Essay Instructions:

This whole paper is about 10 pages long, it has some subtopics, cyberbully is one of the subtopic of my paper. I almost finished the other subtopics, so I only need the cyberbully part of this paper (about 3 pages). I don’t need the conclusion of this part！ However, I need at least three sources in cyberbully part, which have to use APA format in-text citation and reference. I will post the whole paper instructions and feedback on next step by document. The paper has to follow the instructions, but you only write for the cyberbully part (3 pages). I will also post the PowerPoint that I present for this Cyberbully part, you could refer to my general idea, but you don’t have to use the reference that I gave in PPT.
If you have any questions, please let me know ASAP. Thank you so much!!!

RESEARCH PROJECT GUIDELINES The research paper will be an ongoing process throughout the semester that will require you to choose a topic, research it, and present the information in a well-developed paper. The research paper should NOT simply be a "report" on the topic where all you do is organize and present non-controversial researched information. Instead, your research should contain a thesis that expresses some opinion or analysis you have regarding your topic. For example, you could research the relationship between eating disorders and advertising and argue that advertising has a direct impact on obesity (although this is still a broad argument and would need to be more focused). Your job is to convince your reader to accept your position, or at least to accept that it is a valid opinion that they should take seriously. Use of sources: • It is important to discuss information that supports your position as well as information that supports the opposing position. Because of this, you will need to do extensive research in order to be sure you have a balance of arguments and counterarguments in your paper. You also need to give your reader some background information on the topic. This information should come from outside sources and your own experience with the topic. • You will make use of researched facts and the opinions of outside experts to help support and add strength to your research. However, do not let outside research "take over" your paper. The paper is yours from beginning to end, and your own discussion should appear from beginning to end. Outside research will simply add extra support to your ideas. Of course, sometimes reading research material will influence how you think about a topic and cause you to rethink any previous ideas you had about the topic. This is perfectly normal but talk to me if you have any concerns about this. Strategies: • Beginning with a research question. After you have completed your review of the literature on your topic (Preliminary sources), you will form an opinion about your topic. This might be something like, “Are advertisements a cause of the increase in eating disorders in teenagers?” The answer to your research question will be part of your thesis. It is better to begin compiling your references for the paper with a research question rather than a thesis statement. This will help you to avoid doing research that is too narrow. • Because the body of your paper will be about 8-10 pages, you need to limit and focus your topic. For example, the topic “eating disorders as a primarily female issue” would be too broad. You could limit and focus the topic on a specific type of advertisement (clothes ads, or perfume ads) and perhaps on women in their teen years. Some advice: • Doing research takes a tremendous amount of time and can be quite frustrating. This is NORMAL for everyone. GET AN EARLY START!! • Avoid changing your topic too late. While researching you may find that your topic isn’t going to work, or you may find a topic you like better. This is why it is important to start researching EARLY so you can find a topic you are truly happy with. • Be sure your topic is not too broad (e.g. “Advertising Causes Eating Disorders”). If it is, you will only grace the surface of the topic and not present a thorough paper. • Make use of prewriting strategies. Brainstorm, list, cluster, free-write - anything which will help you gather, analyze, and plan the ideas which are floating around in your head. Use some of the questions below to help: 1. Why am I interested in this topic? 2. What do I know about this topic? What have I always wondered about it? Why? 3. What disagreements do people have about this topic? Why do they disagree? 4. What's the history of this topic? How is the situation now different from the past/future? 5. Who / what are related topics? 6. What are the problems related to this topic? What are possible solutions? 7. What section of the population is affected by or particularly interested in this topic? 8. What do I still need to find out about this topic? How / where can I find it? • Talk to people! Ask other professors, students, your friends, or your family what they think about your issue. This will help you solidify your own opinion as well as discover some new points of view. • Remember that when looking for outside sources, you do not need to depend on sources which discuss your thesis exactly. In fact, much useful information will come from sources which don't do this. Think of yourself as a detective out to uncover useful information wherever you can find it. • Remember that it is not necessary to find an outside source to support every single point which you make in your paper. Some points can be made simply through reasonable argument. Outside sources are helpful, however, to support points which you think your reader may have trouble believing or accepting. • Keep track of all the reference information on your sources because you will need to include this in the research paper. You can do this by using the RefWorks system through the library webpage (discussed at the Library Demonstration) • Email me (or come see me) as soon as you have any questions/concerns! Project Steps: • Topic Proposal and preliminary references – An overview of the topic you are considering with the research you have found so far. Hard copy collected in class • Individual meeting to discuss topic. • Preliminary outline -your plan for research. • RefWorks Folder. -sources you have found in your research that you plan to use in your paper. • Research Paper Outline and Reference page – Highlighting the structure of the paper. • Individual meeting to discuss outline and sources • Final paper – Uploaded to Blackboard • Formal Presentation of Research Project -In class PPT RESEARCH PROJECT • argumentative (not informative) • must have an opinion • Specific • don’t just include a little bit of information about a lot of things. • develop fewer ideas thoroughly and completely Strategies: • Develop a question • narrow enough to have a focus • broad enough to find research • Do research early • Google AND Google Scholar • talk to people! • Library • Be a detective! Components: • Title page (Name, ENL 213, FALL 2020, Title) • Paper o Introduction (hook, background information and a thesis) o body sections (all introduced with a subtitle, explanation and support of thesis) o Conclusion (reminder of main idea, summary, and overall point - prediction, recommendation, call to action, lesson learned, results, etc…) • Reference Page (10 references/sources minimum) • (10 -15 pages total) Avoid: ● Changing your topic too late ● Creating a BROAD topic (“Advertisements cause eating disorders”) ● Including too much outside research

Social Media Causes Cyberbullying
The question of cyberbullying on social media is a matter of news. Globally, billions use social media to perform different activities: social, professional, and educational. In early social media days, only a few used social media platforms, mainly Facebook, since most current platforms did not exist a few years ago. The combination of fewer users, low-profile exposure, fewer platforms, and lesser applications made social; media an isolated presence in a much wider internet presence. If asked about social media 15 years ago, many might know what social media is. Today, however, social media has come front and center of everyday life. The scope and reach whereby social media impacts groups, businesses, and individuals are still unfolding. Given current usability patterns, social media shows a mixed bag of positive and negative effects. For current purposes, negative effects are of central interest. In addition to effects on health and relationships, social media has cyberbullying as a negative effect. In essence, cyberbullying is much similar to offline bullying, yet is performed online. In order to avoid a definition dilemma of what cyberbullying is, cyberbullying can simply be defined as exercising psychological and verbal abuse against an individual or a group of individuals in order to achieve a certain desired goal, most commonly including extortion, sexual gratification, or pure intimidation. There are many factors contributing to cyberbullying. The discussion of such factors is, however, beyond the current scope. The most salient issue at stake, for current purposes, is the negative effects social media has on users. To put matters into perspective, a closer discussion is needed of what actual and possible effects social media has on a diversity of users, particularly younger, school-age users. This section aims, accordingly, to present certain negative effects reported in peer-reviewed journals by research organizations and advocacy groups.
The emergence of social media as negative influencers of behavior is, as noted, a matter of news. Indeed, major news media increasingly report on the impact of social media on different social and racial groups, particularly school-age users, and interview industry pundits to share views and comments on growing social unease, particularly among parents, against social media. The change of status of social media from a fringe presence in early internet days into mainstream force has clouded many serious discussions about actual – and enduring – negative effects of social media. For instance, Alim (2017) identifies gaps in research on the negative impact of social media and, in doing so, extends earlier research into new areas of current usability – and, for that matter, social and cultural developments – entails. Specifically, Alim identifies more cyberbullying in school, increased personal information disclosure, peer influences, and safety of school environment for bullies and victims as new, emerging areas experienced by current user sets of social media. In contrast, earlier research, exploratory in nature, argues Alim, approaches using social media by adolescents and suggests cyberbullying as one negative effect expected of exte...
