Consider these examples: Thesis statement: Younger basketball players "turning pro" continue to ruin the quality of the NBA. Research question:How have younger professional basketball players ruined the quality of the NBA? Thesis statement: The rise in teenage obesity is directly related to the fast food industry. Research question: What has the fast food industry done to contribute to the rise in teenage obesity? |
