A summary of proposal writting

The purpose of a thesis proposal is to clarify candidate's basic academic project of the following research. It basically consists of identification of academic problem which the author dedicates to resolve, description of academic context against which the project will work, and summaries of separate chapters as the more detailed plan deriving from the original problem identified in the first part. More briefly, it comprises of formulation of problem, contextualization of background and the summarization of contents in chapters. The more concrete the proposal is, the easier the future work will be. AS a fact of matter, the most important part would have been established up in research proposal in many cases and what left for the following research is just to add some specific supporting information in order to make the thesis more persuasive and comprehensive. 
The formulation of problem is generally considered as the most crucial part of proposal because it involves the core of the research and therefore refers to its potential academic value, that is, its potential contribution to the academic sphere. In fact, it is not easy to identify a specific problem in an area whether you support or attack some theory or opinion. One neither could nor ought to expect to build up a compelling theory immediately. So, what one need to do at least is to identify the potential value of the problem. 
This will lead us to the contextualization of background which is the basic job that a researcher will have to dedicate to. It is by the contextualization that you can find the real valuable problems in this area and show the value to examiners. However, as anyone will note, the most challenging aspect in this part is that one will have to collect and read numerous materials from the ocean of knowledge. 
Once the former two parts are completed, the third part and even the following writing would much easier. 
May I will work out an excellent proposal for my future thesis in the following one and a half years.
