Thought I would post a small snippet of my girls paper.
"People have became so enamored with social networking it has consumed so much of their lives, focus, and attention. All the while leaving the outside world running in the background, dismissing physical things around themselves, face-to-face contact, and relationships outside the internet are diminishing. The social networking rave has led to the misconception of relationships. The values of a relationship are being forgotten and neglected. The importance of having face-to-face undivided attention, the need to reach out and touch someone or the comfort of his or her voice is being replaced by a poke, a comment, maybe even an animated online card. Shauntara Greene wrote that according to Ray Williams a writer for Psychology Today stated that human interaction is a necessity and exchanging physical interaction for social network sites may result in unintended consequences. (Greene)."
This is just a single paragraph on this portion and she has several points she is covering. The statistics on lost work, time taken away from maintain a home/family and neglect of other areas is pretty staggering.
I was thinking of writing an opposing view to help her in covering everything and being more persuasive. I remember one class I had where the professor would review our thesis statement before we started writing, and randomly select people and tell them to write the opposing view of what they wanted to.
