How do I structure an essay?

To structure an essay successfully, especially when you have to argue a specific point you are trying to make, you will need to avoid bias and provide arguments both for and against said point. The idea is to be relevant and concise and include a conclusion to sum up the essay at hand as well as your own ideas on the subject. The essay should have a paragraph structure whereby ideally with each paragraph, you argue your point followed by an example (if necessary) and a detailed but relevant explanation that adhere to to essay title. This is important... always relate back to the title/question at hand.
