    How to find the thesis in an article

    Could you guys help me out?


    I need help identifying theses in three different articles. I don't understand how to do that ****. I'm kind of retarded.


    Here is the first paragraph of the first article

    "The purpose of this paper is to view Darwin and his writings in the broad perspective of the historical conflict between science and religion. The modern history of that conflict may be divided into three overlapping stages. In the first stage, the new physics and cosmology of the seventeenth century, combined with scientific, technological, and economic progress in the eighteenth, gave rise to natural religion, or deism, as a competitor of revealed religion. In the second stage, reaching its climax with Darwin, the further progress of science undermined the traditional conception of nature as a stable framework of rationally contrived structures, a view which had underlain both Christian natural theology and deism. In the third stage, beginning in Darwin's day and ex- tending to the present, the methods of natural science were applied to the study of human nature and society, and these methods came to be regarded by many as the only methods which could yield knowledge of man and nature."


    second article is in the attachment

    I know what a thesis is, but for some reason I can't find a thesis in an article. I am a terrible critical reader.

    ITT retarded people.

    Last sentence of second paragraph, OP. (talking about the second article).

    Also, HS English teachers are monkeys with bachelor degrees. A thesis doesn't have to be a single sentence.

    when "liberalism"may refer either to governmental intervention in economic affairs or to laissez faire, then these words have become meaningless and, therefore, useless.

    I didn't ask about the defintion of a thesis. I know what a thesis is. I am had trouble identifying the thesis. The thesis is not always the first sentence, which is what she said. Therefore she is wrong. Hence the "dumb" comment.

    So you read an article but can't identify what point the article is trying to make?

    Lol at you saying you know what a thesis is if you can't comprehend the purpose of an article (why the author is writing it).

    that's not what he said. he can understand the point of an article. he can also understand the definition of "thesis." he, however, has trouble finding the specific statement(s) in the beginning that wholly describe the point of the article.
