OR two, you can do a general to specific topic discussion (not a summary!) leading into your argument. Either way, you want to provide some contextualization and MUST MUST MUST make sure you state the author and their source where you derived your supporting evidence from. Hope this helps! :) Good luck with your paper!

your question is very vague...
for your introductory sentence.. have a broad subject sentence NOTHING too specific and then slowly narrow down as the paragraph continues..
the last sentence should be your thesis statement.
