Can Social Media Resolve Social Diviisons?

  Inequality: Can Social Media Resolve Divisions?                This essay was very interesting to read.   I was not aware that segregation still happened a lot today.   The story about Keke was sad to read because she lost her father due to gang violence.   I do not think this essay is inquiry because it is separated into sections and each section provides a lot of information but I did not read any questions.   This essay is both informative and opinioned in my opinion.                I think this essay fits Huxley’s three directions on how to write a successful essay.   This essay was personal, objective, and universal in many ways.   I’ll start by analyzing Keke’s story.   It was personal in the fact that she lost her father and held a lot on anger due to what happened.   It is also persona...

Interesting sources for Inquiry Essay

               One source that I found very interesting was a news article published in a newspaper titled Independent.   The article talks about 15 ways to stay focused, according to scientists.   These are people that I can “bring to my table” because they know what they are talking about when it comes to focus.   One of the ways suggested to focus better was to minimize multitasking.   This might seem very straightforward, but an interesting fact that I learned is that out of a sample of 100 Stanford students that went through a series of tests to examine attention spans, memory capacity, and ability to switch from one task to the next- the multitaskers performed more poorly on each test.                Did you know that exercise isn’t just good for the body, but it also helps with memory capacity and concentration acco...
