This is a 4-5 paragraph (600-800 word) Essay Assignment in which you will structure an essay as an argument using your own experience and observations as evidence; give yourself enough time to thoroughly complete the Writing Process.

Topic: For this essay, you will pick one of the following topics. Keep in mind that you are only focusing on the causes (the reasons why) or the effects (the results or outcome) about the topic. Do not attempt to provide both within your body paragraphs (though you can address the other in the intro or the conclusion paragraph IF it reinforces your argument. Again, you are only choosing one of the following and you must stick to the causes or the effects, depending on which topic you pick:

Option 1: Many people believe television is a bad thing for children. However, television can offer some advantages. What are these positive effects television offer children?

Option 2: Social media (like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat or if you want to consider dating sites, you can; just be specific in your essay) has become an intricate part of the lives for young adults (people ranging from 16-35). However, this isn't necessarily a good thing. What negative effects have social media sites had on young adults?

Option 3: Compared to other people around the world, most people can see that Americans are larger, particularly in body weight. What are some of the causes of obesity in Americans?

Option 4: Many people today question why today's children are disrespectful and have so many behavioral problems. What causes caregivers (the parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/older siblings... anyone who is raising children) to stop disciplining children?
