Writing a Paper

Writing a paper may be easy for some, but even for those who are used to writing papers sometimes come across a paper in which at the beginning you think it will be easy to write, it turns out a little harder than you expected.  The main difficulty I had in writing my paper was structuring the argument.  I am pretty bad at structuring my papers in a way that it flows well.  I usually just start with an introductory paragraph and then present clearly one side, then the other.  These two paragraphs next to each other show the clear difference in the two opinions.  The overlaps will be shown either in the second set of explanations or in a paragraph after the two different views, showing that they aren't totally opposites.  Most arguments have polar views, but have similarities as well.  The problem comes when the solutions come with completely different views.
At first, I thought my topic would be really clear cut and simple, but now I realize that there are bigger problems than fixing equipment on the buses and firing people.  MATA's primary argument is that they don't have the necessary funding to make improvements.  I found articles in newspapers which described how MATA had to cut routes and fire people because of the decrease in the budget.  So although the complaints can't go unnoticed, there is a legitimate excuse for not being able to do better.  Retraining the bus drivers and service operators that are rude is possible, but that will also need funding.  Fixing the machinery on the bus will also take money.  Creating new and improved routes means more buses, drivers, operators, bus signs, gas, and all of those things cost money.  While we can't really say that the problem lies in money, MATA officials argue it and I want to agree because it is true.  But part of me says that service problems don't lie with MATA officials or money; it lies in the people who are offering the services: the bus drivers and the operators.  So now, although I don't have any support, I have come to a conclusion that there are three different solutions to the problems we are having with MATA.  There are others who argue that it is a race problem.
