After conducting research for my Op-Ed essay, I’ve learned a lot about the challenges and statistics surrounding social media. It surprised me since I didn’t anticipate some of the issue’s numbers to be as high, and I believe that some of the concerns I’ve researched haven’t been addressed or discussed as much as they should have been. I’ve never written an Op-Ed before, so writing an opinion-based piece is something that I can use in future classes. I’ve learned that it’s all about presenting your point of view and backing it up with evidence, whether it’s your argument or a counter-argument. I also learned how to discover credible sources, as I had previously struggled to find a source that was both credible and offered solid information.
