Module 6 Discussion
Forum Instructions
In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assesses course outcome 4 and module learning objective 1 and 2. Then, you must respond to one of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.
Your original post is due on Wednesday of Week 10 by 11:59 pm CST. Your response to another student is due on Friday of Week 10 by 11:59 pm CST.
Your response should be at least 350 words long. This includes responses to other students' posts. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
Prompt
Practice brainstorming a cause-and-effect argument. Choose one of the following topics, and explain how its impacts have affected individuals, specific groups, or our culture as a whole: smartphones, social media, drone technology, fast fashion, COVID-19, climate change, or standardized testing.
While the topics themselves are somewhat broad, please note that your reasoning about impacts can be highly specific. You can write, for instance, about how online learning during the pandemic has affected college freshmen. Or you might write about how Twitter has impacted American politics. Aim for specificity when you can!
