A thesis statement is a statement of one's core argument, the main idea(s), and/or a concise summary of an essay, research paper, etc.[1] It is usually expressed in one or two sentences near the beginning of a paper, and may be reiterated elsewhere, such as in the conclusion. In some contexts, such as in the British educational system, a thesis statement is generally considered synonymous with one's argument.[2]
