Good hook?

Question

i need a good hook (first sentence) for my paper. my thesis is: to improve society in a meaningful way, one must be willing to take personal risks and challenge athority.

Answer 1

I am a 'NEWBY', rather an 'Old' Newby. To the entire University scenario, having started 'UnderGrad' studies after 25yrs away from study.

However, to my Mind your "Hook" needs to be an attention grabber, as long as you are able to substantiate, your words.

Something along the lines of;

"Why does the 21st Century Society, in relation to (wherever)need to be altered. Should 'One' need to take personal risks, to see that alteration and if, Society Needs an alteration and the Person Should Take a Risk. To what degree, should those risks be taken and in those Risks, should 'Authority' be 'Challenged', and if so. What level of 'Authority' should such, be challenged and to what degree, should such 'Challenge' take".

To my mind you initiate your 'Thesis' by stating the Core Subject of your analyses, and then make comment about what areas you are going to broach. That are interrelated to the 'Core Subject', and then "SUBSTANTIATE your ANALYSES".

With INARGUABLE FACT, which is substantiated with "Reference to Acknowledged Experts".
