Part 2:

Introduction: My introduction will include my newly formed controlling purpose, but along with that I will also discuss the other aspects of social networking I will talk about. I will give the reader a brief outline of how in which I plan on going about my paper, and what topics they can expect to read as they continue.

Body 1: My first body topic I will talk about the way in which the genders differentiate from each other when it comes to how they respond to situations on social networking sites. By talking about this, it gives the reader a slight background in how each gender shows their gender roles on social networking sites. This is important to include because each gender reacts and uses social networking sites in different ways and uses them for different things.

Body 2: My second body topic will begin talking about social networking as means of communication. This section of my paper will talk about the many different ways in which social networking can be used for, whether it be as a communication device between friends, or a study tool in forming groups, or even an outlet for a business, all of these will be brought up and discussed.

Body 3: For this essay I think it’s important that I explain to my reader negative things about social networking, and how in which they are a bad influence, and the ways in which it can be a negative within society. With this section of my essay I will write about negatives such as cyber bullying which can negatively affect a child’s life, and lead to even possible death. I will talk about how many businesses think that social networking, if allowed in their offices, think that it will reduce efficiency, and be a distraction to its employees and maybe even possibly damage the business, as well as its reputation. Another point in which I will talk about is the lack of privacy and how social networking sites can be a distraction.

Body 4: In the previous section of my essay I wrote about how in which social networking sites can be a negative, and within this section I will refute that and talk about the many ways in which social networking can be a positive in daily life. Ways I will do this is talking about how social networking sites can increase businesses, how it can help to improve previously formed friendships, and how it can keep people in contact with each other, whether in the same room, or across the world. This section of my essay will be important to show that social networking sites aren’t all bad, and that they have positive attributes affiliated with them as well as the negatives that we may hear about.

Conclusion: In the conclusion I will fully state that I don’t know the exact reason why social networking is important in our everyday lives, however, I will continue to make connections between my four body sections and my purpose. Within the conclusion, although there isn’t an exact reason why social networking sites are important in our everyday lives, I can state the many reasons in which I talked about throughout my essay, and reassure readers that social networking sties are what they make of them, and they can be a positive or negative, it all depends on how they view them.
