opposing article on my topic

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fpposted/archive/2009/11/26/millennials-and-face-to-face-communications.aspx

 I disagree with this article because it trys to state that face to face communication should only be used in important or necessary situations. But what is considered necessary or important? Here the article goes as far as to say policy announcements and such. But how are you going to know how to argue your point or case with having no other social skills, besides sitting at a computer all day. My point of view is that Facebook and other technologies are taking away from face to face communication and allowing people to gradually lack social skills.

Argumentative Essay Articles

After pondering ideas about what I should write my final essay about, I still have no clue. Although I came across some articles that looked pretty interesting and could lead to what I would like to write about.

Overlooking this article which was titled "Facebook is changing how schools delivers news"
--It was brought to my attention that not only is our class based around facebook but so are many other classes/schools. This school inparticular was even an elementary school, talking about in the past the only way to communicate with parents was an 'old fashioned' conference or by phone. This is not an article I would particularly use to write my paper, but may lead me in the right direction for a topic I could consider.

Facebook ad's blog assignment

College living @ UNCC
This ad kept showing up on my profile because I am in college in the Charlotte area.
They are trying to promote their campus by engaging active student Facebook users in the general area.

Walmart
Walmart was promoting Valentines Day, and giving a discount if you liked the page on Facebook.
"This Valentine's Day give a little love on Facebook"

Dannon Light & Fit
This ad appeared on the side of my profile, which is strange because I actually buy this type of yogurt. My roommate Amanda thought this ad was so appropriate for me because she knows how health conscious I am.

Persuasive Picture



This my persuasive picture, the writer is targeting audiences between the ages of teens and adults.
Trying to promote that all dollar menu items are healthy, which is mis-leading to most of McDonald's menu items, also the salad isn't even on the dollar menu.
