okay here is my topic:
how does making connections between the past, present, and future contribute to the develpment of an informed participant in our society?
this is my thesis for my paper:
Becase the past paves the way for the present and what we are doing will determine what will happen next, using the content's standards in our students' daily activity will ensure they get the best education.
what do you think?

"Study the past if you would divine the future." said Confucius
History, just like Hollywood lame remakes, has a tendency to repeat itself. Thus the importance of studying it. To understand where we presently are and where we are heading, it is first necessary to understand wherefore we come :)

Don't ever start the beginning of a paper with the word "because". you should only start a sentence with because if you are adding a little bit of flavor to the article. Also, touch a little bit more on what you are going to be writing about in your introduction. The beginning thesis statement is good for the most part though. GOOD LUCK

We learn from the past to change our present in order to affect the future.
Many policies and reforms came about this way. It took learning from past achievements and mistakes to make so many things we know today. Many of man's inventions, wars, and policies are because of this method.
It happens everyday and affects our lives in one way or another. We can't help but know what's happening. I guess just taking notice of what's going on and what may or will happen contributes to one's knowledge.
I hope that helped with your thesis.
Actually, I think the present paves the way for the future rather than the past. The past was the present once upon a time.

your thesis is too:
1) general
2) not arguable. everyone (or most everyone) agrees w/ what you're saying.
that's why it's hard to write on it. it's like saying my thesis is "bananas are yellow". i'm exaggerating a bit. and you definitely show some good thoughts. it's a good start, but you may have to make it more specific and more arguable.
it's like you're saying that "the past, present, and future are all important". TRUE

The "paving the way" is a old, tired cliché. Overall the thesis is good.

I agree, its not great to start with because, but I'm assuming that your thesis framework will not necessarily be your introduction?
Maybe start with something like....
The future is determined by our steps today, and the past creates the dreams we will eventually live.

I think you shouldnt start a thesis with because.
also, your thesis should touch on why you think it ensures the contents standards blah blah, like because of x, y, z , then you paper should discuss x,y, z.

Sounds great. But, you should mention that we also have learned not to repeat mistakes of the past. For example segregated education.
