Answer to Question #163061 in English for Abdulai Ibrahim

Question

1.Write out two topic sentences and clearly explain the controlling idea of each

2.Develop one of the topic sentences into a unified complete and coherent paragraph by providing enough relevant support and a concluding statement.

Answer 1

SECTION A

TOPIC SENTENCE 1: Importance of Education

Education is one of the tools that are used to provide individuals with techniques, skills, acknowledge, and information that assist them to understand their rights and responsibilities towards their nation, society, and family. Furthermore, it expands the outlook and visions of people to perceive the world.

TOPIC SENTENCE 2: Psychological effects of modern technology on children’s development

Technology has completely altered virtually all aspects of society for the past few decades; from the way people socialize to the way people learn, work, and many more. One of the noticeable differences is the change in which modern children interact and play with each other, unlike the previous generations.

SECTION B

Even though technology provides different positive benefits, it is also associated with other negative effects on the psychological development of children. Therefore, the apparent question is not whether children are increasingly subjected to modern technology but what effects it has on their psychological development. When children are extensively exposed to modern technology, their brain might be adopted to internet approaches to reasoning (Kardefelt, 2017). Accordingly, the effects of modern technology on the emotional development of children can be further nuanced than simply a “bad” or a “good” thing. In conclusion, society should understand its overall psychological impact on children's development so that its positive effects can be collectively enhanced while reducing its associated negative impacts.
