They Say I Say Chapter 13

Chapter 13  in the book "They Say I Say " by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein explains the debate of social media and it's effect on student's ability to read,write, and communicate. Those who support social media explains that social media helps students to get their point across, adapting their message to best get their audience attention. Also helps students see different perspective from all the available information in the world wide web. While, other critics explains that students can come across a false and incredible sources. Since most of those who research tend to pick the first result the comes up. Also that most conversation through internet are not genuine and isn't a real conversation. I believe that social media do bring out the worst of us. Students tend to not speak and write properly in the web. This over time can develop into habit. Students will become a worse writer. Yes social media helps students to reach their peer easier but it doesn't help in term of writing, reading, and communicating.
