Weak and strong theses, side by side
| Weak | Why it fails | Strong |
|---|---|---|
| Social media affects mental health. | Nobody disagrees | Social media harms adolescent wellbeing mainly by displacing sleep, not by enabling comparison. |
| This essay examines the causes of the French Revolution. | Describes the essay | The Revolution was precipitated less by ideology than by a fiscal crisis the monarchy could not tax its way out of. |
| There are three types of leadership. | A list, not a claim | Transformational leadership underperforms in crises because it assumes a receptivity that uncertainty destroys. |
| Remote work has pros and cons. | Commits to nothing | Remote work raises output in knowledge roles by cutting coordination overhead, a gain that does not transfer to shift-based industries. |
What your essay type needs
- Argumentative: claim, because reason, although objection. The objection inside the sentence is what makes it contestable.
- Analytical: subject achieves effect through mechanism, which reveals a larger point.
- Compare and contrast: although A and B share X, A differs in Y, which matters because Z.
- Cause and effect: cause produced effect by mechanism, not by the commonly assumed cause.
- Research paper: usually split across an aim and a hypothesis rather than compressed into one sentence.
