Essential Question: Has social media negatively effected society?
Claim: Social media has taken over people's lives and effected our society as a whole in a negative way.
Social Media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have changed how people write the English language.
Reason: Social media was created as an easier way to communicate with people. Now people have created an almost entirely new language used on social media often referred to as "text talk". Abbreviations such as "LOL", laughing out loud, and "BRB, be right back, have become common instead of typing out the words themselves. This has also shown up in some students writing. They write the number two instead of writing to and type "u" instead of you. Text talk has expanded from social media sites and cell phones to everyday lives which is effecting us negatively.
