Example of Thesis Statement
(a)
They say that money makes the world go round. And indeed it
does as without money, life would be very difficult as in todays
society, nothing is free. The side effect however is that people are
becoming more materialistic; more concerned with making
money and what money can buy. But how much money is
enough? Is it ever enough? To some, it will never be enough. In
my opinion, I truly believe that this statement is true and that
people are becoming more materialistic in nature. In this
essay, I will discuss how materialism has affected modern
societys way of life on an individual level, the countrys economy
as well as our spiritual and moral beliefs.

(b)
It is true that no man is an island meaning that no one in this
world can live alone without friendship. That person would be
very socially challenged as he or she would miss the camaraderie
and life experiences that come with friendship. However, I
completely disagree with the statement that the most valuable
thing in life is friendship as there are certainly more important
and priceless things in life besides this. In this essay, I will
outline how life itself is more valuable than friendship, and
elaborate on why family and the individuals principles in life are
ranked higher.
