essential question: To what degree can an individual's choices and actions influence the direction of his or her life?
this is my thesis statement: An individual’s actions and choices are determined by their morals values, how they wish to be perceived and they choose their destiny.
is it good?

Your thesis statement should be an is/because statement.
Your statement does not have the /because/ element. It only answers the question:"How are an individual's actions and choices determined?"Your answer to this question is: An individual's choices and actions are determined by their moral values, how they wish to be perceived, and their choice of identity. The essential question is: "TO WHAT DEGREE CAN - not ARE - an individual's CHOICES and ACTIONS influence THE DIRECTION of his or her life?"So, your thesis statement must take a stand on this issue:'An individual's choices and actions can have an enormous influence on the direction of their life BECAUSE...Or:'An individual's choices and actions do not determine the direction of their life BECAUSE...'You choose one thing, take a specific action, your life goes in one direction:I choose to hang around with a bad crowd, maybe steal, do drugs, etc, my life goes in one direction BECAUSE of the choices I made and the actions I took.Or:I choose to study hard, get good grades, go to a good university, etc, my life goes in another direction BECAUSE of the choices I made and the actions I took. These are extreme examples, but hopefully, you get the idea. Good luck! Ravonna
