I. Introduction ___A. Introduce the topic ___B. Provide background on the topic to explain why it is important ___C. Assert the thesis (your view of the issue). More on thesis statements can be found below.
Your introduction has a dual purpose: to indicate both the topic and your approach to it (your thesis statement), and to arouse your reader’s interest in what you have to say. One effective way of introducing a topic is to place it in context – to supply a kind of backdrop that will put it in perspective. You should discuss the area into which your topic fits, and then gradually lead into your specific field of discussion (re: your thesis statement).

The simplest and most basic conclusion is one that restates the thesis in different words and then discusses its implications.

Ventola (2011) provides the following definition of DTCPA: "an effort (usually via popular media) made by a pharmaceutical company to promote its prescription products directly to patients." However, this practice continues to receive its fair share of criticism.
