Example of thesis and approach:

(this is rough and will be edited) My topic is the draft, the process of drawing soldiers from a population in a time of war. This process encompasses several steps that are problematic for our nation. Drafting soldiers is just like the lottery with one big exception: only some people can play. Drafting soldiers seems like the lotto games shown on TV commercials, but it is really a high stakes sorting exercise that some deem as unfair.Social movements, political climates, and changing technology has had a big effect on the draft.
