In your conclusion, include an opposing argument. Recognize the fact that there are other opinions that do not agree with yours. Then reemphasize why your opinion is better and the reader should take your side.
Example:
In conclusion, FB can be a fun, informative source of social media, however, it can cause one to withdraw from human interaction.
I know that many would disagree that FB does not cause isolation, but spending hours in front of a computer screen does not replace the connection one can develop when with others, sharing emotions and finding common bonds.

The Equal Protection Clause is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause, which took effect in 1868, provides that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction "the equal protection of the laws".
Chief Joseph fought for equal rights in his speech to the White House in 1879, 11 years after the 14th Amendment. But as we read and discussed, equal rights were not afforded to the NAtive American Indians.
