What is a thesis statement made up of? What is a thesis statement and how do you write one?
The opening sentence to a paper is the thesis statement. It advises readers what will be argued, defended or discussed.

The paper ends with a reaffirmation of the thesis statement with a concluding sentence such as "And so it can be seen that Genghis Khan was a product of his times in his recourse to violence but also ahead of his peers in his respect for the opinions of (some) women and tolerance of other religions."

A thesis statement is a usually at the beginning of a research-paper, in a sentence or two, saying what to expected from the research paper. It is a roadmap or an interpretation of a question or an umbrella which covers all aspects of a research-paper. It could be as brief as “Ethical Implications of Organ Trade”.
