Background: Pineda asks you into her office. She explains that she is working on a large project and needs you to complete a portion of it for her. She lets you know that this project will be completed in several steps, with one step due at a time. Pineda is creating an educational program for advanced high school and college level students. Part of the curriculum focuses on relating current events to the historical development of the American political system as well as how cultural sensitivities and ethics influence public policy issues. Since you are new, she is letting you have a choice between two portions of the project. Pineda asks you to prepare a no more than 4-page (double-spaced) analysis of ONE of the following topics listed below. As part of the curriculum, the PolicyPulse package includes thesis statement. Pineda asks you to work on the thesis statement as the first step in the project. Pineda explains that thesis statements are single, concise sentences that indicate what position you will be taking in your paper. As the main focus of your paper should be proving your thesis statement, a good thesis statement is provable. A great formula for writing a thesis statement is: Thesis because of reason based on evidence. “Think of it as the elevator speech for your paper.” Pineda said. “The thesis statement serves as a road map as you begin to research and write your paper. It may change as you progress with your research, but it helps to keep you on topic with both your research and writing.”
