🔧 How to Make a Thesis Statement?

A thesis statement is:

• A set of the arguments on your topic;
• Your key conclusion;
• Very concrete, demonstrating all the proofs for your idea;
• Very logical, linking all the arguments for your conclusion in an organized manner;
• Showing the focus of your work;
• Placed at the end of the intro.

A thesis statement contains:

• A topic;
• Your opinion on the topic;
• The main argument for your opinion on the topic;
• The supporting arguments for your opinion on the topic;
• The key counterargument to your opinion on the topic.

🎏 Formulate Your Topic

The first thing you need to do is to formulate your topic. It’s simultaneously the easiest and the hardest part of writing a paper. This first step will determine the entire direction of your research. That’s why it’s so important to make it good.

How do you choose the subject of your work? Do you make it general or specific? Well, it all depends on your assignment. Usually, the best way to work through a topic is to go from its general notion into specifics.

First, read all you can on the topic in general. Then, choose an aspect that catches your eye and focus on it. Go with your heart! You don’t want to spend all this time on something that inspires only boredom.

And, of course, never forget to consult your professor. Imagine that your paper is ready, and you find out that the topic you chose is not to their liking. We don’t want that to happen, do we?

🔑 Choose the Key Point of Your Paper

Chose the subject? Great! Now, onto the main point.

It is relatively easy to formulate the main idea of your paper. It should be the same as the main argument (aka thesis statement) of your work. Basically, it’s the core idea of your work. It means that all the *supporting arguments (aka sub-theses) that you come up with should all work together to prove it.

In other words, the main idea is the key point of your paper, why you write it in the first place. After you formulate your “controlling idea,” start working on the purpose statement. Again, it’s easy – it’s the same thing as the main point of your work, but more detailed. It shows what exactly you want to do in your paper.

Need to do it step by step? Go with the two Cs!

1. Check your evidence. Look at the patterns of your supporting ideas. Make sure they work together logically. The main idea of your work must be their final destination.
2. Compose a purpose statement. Your purpose statement should give more detail about your work in general. What steps will you take on your way to explore the main idea of your paper? The supporting arguments will help you here. Keep it short – one or two sentences are enough.

More detail on how to write your purpose statement below!

✏️ Make a Draft Thesis Statement

You ask yourself: how can I write a purpose statement?

First of all, it shouldn’t be big. It’s just one or two sentences in which you tell the main idea of your work and its structure. And don’t bother with the conclusion at this point – we don’t need it just yet!

Second, don’t expect to have all the supporting arguments nice and ready in the first five minutes. Remember – the easiest way is to go from the general notion into the specifics. So, before you start working on your purpose statement, draft the thesis statement.

Here are some examples to give you the idea of what an argumentative thesis statement might look like:

• In this paper, I plan to analyze the way the modern healthcare system is predominantly male-centered and overlooks female / LGBTQ+ patients’ peculiarities and needs.
• This paper serves to uncover the cultural meaning behind the “virus” quality of modern internet memes and how its humor reflects the general mindset and the value system of the younger part of the population.

Elaborate on your idea in this manner. After you do that, you will see the general scope of the work ahead of you. That’s the moment when you can transition your thesis statement into the purpose statement. What exact steps are you going to undertake to support and illustrate your main point?

Don’t worry about making it too refined. You’ve got your entire paper ahead of you. Some ideas will need time and data to be born. You will always have the opportunity to update your purpose statement in the process.

🍸 Polish Your Thesis Statement

Ready to refine your thesis statement? Do it by answering these four simple questions:

• Is it arguable and specific enough?
• Does it correspond to the assignment?
• Do all of its parts work smoothly together?
• Are there no vague or unclear statements that need to be clarified?

If there are negative answers to at least one of the questions, consider investigating alternatives to your draft thesis.

🏁 Make the Final Version of Your Thesis

How do you make the final version of your thesis? Just answer these four easy questions:

• What is the context? Look through your lecture notes again. Integrate the material and ideas you got on your lessons into your work. Your instructor will love to see that you were attentive during their lectures.
• What is your assignment? It’s an easy one – make sure your work does the task. Don’t stray too far away from the main question. Keep your paper focused.
• Is there specific information in your thesis? We cannot stress it enough – your thesis needs to be specific. Your instructor must be able to see where your paper is going. What sub-theses / supporting arguments will there be?
• What about the rest of your paper? It’s impossible to write the final version of the thesis before you complete the rest of the work. Your thesis is going to evolve and become stronger together with your paper. Just don’t forget to update it.

PS: as you start working on your paper, the thesis is here to give YOU a general notion of what lies ahead of you. As you complete your paper, the thesis is here to give THE READER a general notion of what the paper is all about. The question, the data, and the main goal – make it informative. But don’t include the answer – the reader will learn it when reading your paper.

👍 Place Your Thesis Statement

Where do you place the thesis statement in your paper? It’s usually at the end of the introduction. First, you will want to introduce it. And after you deliver the thesis, you will want to explain it a little more in the following sentences.

✅ Sample Thesis Statements: Bad & Better

Now, let’s drop generalization. It’s time to give concrete examples. What is the difference between a good and a bad thesis? Below are the common mistakes people make when writing a thesis.

1. A thesis with no position.

   “LGBTQ+ people and women don’t receive adequate medical help.”

   Where is your position in this statement? What point are you trying to make? What are your arguments?

   Here’s how it can be done better:

   “Because of the predominant male-centricity of the healthcare system, which has been proven in multiple studies, the way LGBTQ+ and female patients are treated overlooks the needs and specificities of their bodies, thus endangering their health and subtracting quality from their lives.”

2. A too broad thesis.

   “Virus memes represent the moral qualities of the modern population.”

   Do they now? How is it possible to describe the moral qualities of an entire population in just one paper? No, it has to be more specific. It has to show the scope of your work.

   Here’s how it can be done better:

   “In this paper, I want to analyze the most virus memes of the last decade and draw a psychological portrait of an average contemporary person who would find them funny.”

3. An incontestable thesis.

   “Robbing people of their freedom is ultimately bad.”

   Of course, it is. Who would even argue that? A thesis that you can’t argue is a bad one. You wouldn’t write a paper on this topic unless it needed some clarification.

   Here’s how it can be done better:

   “In my paper, I’d like to analyze the differences between prison systems that focus on punishment of perpetrators and those that focus on retraining and social inclusion of inmates as a tool to lower the future chances of a person returning to the life of crime by means of reintegration and positive reinforcement.”
