This is the heart of your essay. Generally, you begin with a general statement that you back up with specific details or examples. Depending on how long your argument is, you will need to devote one to two well-developed paragraphs to each reason/claim or type of evidence.
I think this is one of the most important parts because you need to back up your claims with good evidence in order for it to be reliable

nestimable impact on our lives now and for all the exciting ways it will continue to evolve in the future.
The word inestimable really describes the way the web had impacted our lives perfectly because no one could have predicted the impact it has had on our lives

“With the Web we are trying to encapsulate all that civilization needs. As needs and opportunities arise and new technologies facilitate addressing those needs
I wonder what needs the person is talking about, but the internet has definitely provided many opportunities

pening it for contribution from all. Because so many around the globe have taken him up on his offer and have helped to develop the Web, to create and share content as well as to build standards to keep it interoperable and innovative,
It's interesting how even from the start people from all over the world knew what it was capable of and wanted to help develop it

From 3D-printed cars to kidneys, to symphonic musical instruments, to high-tech high-end bikinis.
In the future we may be able to use this type of printing to create organs, manufacture different products and more.
-
D printing is a whole collection of different manufacturing techniques. What they have in common is that instead of starting with a block of material and then cutting away, it's a process that builds from the ground up. And that can be done in a number of ways, from having melted plastic extruded from a tiny nozzle, to a bed of metal powder that you shoot a high powered laser at to melt the tiny grains of metal together.
3D printing is a technology that has had a huge impact on the world and will continue to have a greater impact as it develops and becomes more accessible.
-
but few could have predicted the impact those technologies would have when they first arrived.
This is very true because the internet would have never been predicted to be this big and cause so many changes when it first started

Cyber bullying has become more and more of an issue these days. And it is mostly kids or teens who face it. People feel more able to say things behind a screen than in real life, so it tends to be more viscous and hatred then real life bullying

While social networks were limited to family, friends, neighbours, and work colleagues who lived and worked close, a new world of online possibilities was born with the progress of the internet. “It has widened our social networks that we are now able to form online relationships with people whom we do not know and would never otherwise have met,”
This is a major change from a couple of years ago. people form friendships and relationships online, this is a good ad bad thing. Its great because people can meet people they would have never would of otherwise, but irl human interaction is healthy and online relationships can lack that
-
ust like every other technological advancement, the internet’s progress has given each person the ability and power to manage all areas of their life from a screen- be it finances, work, social life, and personal interests.
This is a positive take on the internet, that advancements help people be more organized and manage areas of their life online.

This is definitely a big thing nowadays. People will share there unwanted opinions and try to push it on others. It puts a strain on relationships between people who have different views which wouldn't have been brought up in regular conversation.

Nowadays, you see [friends] going places and having fun — all publicly shown to the world — and you're just thinking damn, I wish I was out having fun and there's that horrible empty feeling inside of you.
This would definitely be something that wouldn't happen when there was no internet and people wouldn't gte their feelings hurt as much seeing other people go out without them. These specific questions would be good to ask in the interview to get more detailed answers.

Well, you’re probably right, Jenn. I never professed to be right about everything. The important thing in our relationship is that you have your own beliefs and that I respect you for your beliefs. You were raised to be a sensitive, caring person and that’s exactly who you are.
This an effective listening strategy because the Dad was able to listen to what she had to say and respond with what he felt in a way that she could understand. He was able to give information that was relevant to the interview based on her questions.

there are more general characteristics about some individuals or their environment that make them more or less inclined towards conspiratorial thinking.
So some characteristics make people more inclined to believe things then others? I think that this is true but I'm wondering how characteristics influence common sense or reason which is something anyone can have
-
Among other things, studies find that people are more likely to endorse conspiracy theories if they feel alienated, powerless and disadvantaged, and if they are distrustful of others.
I agree with this because I feel like if people have no power over something and they feel like whatever is happening is disadvantaging them they will be inclined to believe a conspiracy theory then someone who isn't effected.
-
Conspiracy theories, which typically involve one or more powerful agents secretly manipulating world events, are accepted by a large proportion of Americans.
I think the reason this is, is because it can be telling people exactly what they want to hear and they want whatever it is to be true. It is manipulative and deceiving but also can be the truth in some cases.
-
Jones' influence can be seen in other ways as well. Trump has claimed 3 million people voted in the presidential election illegally — another theory that would require a wide-ranging conspiracy of public officials from both parties, for which there is no proof.
Trump only is praising him for his amazing reputation so that he doesn't bash him. It is so shocking how far people will go in order to get what they want.

He has been a chief propagator of untrue and wild claims about a satanic sex trafficking ring run by one of Hillary Clinton's top advisers out of a pizzeria in Washington, D.C.
This is the first indicator that you cannot trust the person because they made such a wild claim and it was false. It sounds like fiction and is only being put out to get a rise out of people.
-
ones has claimed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were an inside job, that the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was a hoax, and that President Obama would round up people into concentration camps.
It is so crazy the lengths some people will go for attention. I think one big clue to disinformation is if someone is blatantly ridiculous with their claims or gong against a very serious and huge event.

she figured out his correspondences contained coded messages and she coordinated with the CIA to continue their communications while her husband was held captive.

The old/new contract is a method that prevents gaps or confusion in your writing by linking your essay’s older information—something that has been mentioned before in your essay—before presenting new information.
This contract seems to be very helpful in making sure you don't leave out important details and so that new information can be understood properly.

“The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men/Gang aft agley,’ seems a cliche but later on, as you go through hard things yourself, you realise the deep truth of it again.
The poem might seem cliche to younger people but as they go through experiences similar to what its portraying they see that's it not cliche its just simply truth and reality
