A dissertation or thesis is a document submitted in support of candidature for an academic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings. In some countries/universities, the word "thesis" or a cognate is used as part of a bachelor's or master's course, while "dissertation" is normally applied to a doctorate, while in others, the reverse is true.
The term dissertation can at times be used to describe a treatise without relation to obtaining an academic degree. The term thesis is also used to refer to the central claim of an essay or similar work.
The word "thesis" comes from the Greek θέσις, meaning "position", and refers to an intellectual proposition. "Dissertation" comes from the Latin dissertātiō, meaning "discourse".
A typical thesis (or dissertation) has a title page, an Abstract, a table of contents, a body, comprising the various chapters (introduction, literature review, findings, etc.), and a bibliography or (more usually) a references section. They vary in their structure in line with the many different areas of study (arts, humanities, social sciences, technology, sciences, etc.) and the great differences between them.

Plot: Webb Wilder descends into a southern gothic underworld flush with casino cash, trailer trash, and raw-boned violence to rescue his congenitally misinformed nephew from rural mobsters. A full time roots rocker, part-time private eye, Webb Wilder receives an SOS from his nephew Abner when 'organized thugs' intent on collecting on mounting gambling debts kidnap Abner's girlfriend, Wanda. Accompanying Webb on his rescue mission is record company A & R (Artist and Repertory) man, Pippin Moss; an ethics-challenged entertainment industry manipulator intent on signing Webb to a new contract. Tracking down Abner leads Webb and Pippin to Pineopolis County, Mississippi, a contemporary miasma of roadside fruit stands, dirt track car racing and murky agrarian crime where "good and evil, black and white bleed into gray in a minute and darkness sometimes catches the angels nappin'."
