If you are happy and nice everyone will be happy and nice that you are with or near around. “Whoever is happy will make others happy happy to. ” This proves my thesis because everyone has a good side of them and will be happy at one point in there life. “I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.” This supports my thesis because if you get a bad grade on a test you don't have to think about it you can just think about getting a good grade on the next test. “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” This supports my thesis because you can't take things for granted because you don't live forever....

...Name: Angela Davis | Persuasive Essay: Thesis Statement Worksheet Review “How Do I Develop a Thesis?” in the media piece “The Writing Process.” Assignment Directions: Write your thesis statement in the box below: Every time you turn the TV on, there are at least two or three “This is your brain on drugs” type commercials that are aimed at today’s youth. It is a sad thing to know that for every one of those commercials, there is a dealer waiting and willing to offer those same teens their first hit. My kids and grandkids have participated in the D.A.R.E. program at school and yet there are teens that are going through their medicine cabinets trying to experience what being high is. There is a fine line between those who are strong enough to abstain from drugs and those who cannot. There are many debates concerning teen drug use that often focus on the environmental factors. I believe that it is a combination of behavioral and environmental factors that come into play in regards to teen drug abuse. The lack of parental involvement with their teen’s education is one of those factors. The part of the adolescent brain that controls judgment is always developing which could contribute to a teen’s decision to do drugs. The media plays a role as well. The way drugs are glamorized persuades fragile minded teens that drug use it ok. | Grading Criteria: Consider the following questions when developing the thesis statement for your essay. These criteria will be applied...

...Michael Wenc Professor Stewart PHI 255 4/20/16 Missing Shade of Blue During David Hume’s time in Scotland during the 18th century, he made many contributions to the philosophical community. One of his best workings during his time was that of the copy thesis. Along with the thesis is an example supporting his thesis, known as the missing shade of blue example. Hume puts forth a well thought out example showing how the copy thesis works. However, Hume, also gives his own counter example to his example, which destroys his own example. In order to grasp what is actually going on with Hume, I will lay out his copy thesis and define what he calls impressions, put forth the missing shade of blue example, as well as try to decipher his reaction to his counter example. It is given a few different names throughout time, but we will go ahead and stick with the name copy thesis. The copy thesis is simply stated as such, every simple idea is a copy of a corresponding impression. For Hume, one’s perception or ideas, are partly made up of things called impressions. When Hume says impressions, he is referring to one’s sensory or emotional states. An example of someone having an impression would be someone being sad and then having the impression of sadness. Impressions hold varying amounts of force and vivacity. We can think of force and vivacity as a kind of volume knob for our conscious, or a consciousness knob showing a level of consciousness. It can also be seen as a casual influence...

...: Viola Kora Assignment : Analysis of a Good Speech Date : 24/11/2011 Analysis of a Good Speech This is the analysis of President Ronald Reagan’s speech which addresses people on the Challenger Disaster. This analysis is divided on five categories: analysis of the thesis=attention catcher, of the Introduction, Body, Conclusion and Non-verbal language. Thesis- Attention Catcher “Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the Union, but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss”. Ronald Reagan addresses the American people in a very delicate moment. The seven members of the Challenger space shuttle have lost their lives after a few moments from taking-off. Understanding the delicate situation he starts directly with the thesis leading his way into the tragic incident that has affected all of the people around the country. He also has mentioned his wife by giving the tragedy a very personal tone in order to show that it is a painful moment for him as a regular American as well as President. He ends by giving the issue the importance it deserves without repeating him or making...

...away. Reading Lee’s essay there was flow that was evident from the introduction and throughout the body to the conclusion because the author keeps to the same idea in the introduction as in the conclusion that immigrants faced injustice and were profiled for terrorism because they were Arab or Muslim. The author executed clear topic sentences that goes hand in hand with the overall flow of the article. The topic sentences were clear but the paragraphs could have been in a different order; such as the pervasive pattern be a topic towards the beginning of the essay. Overall the paragraphs were organized well with evidence and the organization of evidence was okay. The main thing that seemed to get lost in the organization was the thesis because the thesis was not in a useful...

...affecting the children now, but there is tomorrow and by then it may be too late. It is sad to report that 28% of school children between the ages of 6 and 11 are obese and are likely to develop type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep disorder, asthma, liver damage, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Obese children are usually teased and bullied by their peers. They usually suffer from low self-esteem, depression and poor body image. While researching this topic, I learned a great deal and I am confident that as new programs are being developed and introduced in our schools, it is possible to eliminate and control obesity in school aged children. As an adult, we are accountable for what we put in our mouths. We know what is good and what is bad for consumption. Children on the other hand are not responsible for themselves; they eat what we feed them. They really do not know how to make healthy eating choices. So they rely on us for our sound judgment. Which that being said, the question remains who are to be blamed for obesity in school aged children? The Schools are the largest contributor to obesity, by way of the unhealthy foods they serve to the children. Thesis Statement Thesis Statement: - The lunches that are being served in schools are not nutritious and contribute to obesity in school age children. Paragraphs that discusses supporting points and supports the thesis It is my argument that school aged children did not become obese overnight. Therefore...

...HOW SAD IS YOUR STATE? STATISTICS FINAL PROJECT MARK GRUNEWALD I chose to explore the topic of if individuals in overall colder states have more cases of depression than in the warmer states. While doing research on this topic I stumbled upon many different reasons as to why my topic could be proven factual. The first disorder I found was Seasonal Affective Disorder which is primarily individuals whose moods are determined by the weather. Another topic I discover was that “normal” health individuals are affected by the weather as well. The topic that stood out the most to me is SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I chose to accept this topic because rarely so I hear anything about SAD let alone someone talking about it. WHAT IS SAD? Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that tends to occur (and recur) as the days grow shorter in the fall and winter. It is believed that affected people react adversely to the decreasing amounts of sunlight and the colder temperatures as the fall and winter progress. It is important to note that although seasonal affective disorder usually presents in the fall and winter there are those who suffer from this condition during the summer instead of, or in addition to, during the fall or winter. Seasonal affective disorder has not been long recognized as an official diagnosis. The term first appeared in print in 1985. Seasonal affective disorder is also sometimes called winter depression, winter blues, or the hibernation...

...such as, sad mood, anxious thoughts too of what’s going to happen next, and even a happy mood towards the ending. In the first couple chapters, the book gets into introducing the five main boys who tells their life of being a teenager during the homicides in Africa, and the way they live day by day. They describe the condition of the huts (house), which are made out of hard clay, close to concrete in our country. The way I picture these huts is I imagine the movie “ROOTS”. The huts have palms from the palm trees as their roof. Broken up clay, which they use to model the main part of the huts. [Good details here.] The insides, as one of the boys describe it as being very closer phobic, the fact that each hut contains as much as ten family members in each. That part really got to me. Thinking about how I would feel being a teenager with no privacy sharing my room with five people. Getting into the middle, “MAIN PART” of the book. The village needs protection so they have no other choice but to start training young teenage boys how to kill. To me this is a horrible thing because I can just imagine how the mothers of these boys feel, their little boys risking their life to protect the families and friends knowing their lives is in jeopardy. Tears fall down my eyes every time I read to that point the violence that went down between the two sides of Africa, the north and the west shooting after shooting; babies dying, mothers and fathers dying as well.
