Topic: Social media's impact on identity

Social media's impact on identity. Fake identities and multiple personas, both online and off, are commonplace in today's society. It is also dangerous for children as there is no way to verify the age and it leads to cyber bullying.

Is social media a time-sucker or a time-saver?

Is it necessary to teach people to be careful about what they share on the internet? If so, should children and parents get additional instruction?

Thesis Statement: There has been a surge in the number of kids using social media, which exposes them to improper content and cyber bullying, due to a lack of proper verification.

LENGTH

Three- to six-page essay (full pages, not counting media and References page). Excess pages are judged on a "need" basis. To meet the "complete" draft requirement, essay text must reach the bottom of the fourth page, include in-text citations, and have a separate References page.

SOURCE MATERIAL

Two credible primary and secondary sources. To ensure credibility, these sources should come from personal interviews, an established database such as N.C. Live, or printed materials such as books, magazines, or newspapers. If you are not sure whether you are using legitimate sources, consult the guidelines for choosing sources in chapters 45-47 of your textbook. If you are still not sure, ask the instructor. Avoid user-editable web sites such as Wikipedia and Associated Content, and essay mills such as 123helpme.com. Using them (or similar sites) will result in a failing grade for the essay, no exceptions. Also avoid definitions as sources; they are often common knowledge and unnecessary, especially if using the word's denotation. If you are not sure, ask.

APA

APA formatting. This means proper header information, correct page layout, paraphrases and direct quotations using appropriate signal phrases and correct in-text citations, and a separate, alphabetically organized References page appears at the end. These guidelines (with examples) are available in your textbook (Chapter 53) or online at https://owl.english.purdue.edu. Using APA formatting tools in a word processing program or a web site such as Citation Machine is not prohibited, but highly discouraged. You are responsible for ensuring correct APA, not the computer. You can only learn by doing.

FONTS

12-point size only.
Double-space line heights.
