Yesterday we worked in pair to créate 15 thesis statements of different themes. What I learned is that statement thesis must be strong and go to the point, stablishing the subthemes that will be talked through out the essay. The following are the 15 statements me and Jimena worked in class.
1.
School Uniforms
When you think about school, the first
thought that comes to your mind is wearing a uniform. Wearing it comes with
positive things not only for the institution which gives an identity, but it also
reduces the laundry work at home.
Trust can be considered a state
of mind, where two or more people can help each other out. Earning your parents
trust is a very difficult task, but if you follow their rules, and treat them with
respect should become easier.
3.
Drinking and driving
Driving requires total concentration
of the driver with the environment, but if someone drinks and drives at the same
time it will reduce this concentration and cause accidents.
4.
Legalization of marihuana
Most countries in the world agree
that marihuana is an illegal drug because of the effects it causes to the mind when
it’s consumed. Even though some people disagree with the legalization of
marihuana, it will reduce the power of drug trafficking organizations, which is
a huge problem in many countries; it may also be used as a medical treatment.
5.
Animal testing
Before releasing a product, companies
need to test it first to assure if it is safe for the general public or not. In
most of these tests, scientists use animals. Groups of people; like PETA, have argued
that it is not an unethical action, because animals suffer throughout these tests,
and like humans they also haverights.
6.
Changing Universities
Choosing where to study your major
is a very important and difficult decision because it includes your future.
However going from one to another depends mostly on the student’s major,
because there are universities specialized in certain subjects like arts or engineering.
7.
Endangered species protection
As time passes by, species have become
extinct because of human interactions with their environment. The balance of
the environment is disturbed when humans start building cities, hunting species
as a sport and polluting natural habitats.
In order to preserve the majority
of animal species, humans need to establish an agreement that protects species
and their environments.
8.
Life on other planets
The universe is a mystery that
has intrigued humans since the beginning of history, and living on other planets
is an example of this. The lack of space and resources on Earth are the reason
why searching for another planet to establish a colony is an important issue for
the future.
9. Art museums
Art pieces
represent a part of history we must not forget and art museums exist so we can
appreciate them in one place. As time passes by, different types of specialized
museums have been created. For example, there are classical art museums, modern
art museums and abstract museums.
10. Nutritious food
Nutrition is an
aspect sometimes people ignore when it comes the time of eating. It is proven
that diabetes and a variety of heart diseases came mostly from bad eating
habits. A good and balanced alimentation can help to reduce the levels of cholesterol
and fat.
11. Living on campus
As the number
of foreign students increases, living near the campus can be a good experience
to grow as independent people. As responsibility increases, the students need
to make decisions like the money they will be spending in food, friends and
school material.
12. Gambling
Gambling is
the wagering of money or something of material valueon an event with an
uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money. Even
though gambling is a very popular hobby around people, there are certain
negative things like, becoming addicted to this game and loosing everything
owned because of it.
13. The use of technology in Language
education
Technology
has a lot of positive uses; it has helped humanity in many aspects of their
daily life. Education, specifically, language education has been benefitted a
lot because students are able to look for language’s history, and may know the
number of languages spoken in the world.
14. Cosmetic Surgery
A lot of
people know what does a cosmetic surgery envolves, but not everyone is aware of
the consequences of a bad surgery. If the process is not taken with a lot of
care the patient could be in risk and may not like the outcome.
15.
The English Language
The English language is one of
the most important things to know in the world; not a lot of people around the
world know the language, but it has a lot of benefits. Knowing English could
help communicate around the world because it is the universal language.
