Medical researchers, cosmetic companies, and others often perform experiments on animals. Many people feel that experimentation on animals is wrong and should be stopped immediately because animals do feel pain, and there are other alternatives. How do you feel? State your position and explain your reasons. Remember to avoid first person.
Thesis
A proposition or position argument (the paper is not an informative report)
Writers should be contributing to or engaging in the debate or conversation, not simply reporting on it
The thesis should arise from a substantive research question (an open question) so that the process of writing engages the writer in inquiry and discovery
