Topics for Essay #1



Develop ONE of the following topics into a well written, well supported exemplification essay. The title should indicate the general subject of the essay. The first paragraph should get the reader's attention and move from that general idea to a specific thesis statement. The body of your paper should develop two or three good examples or a single well-developed example (MINIMUM LENGTH: two pages, MLA format)

1. For better or worse, social networks have become an accepted part of American culture.  By using examples like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, explain  whether social networks have delivered either a positive or negative impact on society.

2. Reality television has become increasingly popular. Select one type of reality television (those that revolve around talent; those that center on jobs and families; or those that center on style or relationships) and give examples to explain why this type of reality television appeals to the American audience. 

3.  Americans’ favorite television programs are interrupted frequently by commercials. Using examples to illustrate, explain why some commercials have become the most memorable—or the most annoying
