It's a position statement. Think about a topic that has some debate or opinion surrounding it, then consider your own perspective. You will then form a statement to reflect this stance. There is a bunch of information on the internet which can help you craft a good statement for your topic:

A thesis statement is just the main idea of the paper. Once you figure out what specific topic the paper is about, come up with a sentence about it that you can build a paper around.

Ask yourself the question: "What is this paper about?" In one sentence, answer the question. That is your thesis statement.

You need to identify what exactly it is you're central point of the paper is in one concise sentence.
