The document outlines steps for writing the first draft of a paper, including identifying a crisis or figure to explore, defining it by considering its history, perspectives, paradoxes and irony. It recommends mapping at least two perspectives through a literature review and identifying primary, secondary and tertiary resources on simultaneous and contemporary topics. The draft should focus on one illustrative story, explain a theoretical concept, state a hypothesis, and use the story and theory to illustrate a point, while creating connections and showing other locations relevant to the topic. It concludes by addressing the paper's conclusion about topics like identity, subjectivity and society, and ends by proposing ideas about the future based on the conclusion.
