Is that a good thesis?

A good thesis: ONE sentence States the topic States your opinion States your reasons/arguments

America is a country that greatly helps other countries in many ways such as helping get rid of their bad guys, helping their economies, and live up to their promises in 1776, so America has helped countries and should continue with overseas military operations.

The elderly should get free bus rides because it’s many of their only way of transportation and with all of their medical problems and their deteriorating lives, they can’t count on many of them.

We should not have nuclear things because it costs a bunch, it destroys everything, could cause a nuclear war, and kills people from radiation.

And that means you can eventually end up with tons of diseases.

Should college athletes be paid, this has become a non-stop issue for the NCAA.

Students should have to wear uniforms because it helps behavior problems, saves money, and improves test scores.

Marijuana is dangerous for little kids and can hurt people.

I don’t believe teenagers should play violent video games because it blocks their educations, makes them do violence, and there are so many other violent games.

I think we should not execute dogs because sometimes cause them to bite and be aggressive.

Animal cruelty is a crime in this country. There are pets being left outside and farmers not feeding there animals, fundraisers will help stop this crime.

Texting while driving is bad and I agree because you can harm other people, you can get sued, and it’s illegal.

There should be laws on texting and driving because it is taking away peoples lives, ruining peoples cars, and is making the roads unsafe.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 was the worst act on US soil.

Is global warming really bad because the burning of fossil fuels.

I think all animals should have rights because every one minute an animal gets abused.

I agree that college athletes should get paid because some of them might not have the money to travel, they bring revenue to the school, and they can help their friends.
