  2. Thesis statement

    Because of drug cartels in Mexico gaining control of black market weapons, civilian lives are lost and unrest dominates around Mexico. Drug cartels armed with these illegal weapons are tremendous problem; cities have become corrupted by the gangs and innocent life has become rare. These cities were transformed from thriving communities to major drug fronts. The U.S.’s latest attempt to bring these cartels to justice has failed and now congress has intervened and is now investigating the failed operation.

    The debt crisis in Europe is an important modern issue that needs to be responded to properly. The debt crisis in Europe has different causes for each individual country. The problems caused by it will affect other countries around the world that trade with Europe and Europe. Many countries are trying to develop solutions in Europe, but some of their solutions are not that successful. This is a very important issue for the world because it is not just bad for Europe.

    2. This is a great thesis, but maybe you could say how it is currently trying to be resolved or what started it.

    3. Nick, I like how you gave us some background information on the "Right to Bear Arms". This gives the reader a clear idea about the transition to what your issue began as, and what it is now. This sounds like a really intersting topic and a good thesis!

  9. The care for the disabled in Mexico is scary. Some of the conditions in the institutions are just plain disgusting. Most institutions have staff taking poor care of the patients, and the facility itself. The patients are abused and neglected, and the facility is unclean and unhygienic. This is important because without the proper care they need, they don’t grow properly physically, and mentally.

    1. This sounds good, but I think you can do without the last sentence. So is your paper about neglect of the disabled in Mexico?

      Delete
    2. I think that the basic idea of your thesis is good, but I think that you could possibly condese your description of the care and institutions. I also think that your vocabulary could be improved.

      Delete
    3. I think you should add some ideas about what you think Mexico could do about this issue.

  10. The Catholic Sex Abuse Scandal in Ireland has been going on since the 1990s and needs to be stopped very soon. Priests have been sexually abusing innocent children who come to them for help. To make it worse, other priests including the Vatican know about it and didn’t tell the police. We need to stop this problem now before it spreads off anywhere else and for the well being of the children in Ireland.

    1. Good first thesis Terri! I think it is detailed in the way that it is supposed to be, but are you gonna talk about how overpopulation causes people to become poor in parts of the world? If so, this answers it, so far.

      Delete
    2. I think this is a great start Terri. You have the perfect amount of detail and it looks like you have just enough information for a thesis. You might want to say where in the world specificly you are talking about being overpopulated.

    3. Good thesis. It starts off the problem well. You might want to make your topic more specific, like where is the most common place this is occuring.

    1. Good choice in your topic. It seems like it is going to be a very interesting paper. Make sure you correct "id" in your first sentence to "is". Other than that, your thesis is written very well.

      Delete
    2. Erike, this is a great start to your thesis. I think you should give a little more information about what the one child policy is, to give the reader some background information. Also, make sure you correct "theh" in your last sentence to "the".

      Delete
    3. This thesis explains the problem well. You might want to change the "id" to "is". Other than that, your paper sounds like it's going to turn out very interesting.
