Thesis Statement

Good ethical conduct is essential in success of an organization; however, everyone does not have the same values.

· Explain what strategies you used to formulate a viable argument.

I used a strategy that would create an argument that make sense, and that link in a logical and practical way, I am using the logos strategy which is the logical appeal, strategic use of logic, claims, and evidence to persuade an audience of a certain point. That way my argument will have strong, clear claims, warrants that are valid, and clear explanations for claims, and strong evidence.

· Explain how you plan to support your thesis statement with compelling arguments and counterarguments

I plan to support my thesis with compelling arguments and counter arguments by looking for opposing viewpoints and finding evidence to contradict them. I am going to address any prejudice or fallacies that I may come upon. I am going to find the strongest possible proof to support my claims. I will also make sure I take detailed notes while gathering information for my research and make sure the information is current.
