Do you agree with Franklin's overall claim (position) that "'the benefits outweigh the negatives"? Why or why not? Which of Franklin's reasons (logical arguments that support the claim) do you think is most persuasive? Why? Even if you disagree with her overall position, be objective about the strengths of her argument. Franklin supports many of her reasons with evidence (information from sources that support the reasons). Does she provide enough evidence to adequately persuade readers? Which piece of evidence do you think is most persuasive? Why? What are the potential problems that could result from devoting, as Franklin says, "a few hours a day" to social media? Does Franklin adequately acknowledge these potential problems? Why or why not? What potential problems might be unique to college students? How could Franklin's argument be made more persuasive? Feel free to share any personal experiences with social media that you think may be relevant (if you wish).
