CL 4/9

claim: A lot of people think that social media doesn’t effect people’s mental health, but it does, social media affects everyone in one way or another.

1. the reason my claim is true is because a lot of kids and teenagers deal with mental health issues
2. the reason my claim is true is because social media has replace real human interaction.
3. the reason my claim is true is because social media can have a bad affect on people
4. the reason my claim is true is because college kids feel overwhelmed and stressed out due to social media
5. the reasons my claim is true is because it hurts more people then helps

counter argument

• The writer named Anne K takes the position on our shared topic-issue that not everyone thinks that unhealthy mental health is related to social media. She thinks that social media helps with self esteem and developing yourself. This is my counter argument.

rebuttal

• If I were on a debate stage and the writer Anne K said I was wrong and then explained her counter-argument to my claim, I would reply with everyone doesn’t have a perfect and healthy mental health, social media has a lot to do with unhealthy mental health as my rebuttal.

conclusion

• Many of you are asking, ‘so what? why should I care?’. Well, here’s why this is important. If we focus on reminding people that everyone posts their best life on social media not there worst life, then it’s possible we can come up with a plan to deal with mental health and social media. This plan would involve in person interactions rather than on social media, and would be better than what is happening now, which is using social media.
