1-6 Journal Guidance
The first topic I chose is Technology Addiction and the question for this topic-
It is possible for young adults and children to become addicted to technology in the same way
that they are addicted to drugs and alcohol. According to recent studies, technology addiction
should be classified as a mental health disorder in medical textbooks. Since I have a seven-year-
old son, this topic has crossed my mind a lot. I have read a lot about it, so it is familiar but fearful
at the same time. Reading about this topic helps me become aware of the warning signs and what
other parents have done to raise awareness.
The second topic I chose is Loneliness and Isolation.
Even though today's society is more isolated than it has ever been in history, it is becoming
apparent that this is becoming a growing problem among the younger generation as well.
I am leaning more toward the topic of technology addiction. The main reason for this is that I am
familiar with the subject, and I am curious to learn more about it. This topic's audience is the
parents of children who use technology, especially at an immature age.
