Reading
:

Inside Facebook’s (Totally Insane, Unintentionally Gigantic, Hyperpartisan) Political-Media Machine by John Herrman

Writing Prompt: John Herrman asks the question, “What is Facebook doing to our politics?” Write an argumentative essay in which you explain the effect Facebook has on our politics, that is, how Facebook may or may not be influencing the outcome of our political elections.

Hint:
DO NOT MAKE this a paper about the good and bad side of Facebook.
You must focus on how the social media giant influences our culture, and ultimately
influences our politics which has a direct effect on the quality of our lives.

To help develop your ideas and help you write this essay, you may review the discussion board reading by Judy Estrin,
“I Helped Create the Internet, and I’m Worried about What It’s Doing to Young People”.
THE ESSAY WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AN OUTSIDE RESEARCHED SOURCE.
