Write an essay in which you argue whether forms of new media in this digital age (Web 2.0, social media, television, online entertainment, etc.) are a positive or negative aspect of today’s society. Choose a side, present a main argument in the form of a disputable thesis statement, and develop your claim(s) with relevant source-support. Consider exploring questions like, “Does social networking enhance or impede communication skills?”; “Does technology change the course of history, or is that what people do?” and “What does our future (both near and far) look like?” You are welcome to include personal experience and outside sources but must draw from at least two (2) of our class texts for support.
Remember:
• Position your argument in response to a larger conversation to enhance relevance
• Frame all source work (quotation sandwich)
• You must include a Works Cited or References page
• All significant claims should be supported
• Do not let your sources speak for you
