Answer to Question #260535 in History for Lara

Question

Create an outline for an argumentative research essay, which you will draft in Lesson 2. The outline will begin with a strong claim, followed by at least three supporting reasons. The evidence that backs up each reason must come from credible sources that you find through research. In its finished state, your outline should show how the claim, reasons, and evidence all relate.

Your outline should include the following elements:

• A claim that takes a clear stand on an important, controversial issue
• At least three reasons that support the claim
• Evidence from at least five sources that backs up your reasons (and the claim, indirectly)
• A works-cited page that lists your sources and follows MLA guidelines

You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Answer 1

The argumentative essay concerns the advantages and disadvantages of using Facebook by teenagers. The claim is that Facebook use among children has brought more disadvantages than advantages. The reason for supporting this claim is due to issues such as cyberbullying, lack of concentration, as well as this may result in various psychological disorders (Marino et al., 2018). Evidence exists that children and especially those attending school should be barred from the use of Facebook.
