Could someone help me with a thesis statement?I have to write a paper, but I do not know how to go about writing it. Does anyone have any ideas?

A thesis statement is your main argument. What makes a thesis statement a good one is the following:

1. It must be debatable. If it is not debatable, there is no point in writing about it.

2. You must have good reasons for why you believe in what you do.

3. Also to make your thesis stronger, you want to consider other view points, especially people who may not agree.

Here is an example:

"The Athenian Empire was not democratic." Now what you need to do is give a few reasons why you this this thesis is true. For example, you can say that they were imperialistic, that they had slave and they did not treat women with respect.
