Introduction: Internet and television should be limited because the society should think and be critical by themselves and not be influenced by status quo, to think and to do what they want.

Body Paragraph 1: Internet, television and smartphones had been increasing as a technology that is easy to get, until the point that almost every single person in the world has one or, has access to them. According to a study carried out in 2013, 55% of the world's households have digital television. Some people say that they do not believe at all in what television transmits, because most of the cases they are controlled and manipulated by people or private companies that only want their own benefit.

Body Paragraph 2: Some people say that they have changed their opinion once or twice because of the n’s influence. According to the experience of Sebastian Mosquera a guy from Colombia, he changed his opinion about clothing brand. He said he never cared about what brand of clothes to wear. But after watch some television commercials, videos and advertisements on the internet, he felt influenced to buy a certain clothing brand. He began to care about the way he dressed and his opinion on fashion.

Body Paragraph 3: Television should be controlled by a transparent and impartial authority. Therefore, social media should just give opinions and inform, in order to let the people, think if it is correct, true or benefit for them.

Body Paragraph 4: The power that has social media especially the Internet and television is too much and this is bad, it is because most of the time they want that you think in the same way they do.

Conclusion: Internet and television had been increasing very fast until the point that they practically take choices for us, they should give advice and try to convince you, but you are the only one that has the last opinion. Read, think, be critical, do an investigation, do not believe everything they say.

  1. Dear student,
    Hereby I am sharing with you my feedback on your outline:
    1. The introduction presents two different ideas: (a) Internet and television should be limited
    (b) Society should think and be critical by themselves.
    How are you going to support the fact that television alone influences the way people think? Don't you believe it is a vague idea that you would struggle to support with theory?
    2. The ideas you are stating as topic sentences in paragraphs two, three and four do not seem to be appropriately consolidated. What I mean by this is that such ideas are not deep enough to analyze and develop in each paragraph. They are more like examples that do not connect well-enough with the main concepts reviewed in our course.
    3. Last but not least, let's try to read more about this issue before coming up to a quick conclusion. Remember that this is an argumentative paper, not simply opinion essay.

    Regards.
