The author is claiming teens use social media less in order to spend more time with people. The argument is saying social media is allowing us to reach people that we would not be able to reach in real life and make connections around the world and see and hear different view points from lots of different perspectives. The author responds by saying it is a lot easier to talk through a screen and the screen protects us from seeing viewpoints that we do not want to see. The issue she believes is that teens have a hard time have a real life conversation about hard topics, and it is important to be able to have theses discussions in real life.

In the article Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media by Jessica Matlin the author addresses a counterclaim when they say "But ditching social media-even for a hot minute-is seen as strange among young people who can't remember a world without it". The opposing argument is saying young people can't live without social media because it is all they have ever known. This isn’t a strong opposing argument. I think this because even though the young people don't know life without social media doesn't mean you can't live without it. I have only known life with broccoli, but I know I can live without it.

In the article Why Young Adults Are Using Social Media Less by Jessica Matlin the author addresses a counterclaim when they say "Some teens argue that deleting their social media accounts sounds too scary." The opposing argument is saying that some teens are refusing to stop using social media because it's how they connect to the world. This isn’t a strong opposing argument. I think this because the teens are saying the idea of getting rid of social media is scary because it's how they connect to the world, and because of that I think they are not scared of getting rid of social media itself, they're scared of not being able to connect and talk to new people.

In this passage I feel like the author is trying to prove that social media can harm you and influence you to do things that you wouldn't normally do. I think that people can get mental health issues from being on social media too much. because there is people that will Cyberbully, and you never know if something is true or not. I think the author is trying to say that we should take breaks from our phones, like if you're at dinner with your friends and family don't be on your phone try making conversation with them. I think that there's ways that we could still be on social media but not be on it too much so kind of like a balance so I think social media is good for you in small amounts !

In this article, the author gives examples as to why teenagers are taking breaks from social media. I believe this is extremely important since social media addiction is a real thing and can cause low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues. The counter-claim mentioned is that not posting as much can decrease your following, but that doesn't really matter.

In the article Why Young Adults Are Taking A More Mindful Approach to Social Media by Jessica Matlin the author addresses a counterclaim when they say “A lot of the world feels so much entitlement in other people’s lives, which is so crazy." The opposing argument is saying that teens can't live without social media because they have made it a big part in their life. I think that this is a strong opposing argument because if teens make social media a big part of their life they can get sucked in and get depressed because people don't like what they are saying about them.

In this article the author addresses that teens are using social media way to much. I think that the author is right that teens are using any kind of social media I think that it will effect your life by not taking in your childhood and not going outside. And you will also turn shy for not talking to people unless for on there phone and might get effected by having no friends.so I agree with the author and you need to a life so get up and go outside.

The counterclaim implies that teenagers are not just mindlessly scrolling through social media but are actually using it more strategically. They use social media to connect with like-minded individuals, expand their knowledge, and seek information about their interests. This argument recognizes the fact that social media plays a significant role in teenagers' lives and that they have developed a nuanced understanding of how to use it effectively. It highlights the importance of social media for teenagers in terms of building relationships, exploring new ideas, and staying informed about current events. platforms.

In the article the author addresses that teens use social media to much. I agree with the author because teens and myself use social media way to much, and I feel like it can effect our life and how we act and how it effects our school life. Us teens need to go outside and play some type of a sport like football, baseball, basketball,and etc.

In the article, "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin, the author suggests that teens are reducing their use of social media to prioritize real-world interactions. However, she also acknowledges a counter claim that highlights the positive aspects of social media usage. Some may argue that social media provides valuables for individuals, especially those with social anxiety, as it allows them to connect with others digitally.

In "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin, the author says that teens are using social media less in order to spend more time with people in the real world. A lot of teens use social media to share interests and as a way to interact such as sharing music, dances, recipes, etc. the bad part of social media is that teens can get sucked in to scrolling and watching videos for hours because it can become addicting. I agree with the teens using it less because we do need to learn how to interact more face to face and also get outside to be in nature and get physical fitness.

2024-05-02 17:35:22 UTC

The author is saying that teens spend less time on there phone and more with their family and friends witch in my opinion is a good thing and the author is also saying that they should almost spend a little bit more time on social media learning about their other family that might be living in another state and they should reach out to them so they can learn about them.

In the article, "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media," the author, Jessica Matlin, states a counterclaim that teens are reducing there time on social media to spend more time in the real-world. Although, there could be positives, like being able to share your life with different people. However, I agree with this counterclaim because many people are addicted to social media causing depression, anxiety, and stress.

The counterargument is that going online can be good for your social life. I think this is the strongest opposing argument because I have made a few friends through gaming

In the article “Why Young Adults are Using Social Media Less” by Jessica Martin the author makes the claim that it is important to unplug and teens want friendships.

The counterargument to this claim is that teenagers cant live without social media because they pay to much attention to it that they get almost in a mode that makes their brain shut off and just get sucked in to their phone. I think this is very true because people get depressed if people comment something about them when they should just go outside and go enjoy the outside world instead of getting trapped inside technolgy.

In the article "Why Young Adults are Using Social Media Less" a teenager points out that social media enables us to connect with people we might not be able to in real life. It allows us to learn about diverse opinions. I believe this is a strong counter argument because I have made friends through social media. However, the author makes a good point in the end of the article on the importance of having in-person conversations, especially about challenging issues.

The author says that teens use social media to much and that they need to unplug. She says it was hard for teens to make friends so they posted on social media to make it look like they made friends, so they stopped using social media to make friends. For some teens social media is their life and they can't be without it. I don't think social media should get taken away from teens they should use it less because the teens that posted on their accounts got burnt out. So it is good for teens to take a break from social media.

In the article "Why Young Adults Are Using Social Media Less," the author states the counterclaim, "Social media lets us connect with people we may not be able to in real life and allows us to learn about opinions that are different from our own", which may be used to argue against her stance. In my opinion, this is a powerful argument because social media makes it easier to update family members and friends who live far away and stay updated on their lives too. I think taking a break or limiting time on social media is a healthy choice for everyone, not just teens, but you don't have to stop using it all together.

The author states that young adults are starting to use Electronics less the counter argument is that devices is better for young adults so they can video games so that they can stay out of trouble.

In the article "Why Young Adults Are Using Social Media Less," The author's counterclaim is that social media is good for staying connected to people. I think that social media is in fact a good outlet to stay connected with family and friends. I also think that social media can be good for jobs. I do agree though that anything done too much or excessively isn't good and I think a lot of young adults rely too much on social media platforms.

the author is saying teens use social media less to see people in the real world but a counter claim could be that they are learning something on there phone that could benefit them and also be talking to people that they can not talk to in person because they could be in New York. or they are looking at family that are long distance.

The counterclaim in the article "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin is that social media can be a good thing and encourage kids to be social. In the article she says some teens say… “social media lets us connect with people we may not be able to in real life and allows us to learn about opinions that are different from our own!” Yes this is the strongest opposing argument because a lot of people have online friendships through gaming or social media.

In the article the author says teens are spending less time on social media to hangout more in real life but some experts argue that social media helps them stay connected with friends and family who live far away. This means that while some teens might use social media less for real life talks, others find it useful for keeping up friendships depends on how it affects there social lives.

Bryant Lucas

The article says young people want to engage in the real world and in order to do that they are unplugging from social media.

The counterargument is that "Social media lets us connect with people we may not be able to in real life and allows us to learn about opinions that are different from our own." Basically this argument is that online activity can make friends easy.

I do not think this is a strong argument because from my experience the friends you make online gaming or on snapchat are not real friends. They sometimes disappear without a trace and you are left wondering what happened. This does not happen as much with in person friends.

The article talks about how teens are spending less time on their phone to hang out with friends, but they are also using their phones to connect with people, like friend, family and others. This shows that people can stay connected and socialize with friends who are far away or friends who live in different states or places. Still, there are reasons why kids shouldn't be on their phone all the time, like decrease in mental and physical health, from not going out as much. Though, many kids are on their phones to connect with friends and people around the world, plus they learn more about different places and people.

camilaflores31 — 2024-05-08 21:11:22 UTC

The author addresses the counterclaim that teens are simply shifting their social interactions to more private platforms, like messaging apps. While this is a valid point, it doesn't challenge the main argument that young adults are using social media less to prioritize real-world connections.

The article “Why Young People are Using Social Media Less” by Jessica Matlin Says that many celebrities and teens are putting down their phones and going outside. They want to be around real people and they're tired of the toxic fake world of social media.

The counter argument is that teens are afraid to delete their social media. Or that social media is actually good for some online friendships and allows people to connect

I think this is a strong counter argument. A lot of people make friends gaming or on social media. Sometimes they meet up in person but sometimes they just have online friends that last for years.

In "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin, the author argues that teens are using social media less in order to spend more time with people in the real world. The text addresses the counterclaim that social media helps people stay connected and can have a positive influence. The author responds by highlighting how some teens find social media overwhelming and prefer real-life interactions for a better quality of life. This counterclaim is strong because it acknowledges the benefits of social media, but the author argues that reducing screen time leads to more meaningful real-world connections.

The author does well at addressing the counterclaim because there is some value in Social Media but it is good to take a break.

In "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approch to Social Media " by Jessica Matlin, the counter claim is that social media connect us with others, while most say we should connect with those around us. I think that counterclaim is weak, and that connecting with those around us is more important.

In, " Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin", the claim is that we should take a break from social media and connect with those around us. The counterclaim is that social media can connect us with others. I think the counterclaim is weak because social media can distract you from those around you who matter more in your life.

In "Why Young Adults Are Taking a More Mindful Approach to Social Media" by Jessica Matlin, the author states a counterclaim that social media is good to keep in contact with people. While I do agree with this claim I also think it opens the door to many problems we have in the world for children and young adults. I think social media can be used to bully kids so we need to be careful and mindful how we use it.

2024-06-04 18:07:05 UTC

In the article,"Why Young Adults Are Taking A More Mindful Approach to Social media." I shows that teens start to use social media less because they understand that they should also do more things that aren't in social media. The author addresses that teens still use social media to interact with friends and to see what there friends have been doing. I think this is not the strongest opposing argument. I think this because teens have many reasons to stop using social media and only some teens don't realize this. In conclusion, in the article, it states that teens start to use social media less to interact in real life.
