In a 1500-2000 word thesis-driven and unified essay, compose an argument in response to the<\/p>\n

following prompt:<\/div>\n
EVALUATE TO WHAT EXTENT SOME INSTITUTION IN THE UNITED STATES<\/span><\/div>\n
TODAY EFFECTIVELY EDUCATES (OR FAILS TO EDUCATE) A GROUP OF<\/span><\/div>\n
PEOPLE TO BE PREPARED TO NAVIGATE OUR CURRENT MEDIA<\/span><\/div>\n
ENVIRONMENT IN TERMS OF ACCURATELY IDENTIFYING MIS- AND<\/span><\/div>\n
DISINFORMATION. BE SURE TO DRAW ON CONCRETE EXAMPLES FROM<\/span><\/div>\n
CURRENT EVENTS AND NEWS AS SUPPORT FOR YOUR EVALUATION. MAKE<\/span><\/div>\n
SURE THAT ALL SUPPORT YOU PROVIDE STANDS UP TO THE EVIDENTIARY<\/span><\/div>\n
REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACADEMIC DISCOURSE COMMUNITY.<\/span><\/div>\n
The most obvious choice for an institution in the United States is some variation on the education<\/span><\/div>\n
system. If you choose that institution, be sure to specify which level or levels you are including.<\/span><\/div>\n
However, you\u2019re not limited to educational institutions;<\/span><\/div>\n
with prior instructor consent<\/div>\n
, you may<\/div>\n
select a different institution outside of formal educational institutions.<\/span><\/div>\n
Final drafts must also meet the following requirements:<\/span><\/div>\n
You must make use of at least three outside sources, two of which must be readings assigned by<\/span><\/div>\n
your instructor. One of your outside sources must be a news report of some kind that you use as<\/span><\/div>\n
an example to support your arguments about mis- and disinformation. You may use more source<\/span><\/div>\n
than the minimums listed above; however, essays that fail to make the minimum will have their<\/span><\/div>\n
grades penalized.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final draft must avoid all five-paragraph style pitfalls. Your thesis should be a synthesis of<\/span><\/div>\n
your main argument that both avoids lists and avoids being overly broad. Each paragraph should<\/span><\/div>\n
have a claim-based topic sentence that connects the content of that paragraph to the thesis of the<\/span><\/div>\n
essay as a whole.<\/span><\/div>\n
Citations should be MLA 9<\/span>th<\/span><\/div>\n
edition, along with the works cited (or, alternatively, the works<\/div>\n
consulted) page and overall formatting.<\/span><\/div>\n
SideNote: Chapters 1-2 from attached file below is reading from instructor.<\/div>\n
