Write a paper making an argument in response to:
How is society impacted by advancements in technology? Are these changes largely positive or negative?
Make your own argument, the “I Say” (using one of the methods in Chapter 4) to the issues
raised in the essays. Be sure your thesis gives your response—and be sure you do more
than summarize and simply agree (Review Chapter 4). Make sure you use the ‘sandwich’
[order_button_a]
method to introduce quotes (Chapter 3), make sure that you include a naysayer to show
objections to your argument (Chapter 6) and address the “so what?” factor, why this issue
matters (Chapter 8).
