Thesis
statement must be clear.
It may be
this or something similar to this: Overly depending on technology, such as
google, can affect the way the brain processes and retains information.
Argument
is the same as expository writing with the writer’s added opinion and a
rebuttal near the end of the essay.
An
Example of a Rebuttal or Concession in Argument
Now there is the side that believes that it’s
wrong to break the law because they’re meant to protect society. They believe
this because they have trust that the person in charge knows what they’re doing
and see no problems with the laws in place. They have no problem with following
a cop’s orders.
However, there is the side that believes that
civil disobedience helps make the law fit into modern times. It shows that
society won’t just blindly follow rules just because the government says so. In
a democracy it helps people have a voice in political things. However, in Antigone
and the 21st century civil disobedience is still very existent. As long as
people are going against a law nonviolently then it can be considered civil
disobedience. It’s always existed because not everyone will just obey a law
just because someone says so. It’s not something a person learns in school,
it’s humane to go against laws that you think aren’t right. However, like I
stated earlier there are people who do not approve of civil disobedience.
