This is a thesis statement I will be writing paper research on it later.
Topic: Effect of Air pollution in human lives.
I want the thesis to focus on this below :-The holes in existing legislation of Air pollution

What is a Thesis Statement? A thesis statement is the point you are arguing or position you are taking. A good thesis statement will usually have these attributes: 1. Takes on a subject/idea upon which reasonable people could disagree. It is debatable. 2. Deals with a subject/idea that can be adequately treated given the nature of the assignment. It defines a reasonable scope for your paper. 3. Discusses the main subject/idea by describing your two ways of addressing your research question (RQ). 4. Asserts your conclusions about your subject/idea. 5. Covers only what you will discuss in the paper and should be supported with specific evidence. In other words, your thesis statement should let the instructor know what you are going to write about. It is your topic plus your assertion(s) about your topic. While your thesis statement addresses your research question, it is NOT your research question nor is it written in the form of a question. The Writing Center at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) says that a thesis statement: · tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion. · is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper. · directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay might be World War II or Moby Dick; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the war or the novel. makes a claim that others might dispute. · is usually a single sentence near the beginning of your paper (most often, at the end of the first paragraph) that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation. Read more about thesis statements from the Writing Center at UNC. In the example below I've used one sentence to do several things. I've implied that the quality of education in Manitoba currently has some gaps or weaknesses. I've also raised the issue that this is due to (in part) to a lack of funding that doesn't allow universities to keep up-to-date or to attract high quality faculty. University tuition fees in Manitoba should be raised to allow universities to provide students with a higher quality of education in the form of more modern facilities and more experienced professors. In addition to this thesis statement, in your introduction you would explicitly tell the reader what you will be arguing or covering in the body of your paper. So, you might say I will be discussing how Government-imposed tuition freezes or limitations reduce the ability of universities to maintain and improve labs, classrooms, libraries and programs (here you've defined a problem). Furthermore, I will argue that reasonable increases in tuition fees over the next several years are necessary and will benefit students in the long run because they will have better equipment and better access to resources and opportunities to new ways to learn. (here you've defined a solution and the topics you will cover) You will have to find academic articles that provide research-based information and data that support your arguments. You will have to be able to answer several questions in your paper. For example, what would be a "reasonable increase" given students' average income levels? Is it fair to ask students to pay more money? What are some important existing deficiencies in university facilities and programs now? What might some priorities be and why? Remember, a thesis statement is NOT a research question. It is your assertion(s) about a research question. Further, a clear thesis statement defines the scope and structure of your arguments. I've just introduced thesis statements here. Constructing thesis good thesis statements takes practice. Next we'll take a closer look at constructing thesis statements.
