In a 4-5 page argumentative paper, not including your Works Cited page, address the following question with an argumentative thesis:
In Sherry Turkles Alone Together (BOOK), does she argue convincingly about the personal destruction resulting from our growing dependence on social media technology or is her argument sodden with Luddite paranoia, one-sided bias, too much reliance on personal anecdotage (as opposed to research), and any other fallacies you see? Or does she convincingly puncture the techno-utopian balloon with her techno-skepticism?
The paper should present a thesis that is specific, manageable, provable, and contestablein other words, the thesis should offer a clear position, stand, or opinion that will be proven with research. You should analyze and prove your thesis using examples and quotes from a variety of sources. Also, you need to include at least one counterargument.
You need to research and cite from at least five sources. One of the five sources can be Alone Together. You must use at least 3 different types of sources. At least one source must be from a Pierce library database. At least one source must be a book, anthology or textbook. At least one source must be from a credible website, appropriate for academic use. The paper should not over-rely on one main source for most of the information.
