For this planning assignment you will need to think about the topic. You will need to decide what your viewpoint on this topic is. In other words, do you agree, disagree, or perhaps think there are two sides to the question. What you think about the topic will be your thesis statement.

Topic 2 - Although being assertive is regarded as the best style of relating it does have limitations. Do you agree/disagree?
