What is an abstract?
Your initial abstract will a brief, single-paragraph summary of what your Persuasive Argument research paper will be about, including the position you are taking on your topic. The thesis statement will be included in your abstract.
What’s included?
As much as possible at this point in your writing, include your paper’s purpose, main points, method, findings, and conclusions. If you have not yet reached a conclusion, nor researched thoroughly, include what you expect will be your conclusion. After your paper is completed, you can always go back and change it or add to it as long as it stays within the word limit.
How long should it be?
The abstract’s length should be a minimum of 150 words and a maximum of 250 words; it should be confined to a single paragraph. Unlike in other paragraphs in the paper, the first line of the abstract should not be indented.
What are Keywords?
At the end of the abstract, a list of the important words related to the paper is listed. Leave one line of space after the abstract and begin the next line with the word “Keywords” in italics, followed by a colon, and indented a half inch.

Over the past decade, the USA has adopted at least 15,000 children internationally each year. Due to less regulation, corruption, and human trafficking, there have been considerable problems, and some countries have banned foreign adoption altogether. In addition, many children within the USA are in foster care, so some people want the USA to also ban foreign adoptions. Consider an argument for or against adopting children from foreign countries.
