3-8-18 Unit 2 Draft
“The art of life is a constant readjustment
to our surroundings,” said Kakuzo Okakaura. Over the years, new technology has
been invented as the older inventions are evolved. Each generation is exposed
more and more to the newer technology, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets,
etc. As technology evolves and becomes more integrated into society and
everyone’s daily life, it has positively affected life and the use of social
media. Some ways that social media specifically has positively impacted society
is when it helps people connect easier around the world, it allows people a
quicker and more convenient way to check in on what everyone is doing and what
is going on in the world, and it is a fast way to get news when in emergency
situations.
Social media has positively
impacted society because it allows people to connect easier around the world.
Another way social media has
positively impacted society is that it provides a quicker and more convenient
way to check in on what everyone is doing and what is going on in the world.
However, some may say that social
media has negatively impacted society because there is a lack of verbal
communication and there are bad influences.
Social media has also positively
impacted society in that it provides a faster way for people to get news when
there are emergency situations like earthquakes or hurricanes. Since everyone
is constantly using their phones, it is quicker to check social media or
text/message people regarding their condition. Like AJ Agrwal pointed out in
his article on Forbes, “News outlets can share breaking stories, alerts and
other important bits of news instantly with their followers. When more people
are aware of a situation, those working to secure locations and ensure the
safety of the general public can perform their job duties more efficiently.” People
can get notifications instantly and get notified if there’s a active shooter or
fire or an emergency weather notification. In addition, if people are notified
of certain situations, they can assist in helping control the situation or
getting out of the area as quickly as possible.
Hello! When reading your draft, I thought it was funny because we are writing about the same thing but taking opposite stances. You do provide solid arguments and examples that back up your stance which can actually help me with my counterarguments so thank you. You also provide a good counterargument about why technology can negatively impact society. As long as you elaborate on these points and further support them with your sources, you will write a great piece. Great job!!

Hey again! Just wanted to comment on the format of your blog. I love the way you have it set up and love your cover picture! Everything is in the correct order, titled properly, and it is super easy to navigate. Awesome job on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHey, I think you have a strong start and like how you have a topic sentence to direct each of your supporting arguments. I also think one rubric point to consider would be to try to narrow the focus of your thesis or make it more specific. Really good start so far.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as a general comment on your blog, I think it is starting to shape up nicely and the unit 2 tab is very convenient and organized.
