Reflection
Today’s experiment was fun and very interesting. For the first experiment I did I thought it would fail but turned out to have worked and for the second experiment I knew it would work because I have tried it before. Today was fun because when I was in year 1 there was a magician that did the first activity and I thought that he had powers but now I know how he did it.

ARGUMENT WRITING

ARGUMENT: Social Media has a bad influence on all ages Should people of all ages be allowed to have social media? I think people should not have social media because of all the bad things that go around social media. It is scientifically proven that social media increases the risk of depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicide. Another big problem with social media is addiction. More than 3 billion people are using social media and because of the effect it has on our brain, it is addicting both psychologically and physically. Due to a new study from Harvard University, social networking sites, light up the same part of the brain as when taking addictive substances. Cyberbullying is also another terrible thing that is going around social media. Cyberbullying can lead to many negative actions. Cyberbullying is when someone is sending threatening texts or images to another person through an electrical device such as phones, computers, laptops, etc. Therefore cyberbullying can lead to cruel actions. Nowadays there are dating apps. But with dating apps, there are a lot of problems and one of the main problems is Catfish. Catfish is when someone uses another identity to fool someone else by going on a date with them or doing other things with them. The most common reason people Catfish is because they are not confident in who they are so they tend to take other identities. Health, social media can often lead to blurred vision, eye strain, and long term vision problems like nearsightedness because of the amount of time spent staring at an electrical device. Screens are changing our bodies, our brains and is certaining changing the way we think. Overall social media can be a dark place and it can do many bad things to you both psychologically and physically. Social media can change the whole way people look at the world and therefore access to social media should not be allowed.
