I mean really you gotta use that stuff to come up with a thesis. It sums up your paper but also has an opinion in it, cause your paper should have a point you're leaning towards to portray.
er to sum up, Raiyne yes im now In the Universuty a 3rd year college..
To you, my course is Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, so my thesis will be put one certain kind of philosopher and relate it to the reality today.. so I like the Eastern Philosopher Gautama buddah with his Enlightening thing and which is i like most about his nirvana , enlightening and more

If you are going for a topic like this, then you really need to narrow it down. Subjects like Buddhism are way too broad to write something, make it about one thing you are interested within the subject and focus on it. The main reason for a thesis is as a guide for the readers to see how well your opinion came across your paper.

Thesis

Since writing a thesis is about the statement of a writer's opinion, its all about your argument. You need two things:

The Subject: The What

Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches are the best for traveling...

Point of View: The So-What

...Since it has the advantage that it does not contain any perishable ingredients, require refrigeration in hot weather, thus making it suitable for lunch bags.

To present a thesis, you must support it with specific evidence. Have reasons that back up your thesis throughout the whole essay. A good thesis statement shouldn't argue out the obvious, nor about simple matters of fact.

Example: Peanut butter is nasty.

Since I don't know if your essay is formal or not, you can state your thesis as the first or middle sentence in the introduction. You can use two sentences to state a thesis: the second sentence clarifies the first. Restating the thesis in the conclusion is a good way to end your essay, and usually its best to use different words in the conclusions.

Titles

Good Titles:
*Suggest or state the point of an essay.
*Concise, but informative.
*Catch the reader's interest.
*Stir thought for the audience.

Titles to Avoid:
*Avoid general, boring titles.
*Avoid naming essays such as "Essay 1," or "Cause and Effect."


Hope that answers your questions.

Hey this is what i am looking for, thanks bud! i owe you one!
i hope i can defend mt thesis well so i can graduate next year.
