What Is A Conclusion Paragraph?
In essay terms, a conclusion paragraph is one which is used to sum up and bring to a conclusion, all of the ideas that have been discussed during the body of the essay. The conclusion paragraph can be used to demonstrate to the audience that the goal you set out to achieve has been accomplished. It can also show the reader that you have proven your thesis statement.
Example of a Conclusion Paragraph
This example is one taken from an essay based on the subject of why Ross did not deserve Rachael on the TV series, Friends.
Even though viewers had always expected that Ross and Rachael would reunite at the end of the Friends series, the fact is that Ross did not deserve her as a girlfriend. As we seen at the beginning of the series, he was unfaithful to her after they had been together for more than a year, and he did not wish to admit his wrongdoings once they attempted to get back together after breaking up the first time. On top of this, Ross was extremely demanding and jealous as a partner, shouting at Rachael in the presence of their friends on many occasions. Finally, and most importantly, he had an awful reaction when she told him that she was pregnant after the wedding of Monica and Chandler, which made him undesirable as a partner for either her or any other character within the show. This conclusion is even more apparent when we view the show years after it ended, now that we have a better understanding of the rights of women and of domestic abuse in romantic relationships.

I. Introduction
The U.S. Constitution states that the number of representatives that each state can send to the U.S. House of Representative must be based on the state’s population. That made it important to know how many people were living in each state. The Constitution in Article I calls for an “enumeration,” or counting, of the population every ten years. This enumeration is called a census.
II. Body
Each person is counted based on their usual residence, or where they live and sleep most of the time. All people living in a state are counted during the census, whether they are citizens, non-citizens, adults or children. The census is conducted in each year that ends in a 0. One day of the year is selected as the official census day. It is meant to be a snapshot of the country, and it will count all the people alive on that one day. This keeps babies that are born later in the year and people who die during the year from confusing the numbers.
The census day has varied since it began in 1790. Until 1830, a day in August was the census day. Then June 1st was selected as census day until 1910. Then it change to April, then January, and back to April. Since 1930 the enumeration day has been April 1st.
The early censuses were conducted by people, called enumerators, that went from house to house asking about the number of people living in the house. It took a long time to gather that information, sometimes over a year.
Beginning in 1960, the U.S. Bureau of the Census began mailing out forms to each home instead of having someone visit each home. This cut costs and made the process faster.
All personal information in the census is kept private for 72 years. Then it is released to the public. The last census that is available to the public is the 1940 census. The 1950 census will be released in 2022.
