The Importance Of Free Enterprises
A free enterprise system provides individuals the opportunity to make their own economic decisions, without restrictions from the government. it allows the supply and demand of consumers to determine the success or failure of an economic endeavor. as a result, some business owners have become successful, while others have not.
In an writing you will choose an entrepreneur and argue whether the free enterprise system was necessary for that individual to make an impact on the business world.

Step 2: Put your information into outline form (prewriting). I have provided a suggested outline below. This is only a suggested outline and thus not mandatory that you use. Your outline might look different and/ or contain more points. This is fine as long as you have a clear introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs and a conclusion paragraph.
I. Introduction paragraph
a. Background on your entrepreneur-How did he/she become successful? What does he/she do?
b. End this paragraph with your thesis. Your options include
i. Given _________’s story, the free enterprise system was necessary for his/her impact because ___________________________. OR
ii. The free enterprise system was not necessary for _________’s success because ___________________________.
II. Body paragraph #1-Prove your claim
a. Start with a topic sentence that clearly defines your main idea-rephrase your thesis here. For example: It is clear that the free enterprise system was useful for _______.
b. Prove your topic sentence with multiple and specific pieces of evidence that prove the free enterprise system was or was not necessary for your entrepreneur’s success.
c. You might choose to explain multiple reasons to prove your claim here or create more paragraphs to prove all your points.
d. Cite any sources you used at the end of the paragraph.
III. Body paragraph #2 (or #3)-Rebut a counterclaim
a. Start with a topic sentence that clearly defines your main idea-Some might say that the free enterprise system did/did not (opposite of your thesis) help __________because ___________, but this is not true because __________.
