I'm working on a literature writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

PLEASE STRICTLY FOLLOW THE OUTLINE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT ANSWERS THE QUESTION IN THE PROMPT. ALSO, INCLUDE 2 QUOTES IN EACH BODY PARAGRAPHS FROM ANY OR ALL 3 ARTICLES UPLOADED ALONG*

ESSAY PROMPT:

Question:

On the whole, does the advent of new digital technology enhance our relationships with other

members of society (in this country as well as others), or hurt them?

Construct an essay that answers this question using evidence and examples from any (total 3) articles we read.

Important notes:
 Your thesis should address the question posed – does digital technology enhance our
relationships or hurt them?
 Your body paragraphs should include examples, including summaries and quotes, from at
least two of the articles we read
 Your body paragraphs should analyze the strategies the authors used in their pieces, and
whether those strategies helped to make their argument(s) more or less valid
 Your body paragraphs should synthesize both authors, and should not be organized by
author (i.e., try to stay away from discussing one author in body paragraph one, and the
second author in body paragraph two)
