**Read my statements below in its entirety:** LINK: https://socialnetworking.procon.org(Part 1)Read the Pros and Cons page from the hyperlink in this post.

(Part 2)After creating the document I need you to do two things:1. Explain how you would use your refutation to support your claim. In other words, if you were to write an essay on your claim, explain how you would weaken the point of refutation that you wrote to support your claim.2. Look at my example and discuss why you either support my claim or refute my claim.**Responding to these TWO parts** Respond to the second part in a separate word document!***Both need to be MLA format, Times New Roman, 12 font*****Due: Monday 09/07/2020 8 am ET** No late work accepted!!**EXAMPLE ONLY BELOW:**Claim: Though the use of social media has some benefits, overall, social media is a very negative tool. Support: According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), social media has become a key weapon for couples going through divorces “with Facebook being cited as the primary source in 66% of divorce cases” (“Social”).Refutation: Universities use social media to showcase their programs and attributes in a very effective way (“Social”).You can see how I took an idea from the link above to assist in supporting my claim and also to refute my claim

President Trump has frequently derided unfavorable coverage of his administration as “fake news” and has stated that the mainstream media are “the enemy of the American people.” Why has the President taken this unprecedented approach to the media? What is his objective? What impact do you think this will have on the freedom of the press in our democracy?

Because of the Internet, we have access to more information than we can process. Social media, blogs, news, etc. all share information that individuals consume and act on. This information may or may not be held to the same standards that academic research is held to (i.e., the peer-review process). For example, published books are not typically peer-reviewed and thus the claims made within the book are entirely those of the author. Many managers point to books as sources of quality information and even create policies and processes based on this information, when in fact that information is no more credible than a post on Facebook. For this assignment, identify an article, or another source of information that you can retrieve online, that gives atheoretical advice on how to cope with stress. What is it about the article that would lead people to believe its contents? Why should this information not be trusted? What types of claims are made and why would these be questionable? Was there anything true in the article? How do you know it to be true? Then, explain how this same, or similar, the information could be conveyed in a way that increases its credibility. What advice would you give to a junior manager who shared this article with their employees?

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity:Textbook: Chapter 1, 2, 3Lesson Introduction The journal is an essential assignment that is meant to sum up the conclusions you come to after having reflected on the readings in the text, the online lecture, discussion posts, including your own and those of your peers, and any outside material you consult. You will probably find that you do as much or more thinking than you do writing in responding to the journal prompts – and that is perfectly okay. In general, the weekly journal should meet the noted length requirement – not including the space needed for the prompts.  You may feel the need to write out longer reflections – and that is also okay. If you do feel the need for longer reflections, then, once you have written them out, try to edit them, reducing them to their essence. Part of this course is a process – training ourselves to think critically. Part of it is learning to understand how we think and why we think or believe what we think or believe. While the journal prompts will occasionally address the process, it will more often ask you to reflect on the hows and whys of what you know and believe – or what you think you know and believe.instructions for this journal assignment, briefly answer each of the following prompts: Critical ThinkingAfter reading the required resources for this week and participating in the discussion, how do you define critical thinking? You will want to carry this definition with you, so keep it brief – perhaps 4 to 6 lines. You will find many definitions online – don’t be tempted to just quickly copy one; try to form your own so that it is meaningful to you. Heart of the MatterConsidering just what is in this weeks’ readings, why do you think the authors (looking forward in the text) see Chapters 12, 13, and 14 as the “heart of the matter”?What do you think they mean by that? What two concepts do the authors say these chapters emphasize? How do you define these concepts? Why do you think the authors find these concepts important to critical thinking? Challenges & InsightsWhat do you see as your greatest challenge for this session in general? For this class in particular? How do you think you can use the concepts in these first three chapters to help you meet these challenges as well as challenges in your personal life as a member of your family and your community? If you include references to outside sources (beyond the textbook), make sure you cite them properly.
