Davis 1 Raushannah Davis Professor McKelvey-Huges English 123 Composition II 12 November 2023 Module 3-6: Project One 1. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering pursuing, or your field of work. Loneliness is part of an epidemic that social media can bring on. This argument relates to my major because of the responsibilities I will hold when it is time for me to care for and provide for the patients under my care or the employees who are my subordinates. Yes, I can see the two debatable sides in this persuasive essay. I can see the side who believes that social media can help cause a loneliness epidemic amongst the older population and, to a lesser extent, the younger population. Then there is the side that believes that social media can help ease the loneliness surrounding some people, especially the older generation. 2. Identify the potential challenges you may encounter in supporting your argument with a specific audience. The particular audience I will be writing to will be healthcare providers such as doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, and the general public who are and aren’t affected by this epidemic. A challenge I may encounter in supporting my argument with a specific audience is that there are people who will refrain from acknowledging or understanding that this loneliness epidemic is a real issue. Social media may be an issue for people not supporting my argument, especially for those who are not addicted daily users to social media platforms. But, many people, young

Davis 2 and old, see social media as the holy grail. The patients' and employee's support system may not take the issue seriously. 3. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to meet your goal successfully? The goal I wish to achieve with this essay is to bring awareness to this epidemic of loneliness, establish how social media contributes to loneliness (although millions of people use social media platforms), and expand upon how this epidemic targets more older people when compared to the younger generation. I will need to research information from credible and reliable sources, as well as provide statistics to help support my claim about loneliness being an epidemic brought on by social media. Data supporting my claim will allow me to meet my goal successfully in my essay. 4. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument and provide rationale. The first key point that will help me support my argument will be research because the information presented highlights the data itself to back the research up. And research itself is adding credibility to an argument. The second key point will be testimonials on the gender and age gap to show different reasons why they all suffer from the loneliness epidemic. The testimonials will bring perspectives on how and why social media can cause loneliness. The final key point that supports my argument will be the community outreach program that is there to offer and show that the support is there that is needed when it is wanted. The outreach program will show people that this issue is being taken seriously and that there is no shame in wanting help for feeling the way they do.
