Question Description
So this assignment is for english class, all I need is a good enough thesis.

Step 1:
Find a newspaper editorial or op-ed piece, written within the last two months, on a topic that interests you and is generally related to your major (I am business major) in one of the following newspapers the:
New York Times, (http://www.nytimes.com/)

Step 2: Write a thesis.
For the thesis, please use a “because” clause:
________(claim)________because________(reason)__________.
Following are two examples:

(several sentence approach) Ray Miles effectively uses ethos because he selects relevant examples and shares his expertise as a biologist. Miles does not, however, use pathos and logos as effectively because . . . .
Your thesis needs to include your claim (argument) and reasons.
