FSCJ Theoretical Social Media Model Surveillance In Contemporary Society Argumentative Essay This assignment relies upon information provided in both modules five and six, so make sure you read module six online Learning Unit on citing academic sources before you get too far along. However, we wanted to give you the assignment now so that you have its requirements in the back of your mind as you learn about how to bring sources into your paper correctly.
Using the information in modules five and six as a guide, write a 2 to 4 page (5001000 word) argumentative essay about the use of social media in contemporary society. You may either argue that it is beneficial to modern life or that it is destructive. To do so effectively, you must:
Explain the controversy over social media in your introduction (give necessary background information)
Present a clear thesis statement that announces your position on the issue
Present the reasons you believe your position to be true in your body paragraphs
Support those reasons with fair and convincing examples and evidence from your personal experience and from the sources you have read
Address at least one of the oppositions points (perhaps using information from the sources to do so)
Cite at least two of the outside sources with which you have been provided (below), using either the MLA format or the APA format for in-text citations; your paper should have at least two effective and correct citations total (if you only have two, each one should come from a different source)
Include a works cited page or a references page (depending upon whether you are using the MLA or APA format)
