format for citing your sources. Remember that a thesis statement is the hypothetical answer to a

conflicts exist using the comparisons in the first part of your essay and the materials from
class to guide your response. Please choose the article from a reputable source such as
Newsweek, US News and World Report, or Time, for example.
