Final Essay Assignment

Has the modern world made humans more or less connected to each other?

For this essay, you will consider the impact of technological advances on human relations. Are you better off for being in constant contact with your circle of friends and family? How does it change who you are that you are almost never out of range? Are there negative implications to being so connected?

For this essay, you MUST CITE AT LEAST FOUR SOURCES. Here are two of the sources that you MAY use. We'll talk later about citation format.

For this essay, you should think about using proper pathos, ethos, and logos appeals.

This essay will be approximately four pages double-spaced and typed.

Remember, this is an argumentative essay. MAKE AN ARGUMENT!!!
