Are children exposed too young to social media more susceptible to identity development issues, mental illness, or a higher chance of developing depression?

In this essay, you will create and present your arguable thesis about one problem concerning the issue of identity in the age of social media. You will support your discussion of the problem and your proposed solutions with the texts we have read for the class, as well as 6 independently researched sources.

Goal of a Problem/Solution Essay
A Problem/Solution essay requires you to

investigate a problem,
examine alternative solutions, and
propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.
There are two major things you need to do in a Problem/Solution essay
1. First, describe the problem and persuade your reader that the problem needs to be addressed.

2. Explain a possible solution(s) and provide support to show why the solution is a good choice.

Introduction: The introduction should introduce your topic and share the problem that you see.
introduce the topic to the reader
include a brief discussion of why this is a problem
At the end of the introduction, you should state your thesis, which should include your proposed solution to the problem.
EX: “The future of medicine and biomedical research should not rely on animals for testing. Instead, we should use alternative testing methods and work toward making different lifestyle choices.”

Discussing the Problem: Three reasons why your topic is a problem
Give the reader some background information on the problem
Discuss the first reason that your topic is a problem and
provide synthesized evidence to support this.
Discuss a second reason that your topic is a problem and again
provide synthesized evidence to support this.
Discuss a third reason that your topic is a problem.
Use synthesized evidence to support this
Discussing the Solution: Two solutions to the problem
Discuss your first solution to the problem.
Use several pieces of evidence to support your argument that this solution is viable.
Discuss your second proposed solution.
Use several pieces of evidence to support your argument that this solution is viable.
Conclusion
In the conclusion, summarize the main points made in your paper.
End your essay by stating why this is an important conversation to be having (what’s the “so what” factor? Why should we care?).

identity in the age of social media

In your essay, you will utilize at least 6 independently-researched sources (in addition to course readings that are helpful) that will help you portray your argument.  These sources must be incorporated correctly, used appropriately, and cited thoroughly using MLA standards.

The Essential Building Blocks of Research Writing
Do real research

Begin from a question to which you dont know the answer and that cant be answered just by going to the appropriate reference source.  That is, begin from a research question, not a homework question.
Decide what kind of information or data will be needed in order to build the answer to the question.
Gather information and/or collect data.
Work with the information/data to derive or construct your answer.
This is the research process, and it happens before you begin to write your paper.  No research = no research writing, so dont shortchange this part of the process.

Your introductory section including your thesis: your problem and proposed solutions

Your paragraphs discussing one of the three reasons why your chosen issue is a problem

Your paragraphs should demonstrate your synthesis of textual evidence–When asked to synthesize sources and research, many writers start to summarize individual sources. However, this is not the same as synthesis. In a summary, you share the key points from an individual source and then move on and summarize another source. In synthesis, you need to combine the information from those multiple sources and add your own analysis of the literature. This means that each of your paragraphs will include multiple sources and citations, as well as your own ideas and voice.

1st reason its a problem: How online presence effects identify
2nd reason t’s a problem: Causes identity development issues during childhood into adulthood
3rd reason it’s a problem: Lack of self-esteem and causes identity development issues.

First solution: Focused research on what type of social media affects identity and developing depression.
2nd solution: Parents becoming more involved in their children’s social media activity. Parents or the older generation educate themselves on how social media impacts their children so they can recognize the signs of depression or developmental health issues.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

****************************************************************************************************************I have attached the first EBP Paper which should be used to complete this assignment.
****************************************************************************************************************

The final version of the EBP Paper should include four basic sections: An introduction that provides the background information and states the thesis of the paper; A methods section that details the steps you took in finding information and data about the topic, population, and interventions; A findings section that details your results and presents your review of articles on the outcome and effectiveness of the interventions with the chosen population; and a Conclusion.  You will be submitting edited or perhaps re-written versions of your previous parts one and two for this paper.  This is the only time you will be submitting the conclusion portion. The paper should be submitted as one complete APA style research paper. Details for the conclusion section are included below. 

Conclusion: Make an argument for one intervention approach from those that you presented in Part II.  You will select the intervention that you think presents a supportable solution to your practice problem.  The intervention should be relevant to your target population, amenable to intervention in a clinical setting, and directly addresses your identified problem. 

Describe how and why this intervention is the most appropriate for your issue and population.
    What aspects of the supporting research have led you to believe that this intervention will be successful in practice?
    Assess and describe the fit of this intervention with your client(s).  Does it seem acceptable given what you know about your clients preference, culture, and values?  Does it require a realistic level of financial and time resources?  You are selecting the best intervention which still may not fit all of your needs so address how well or poorly the intervention fits. 

Conclude your paper by briefly restating your EBP question and your primary findings. Your conclusion will be strengthened by identifying gaps in the literature and suggesting areas for additional research 2-3 pages.

The completed Final EBP paper should be between 10 pages not including an APA title page and Reference page. There should be a minimum of 5 scholarly articles used as references for this paper.

The following paragraphs provide a description of the competition between Home Depot and Lowes on selling flowering plants:41
41 Miguel Bustillo, The Garden Gloves Come OffBig Box Retailers Battle to Engineer Prettier, Sturdier, Longer-Lasting Blooms, Wall Street Journal (Online) April 27, 2011.

In the spring Home Depot and Lowes engage in an annual arms race to engineer and develop new scientifically altered versions of common flowering plants that are designed to bloom brighter or withstand neglect longer. The goal in particular is to sell something the other guy doesnt.
Home Depot is the worlds largest home-improvement chain with $68 billion in annual revenue, while Lowes is the second-largest with $49 billion in annual revenue. Although spring is the peak selling season for all merchandise, plants and trees are used to entice consumers into the stores. Analysts estimate that for every dollar customers spend on plants, they spend $3 on accessories such as hoses, shovels, and gloves. Both companies employ weather forecasters to advise them on when plants should appear in stores in different parts of the country.
Lowes uses a team of Ph.D. horticulturalists to choose among a thousand possible blooms developed by breeders around the world. After determining how the plants grow in different climates, the growers test mass production of hundreds and then thousands of plants. Both retailers try to secure exclusive rights to popular new varieties, although sometimes they are exclusive in name only.
Lowes uses a greenhouse complex in Huntersville, NC to grow plants and conduct consumer focus groups where customers can identify the flower varieties they most admire. Home Depot uses another greenhouse complex in Mills River, NC, two hours west, for the same purpose.

Discuss how the oligopoly models presented in this chapter apply to the behavior of Home Depot and Lowes.

The following discussion pertains to the pricing policies of Linear Technology Corp.:65

65 George Anders, In a Tech Backwater, a Profit Fortress Rises, Wall Street Journal, July 10, 2007.

The semiconductor industry Linear Technology Corp. has maintained strong profitability by operating at the fringes where competition is low and margins are high. This midsize company makes 7,500 arcane, unglamorous products that solve real-world problems for a long list of customers, including analog chips that are too cheap for customers to haggle over, but perform chores too important to ignore. Many of Linears chips cost less than 50 cents to build and sell for three to four times as much, but customers seldom complain about the markup.

Linear made a 39% profit on its $1.1 billion sales in 2006, more than five times the average for U.S. industrial companies. However, other bigger chip makers, including Texas Instruments Inc., Richtek Technology Corp. of Taiwan, and Freescale Semiconductor Inc. of Austin, Texas, are now moving into the market and others may follow suit. Unlike in the digital chip world, in which a single winning design bought by a few big customers can yield huge profits, Linear would rather see its order book packed with small to midsize orders from companies too busy to haggle over prices. Intermec Inc., which makes mobile data scanners, uses Linear chips to obtain extra life from its devices batteries. The chips total cost is less than 5% of the materials budget. Performance is crucial for this company; price is not.

Traditionally the dozen or so major analog chip companies have tiptoed around one anothers product lines, helping keep profit margins high. Each company established its strength decades ago, making it easy to extend existing product families and deepen relations with longtime customers. We chip away a little at each others specialties, says Jerald Fishman, chief executive of Analog Devices. But there isnt a lot of direct competition.

Discuss how price elasticity of demand influences the pricing strategies of Linear Technology Corp. What market model best describes this industry? Explain.
