This paper requires a thesis statement. This is just an example of a thesis statement. "To organize your argument you will need a Rule of Three Thesis Statement: Cheeseburgers are the best food for a meal since they lead restaurant sales, are popular with average Americans, and have wholesome ingredients." In this situation you would then write in the first paragraph the summary of the three points that support your argument of why cheeseburgers are the best food. The other three paragraphs would talk about each point in each paragraph. For example paragraph two would talk about how the leading restaurant sales are cheeseburgers and information about that and the next paragraph will talk about information about how popular they are with average Americans, etc. The fourth paragraph will talk about the conclusion of all three points you used to support your argument and then you must write the thesis statement again. Please put the thesis statement in BOLD when writing the paper so I am able to easily identify it and my professor. Now onto the actual assignment I just needed to make sure this was understood because this is a important concept and for some reason very difficult for previous writers to understand. Please reach out to me if any of this does not make sense.
PROMPT
This is an exercise in ethics and civics.
Prompt: In this discussion I want you to consider the following:
Espionage and Seditions Acts during WWI
Internment of Japanese-Americans during World War 2
McCarthyism and the Red Scare
Pentagon Papers
To what extent should the personal liberties of American citizens be curtailed in order to protect the nation as a whole? Do you agree with the national security arguments made for each of the above? What lessons were learned from the above and can you see the same arguments playing out today?
Remember that you should provide a clear thesis to your answer and include specific historical details in support of your argument. Don't forget to utilize evidence from primary source documents!
NOTE: You must provide specific and detailed historical evidence in your posts - cite as appropriate.
