000字论文啊，现在还要拟提纲，可是还没有一点头绪啊，要请各位高人出点主意啊。
提纲怎么写呢？分成哪几个小点呢？

有别的建议，或给出资料当然更好了。
谢谢各位了。

Answer 1

呃，5000字是比较多，如果是论文的话，应该写与你的专业相同的内容，不过我认为写生活，文化方面的比较好，这类比较好写，如果写美国的经济状况那需要的专业知识比较多
An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not

The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm. Giving your host a gift is not just a social nicety in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not obligated to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small token of appreciation to their host. Appropriate gifts for general occasions might be flowers, candy or-if the family has small children-toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.
American hospitality begins at home-especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day. When invited for a meal, you might ask, "Can I bring anything?" Unless it’s a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, "No, just yourself." For most informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or else call to inform your hosts of the delay. During the dinner conversation, it’s customary to compliment the hostess on the wonderful meal. Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!
When you’ve had plenty, you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes. But since you’re the guest, your hosts may not let you. Instead, they may invite everyone to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee. After an hour or so of general chit-chat, it’s probably time to head for the door. You don’t want to wear out your welcome. And above all, don’t go snooping around the house. It’s more polite to wait for the host to offer you a guided tour. But except for
Americans usually like to have advance notice when people come to see them. Only very close friends drop by unannounced. This is especially true if the guests want to stay for a few days. Here’s a good rule of thumb for house guests: Short stays are best. As one 19th century French writer put it, "The first day a man is a guest, the second a burden, the third a pest." Even relatives don’t usually stay for several weeks at a time. While you’re staying with an American family, try to keep your living area neat and tidy. Your host family will appreciate your consideration. And they may even invite you back!
Most Americans consider themselves hospitable people. Folks in the southern United States, in particular, take pride in entertaining guests. In fact, "southern hospitality" has become legendary. But in all parts of America, people welcome their guests with open arms. So don’t be surprised to find the welcome mat out for you. Just don’t forget to wipe your feet.

Answer 2

论文要靠自己争取

如：
Human's life for three days: Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Do you like the famous song “Yesterday Once More”? It is a song which recalls the memory of yesterday. Memories are so sweet but they have gone with the wind. As time passing by, things changed. We grow up. We have to say goodbye to the childhood and face our lives.
When I went into the society, I didn’t wonder time had gone, because I knew we grew up and we are not children any longer. We should think about future instead of being obsessed in the past.
Yesterday was yesterday. It won’t come back, but I still have today and tomorrow. Today is the very minute and second I have now. Yesterday has already past. We are looking forward to today and tomorrow.
Today is the most important day because today is the foundation of tomorrow and the result of yesterday. What we didn’t complete yesterday becomes the root of regret and remorse of today. Tomorrow is great because everything is possible; however, the key to tomorrow is today. What if you can not take good use of today, how can you guarantee that there is a brilliant tomorrow waiting for you?
Yesterday has past. Tomorrow will befall us. The most important thing is every second we own today.
