The missing element from the thesis statement "Social media impacts public awareness in both positive and negative ways" is reasons. A strong thesis statement should not only present a claim but also include reasons that explain how social media has these positive and negative impacts. This would provide a clearer direction for the argument and indicate what specific aspects will be discussed in the essay or paper.
