PRACTICE 12: WRITING THESIS STATEMENTS

Government surveillance

NO.

No privacy.

You don't know exactly who is watching.

Bad purposes.

Thesis statement: Our privacy is one of our rights as humans and having someone watching us every day will take that right out of us.

Gun ownership

NO.

Some people are not ready (mentally) to own a gun.

You will have to pay taxes.

Bad use (not for 'safety')

Thesis statement:  Gun ownership has a lot of bad consequences, they should be forbidden because you have to be safe without any gun in your hands.

Globalization

YES.

More chance to get anything for any country.

Languages.

More options in any situation. (help from other countries)

Thesis statement: We live in a society where everything has to be available for everyone as soon as possible, and globalization is our best weapon.

Changing your name

YES.

It can be helpful if you are not binary or trans.

You have the right to do it.

Good for your self-esteem.

Thesis statement: Deciding to change your name is a very hard decision, but it needs to be easier. Because if you don't feel that your name represent you anymore you have the right to change it.
