Description

I'm currently in the works of working towards a big end of semester research essay. My topic is sexual assault. I want to write about how sexual assault isn't taken as seriously as it should be. When it comes to military assault men aren't getting the support they need. Judges are ruling sexual registries as punishment for rape or sexual assault. Pedophilia, molestation, and rape. All in all I want to write about victims lives being damaged by these actions and their not getting the right support. The thesis statement has to be really strong. I'll attach requirements below.

Generate a working Thesis Statement for your Research Essay project this term. Note that the word "working" is emphasized-that's because this statement may be polished or changed slightly over the next few weeks, however overall the statement given should express your main argument. Your Thesis Statement must be original and arguable! For help in this, it may be useful to review the sample thesis statements available here from Naomi Tepper. Length: One (1) statement/sentence (NOT A QUESTION) maximum! Remember, we are simply stating our primary argument for the Research Essay project. Below are some quick reference points to help you in designing your Thesis Statement from the UNC reading on Thesis Statements. What is a thesis statement? A thesis statement declares what you believe/what you intend to prove and your general logic behind why you believe the statement to be true (CLAIM + REASONING = THESIS). What makes a strong thesis statement? • It should be contestable, proposing an arguable point with which people could reasonably disagree. A strong thesis is provocative; it takes a stand and justifies the discussion you will present. • It is specific and focused. A strong thesis proves a point without discussing "everything about ...” Instead of music, think "Punk rock in the 1980s" and your argument about it. • It avoids vague language (like "it seems"). • It avoids the first person. ("I believe," "In my opinion") How do I know if I have a strong thesis statement? Try these five tests: 1. Does the thesis make a claim (a statement that could be argued)? 2. Does the thesis inspire a reasonable reader to ask, "How?" or Why?" 3. Would a reasonable reader NOT respond with "Duh!" or "So what?" or "Gee, no kidding!" or "Who cares?" 4. Does the thesis avoid general phrasing and/or sweeping words such as "all" or "none" or "every"? 5. Does the thesis statement pass the Reversal Test? (Can you re-state the claim as its own opposite and does it still make sense?) *If you cannot answer "YES" to all of these questions changes must be made in order for your thesis to be effective!
