-Your name
A Local Treasure is a locally-owned business or organization
that has brought something special into your life. It could be
your favorite ice cream shop, bookstore, or coffee joint.

Heritage - that which is inherited; a title or property or

estate that passes by law to the heir on the death of the
owner

Heritage can refer to practices or characteristics that are

passed down through the years, from one generation to the
next. Researching your family tree would help you gain a
sense of your personal heritage.

What local treasure or heritage in the community would

you like to research on? Why does it interest you you and
what you would you like to know more about it?do you
have an have an opinion about the local treasure or
heritage?

A thesis statement focuses your ideas into one or two

sentences. It should present the topic of your paper and
also make a comment about your position in relation to the
topic. Your thesis statement should tell your reader what
the paper is about and also help guide your writing and
keep your argument focused.

Understanding what makes a good thesis statement is one

of the major keys to writing a great research paper or
argumentative essay. The thesis statement is where you
make a claim that will guide you through your entire paper.
If you find yourself struggling to make sense of your paper
or your topic, then it's likely due to a weak thesis statement.
Let's take a minute to first understand what makes a solid
thesis statement, and what key components you need to
write one of your own.

A thesis statement always goes at the beginning of the

paper. It will typically be in the first couple of paragraphs of
the paper so that it can introduce the body paragraphs,
which are the supporting evidence for your thesis
statement.

Your thesis statement should clearly identify an argument.

You need to have a statement that is not only easy to
understand, but one that is debatable. What that means is
that you can't just put any statement of fact and have it be
your thesis. For example, everyone knows that puppies are
cute. An ineffective thesis statement would be, "Puppies are
adorable and everyone knows it." This isn't really something
that's a debatable topic.
Something that would be more debatable would be, "A
puppy's cuteness is derived from its floppy ears, small body,
and playfulness." These are three things that can be
debated on. Some people might think that the cutest thing
about puppies is the fact that they follow you around or
that they're really soft and fuzzy.

All cuteness aside, you want to make sure that your thesis
statement is not only debatable, but that it also actually
thoroughly answers the research question that was posed.
You always want to make sure that your evidence is
supporting a claim that you made (and not the other way
around). This is why it's crucial to read and research about a
topic first and come to a conclusion later. If you try to get
your research to fit your thesis statement, then it may not
work out as neatly as you think. As you learn more, you
discover more (and the outcome may not be what you
originally thought).

Additionally, your thesis statement shouldn't be too big or

too grand. It'll be hard to cover everything in a thesis
statement like, "The federal government should act now on
climate change." The topic is just too large to actually say
something new and meaningful. Instead, a more effective
thesis statement might be, "Local governments can combat
climate change by providing citizens with larger recycling
bins and offering local classes about composting and
conservation." This is easier to work with because it's a
smaller idea, but you can also discuss the overall topic that
you might be interested in, which is climate change.

So, now that we know what makes a good, solid thesis

statement, you can start to write your own. If you find that
you're getting stuck or you are the type of person who
needs to look at examples before you start something, then
check out our list of thesis statement examples below.

Thesis statement examples

A quick note that these thesis statements have not been
fully researched. These are merely examples to show you
what a thesis statement might look like and how you can
implement your own ideas into one that you think of
independently. As such, you should not use these thesis
statements for your own research paper purposes. They are
meant to be used as examples only.

Vaccinations Because many children are unable to vaccinate

due to illness, we must require that all healthy and able
children be vaccinated in order to have herd immunity.
Educational Resources for Low-Income Students Schools
should provide educational resources for low-income
students during the summers so that they don't forget what
they've learned throughout the school year.
School Uniforms School uniforms may be an upfront cost
for families, but they eradicate the visual differences in
income between students and provide a more egalitarian
atmosphere at school.
Populism The rise in populism on the 2016 political stage
was in reaction to increasing globalization, the decline of
manufacturing jobs, and the Syrian refugee crisis.
Public Libraries Libraries are essential resources for
communities and should be funded more heavily by local
municipalities.
Cyber Bullying With more and more teens using
smartphones and social media, cyber bullying is on the rise.
Cyber bullying puts a lot of stress on many teens, and can
cause depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts.
Parents should limit the usage of smart phones, monitor
their children's online activity, and report any cyber bullying
to school officials in order to combat this problem.
Medical Marijuana for Veterans Studies have shown that
the use of medicinal marijuana has been helpful to veterans
who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Medicinal marijuana prescriptions should be legal in all
states and provided to these veterans. Additional medical or
therapy services should also be researched and
implemented in order to help them re-integrate back into
civilian life.
Work-Life Balance Corporations should provide more work
from home opportunities and six-hour workdays so that
office workers have a better work-life balance and are more
likely to be productive when they are in the office.
Teaching Youths about Consensual Sex Although sex
education that includes a discussion of consensual sex
would likely lead to less sexual assault, parents need to
teach their children the meaning of consent from a young
age with age appropriate lessons.
Whether or Not to Attend University A degree from a
university provides invaluable lessons on life and a future
career, but not every high school student should be
encouraged to attend a university directly after graduation.
Some students may benefit from a trade school or a "gap
year" where they can think more intensely about what it is
they want to do for a career and how they can accomplish
this.
Studying Abroad Studying abroad is one of the most
culturally valuable experiences you can have in college. It is
the only way to get completely immersed in another
language and learn how other cultures and countries are
different from your own.
Women's Body Image Magazines have done a lot in the last
five years to include a more diverse group of models, but
there is still a long way to go to promote a healthy woman's
body image collectively as a culture.
Cigarette Tax Heavily taxing and increasing the price of
cigarettes is essentially a tax on the poorest Americans, and
it doesn't deter them from purchasing. Instead, the state
and federal governments should target those economically
disenfranchised with early education about the dangers of
smoking.
Veganism A vegan diet, while a healthy and ethical way to
consume food, indicates a position of privilege. It also limits
you to other cultural food experiences if you travel around
the world.
University Athletes Should be Compensated University
athletes should be compensated for their service to the
university, as it is difficult for these students to procure and
hold a job with busy academic and athletic schedules. Many
student athletes on scholarship also come from low-income
neighborhoods and it is a struggle to make ends meet when
they are participating in athletics.
Women in the Workforce Sheryl Sandberg makes a lot of
interesting points in her best-selling book, Lean In, but she
only addressed the very privileged working woman and
failed to speak to those in lower-skilled, lower-wage jobs.
Assisted Suicide Assisted suicide should be legal and
doctors should have the ability to make sure their patients
have the end-of-life care that they want to receive.
Celebrity and Political Activism Although Taylor Swift's
lyrics are indicative of a feminist perspective, she should be
more politically active and vocal to use her position of
power for the betterment of society.
The Civil War The insistence from many Southerners that
the South seceded from the Union for states' rights versus
the fact that they seceded for the purposes of continuing
slavery is a harmful myth that still affects race relations
today.
Blue Collar Workers Coal miners and other blue-collar
workers whose jobs are slowly disappearing from the
workforce should be re-trained in jobs in the technology
sector or in renewable energy. A program to re-train these
workers would not only improve local economies where
jobs have been displaced, but would also lead to lower
unemployment nationally.
Diversity in the Workforce Having a diverse group of people
in an office setting leads to richer ideas, more cooperation,
and more empathy between people with different skin
colors or backgrounds.
Re-Imagining the Nuclear Family The nuclear family was
traditionally defined as one mother, one father, and 2.5
children. This outdated depiction of family life doesn't quite
fit with modern society. The definition of normal family life
shouldn't be limited to two-parent households.
Digital Literacy Skills With more information readily
available than ever before, it's crucial that students are
prepared to examine the material they're reading and
determine whether or not it's a good source or if it has
misleading information. Teaching students digital literacy
and helping them to understand the difference between
opinion or propaganda from legitimate, real information is
integral.
Beauty Pageants Beauty pageants are presented with the
angle that they empower women. However, putting women
in a swimsuit on a stage while simultaneously judging them
on how well they answer an impossible question in a short
period of time is cruel and purely for the amusement of
men. Therefore, we should stop televising beauty pageants.
Supporting More Women to Run for a Political Position In
order to get more women into political positions, more
women must run for office. There must be a grassroots
effort to educate women on how to run for office, who
among them should run, and support for a future candidate
for getting started on a political career

According to John Burton (1990), a dispute is a short-term

disagreement that can result in the disputants reaching
some sort of resolution; it involves issues that are
negotiable. Conflict, in contrast, is long-term with deeply
rooted issues that are seen as “non-negotiable” (1990). So
what is the difference, or at least how is it measured in
terms that we can see on a daily basis?

WAYS FOR WRITING INTRODUCTION FOR RESEARCH

To create an excellent first page a researcher should ensure
that the introduction contains four key parts:

1) A thank you statement: An introductory thank you will go

a long way for making respondents feel welcome and willing
to participate. Not only should this statement reflect your
gratitude to the respondent, it
should also highlight the
importance of their input. This will
make the respondent feel valuable
to the study.
2) The topic of the study: Many
people can be reluctant to
complete a survey that they do
not understand or are suspicious
of. It’s therefore best to be up front
and transparent with your
research goals and purpose. Explain why you’re conducting
the questionnaire and how the data will be used. This will
build respondent trust and encourage honest, truthful
survey answers.
 3) The expected time to
complete the survey:
Respondents will be more likely to take part in a study if
they have an idea of how much time they can expect to
spend on the questionnaire. Moreover, adding the
estimated time will show that you take into account the
respondent’s schedule and are not wasting his/her time
.
4) A confidentiality statement: If you’re collecting data for
the purpose of studying a group as a whole, rather than
individual respondents, make sure you promote the survey
as confidential. Assuring respondents stay anonymous will
allow them to put their privacy concerns at ease and answer
all questions truthfully.
During the fall of 2005, you received a Violation Form, or V-
Form, from your hall director or other staff member on
campus.

The Judicial and Mediation Programs Office wants to

improve the V-Form process related procedures for handling
cases of alleged misconduct.
Obtaining feedback from students is vital to the review
process. Let your voice be heard.
We would appreciate your taking the time to complete the
following survey.
It should take about five minutes of your time.
Your responses are voluntary and will be confidential.
Responses will not be identified by individual. All responses
will be compiled together and analyzed as a group.
