Can anyone help me come up with an idea for a thesis statement please, nothing too complicated tho..thanks

I have came up with a few, but I'm not sure yet..

People found guilty of drunk driving should have their licenses revoked for five years..

Tax penalties should be levied against businesses that pollute the environment..

Parents should allow their children to have pet animals..


hmm, kinda looks wierd that the word "should" is in all three of them :ermm:

The correlation between children whose parents do not allow them to have pet animals during fundamental emotional development years and their increased likelihood to be arrested on drunk driving charges in adulthood, is significantly increased when those individuals operate organizations which are directly detrimental to the environment.

Good luck lol...

those are all seperate thesis statements, a thesis is basically your position or opinion on a subject.....the topic dosent always have to come first unless your teacher gives you topics to work off, for me it was easier to come up with the statement first, then the topic and limited topic...but the for the first statement, the general topic would be "drugs" and the limited would be "driving while intoxicated," and thats how i got my opinion or position on those, the second is from the factual statement that many businesses pollute the environment...and the third would be with the topic of "pets" and the limited topic "children and pets"...........................im just tryin to get other ideas on some topics.....this thread is probably meaningless to someone who dont have experience with thesis stuff and essays.....thanks for any ideas guys..

This is the second thing you and I agree with. I must be slipping....or better yet this forum must be in ruin...:cry:
I think we also both agreed in the Mexico Legalizing Drugs so Should the US that the US is a culture of violence, overconsumption and indulgence or something to the like so lets put the tally at three.

just remember when writing any thesis that you should ALWAYS consider the antithesis as well. Make sure you consider variables which may negatively affect your opinion and take them into account. The best way to winning an argument (which a thesis really is) is by anticipating questions and doubts regarding such an argument.

For instance, parents should allow their children to have pet animals. On the whole, I agree with that statement. But there are many factors which may not make this possible, so you have to make concessions. Don't just focus on statements such as 'adults who didn't have pets as children are 38% more likely to commit a criminal offense' without including factors such as the geographical distribution of pets and their owners - for instance, consider a poor neighbourhood which had trouble feeding itself and thus couldn't afford pets and compare that to an affluent neighbourhood where everyone had a dog - would you feel comfortable suggesting that the higher crime rate exhibited by those living in the poor neighbourhood is as a result of a lack of pets? Sure, it may definitely be a contributing factor, but that's not the whole picture.

sorry but that doesnt make sense to me

how could you have a thesis statement without having a topic? i dont get it.

write about NWO or something and once you do make the NWO your topic im sure many people here will give you a lot of thesis statements
