argumentative essay

 write a 2 to 4 page (500 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 opposition’s 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)
