Outline

Thesis: Digitization causes people to alienate(brainwashing) themselves from the outside world creating addiction and fostering unhealthy lifestyles.

Argument 1: People are absorbed by the technology around them because they are not themselves anymore.

Argument 2:  Digital media causes people to leave the real world and enter a place where they become motionless and become a new person.

Argument 3: Using these new digital devices it allows us to become socially challenged and give us an excuse to be lazy.

    I thought your thesis was outstanding and really put everything we learned into a nut shell. Your outline is a good start but definitely be more elaborate in your paper and use evidence, and make sure to tie everything back. I think your paper will be interesting and you will bring up many good details about the unit.

  2. leah,

    you have a very straight foward thesis which is pretty good. In order to have a strong paper, i think you need to have good evidence. once you find evidence, it will make your thesis even stronger. I think if you elaborate on your ideas about feed, it will be a very strong argument. you are off to a good start.
