SECTION 4: THE ESSAY
This assignment is designed to deliver a clear, well-researched discussion of my topic, grounded in a meaningful research question about how social media shapes adolescents’ identity and interpersonal interactions. My goal is to communicate what I’ve discovered by using credible evidence and thoughtful analysis, showing my ability to reason carefully and interpret research effectively. Rather than arguing for one viewpoint, the essay provides a comprehensive look at multiple perspectives so that readers can understand the complexity of the issue and draw their own conclusions. In addition, this project strengthens my skills in academic writing and ensures that I apply MLA formatting accurately throughout.
