PERSUASION VERSUS JUDGEMENT

Patricia Griffin

Argosy University/ Atlanta

Topic: The internet use has more negative than the positive effects on modern society.

We can all agree that the internet was a great invention that simplified most of the things that

were otherwise lengthy and complicated while they were handled in the traditional methods. The

breakthrough in the advancement of the internet and the development of new technologies were

pivotal in facilitating how businesses models changed, adoption of e-commerce and

globalization. This has created numerous employment opportunities, enhancing the economic

backgrounds of many families. The accessibility of information has also become easier, and this

has improved the knowledge and education levels (Hope, 2017).

The internet, however, also has its cons. One of these negative effects is student over-reliance on

the internet in their academic work. This has crippled their ability to do independent researches

which will help in developing their skills as well as the mastery of their areas of specialization.

Most young student are not able to distinguish reliable sources in academic work, and this may

mislead them when they are searching for answers or explanations. A lot of information is

published by individuals with no authority in the area.

Besides the academic work, the internet has exposed the young generation to unprecedented

immorality where most of them engaged in social media sites which has chat rooms that have sex

predators preying for the young and naïve users. These sites have offered such predators an

opportunity to be anonymous which supports them in luring the unsuspecting young users

(Orem, 2017).

Some businesses have also created a celebrity culture which has resulted in making the young

people to live a life that depends on the approval of other people who are the followers in the

social media. Most of the young people live to justify the responses they get from their followers

in the social media. It is for this reason that I think that the internet should be moderated so that

the young people are not exposed to the sites that corrupt their morality.
