Document Summary
In research paper ask yourself and answer in paper what the law is doing to change this problem. Can use theories not presented in this specific class. Argument is not a description or summary of your topic. Thesis statement: presents the reason why you support the argument. Makes an assertion about a topic and predicts how it will developed. Change your introduction after the end of your paper to make sure it fits with the rest. Only need to have argument and thesis to move forward. Thesis statement reflects ultimate focus of your topic. Mention in the intro what theoretical perspective you are using. Without an argument a thesis is dead in the water. Each reason must be based on own foundation of evidence. Good readers won"t accept claims at face value. Don"t just mention counter arguments, present evidence why you think there are not worthy or not as valid as your argument.
