Example<\/h3>\r\nFIRST STOREY:<\/strong> Occupy Wall Street\u2019s Facebook page showcases that users of the page have a difficult and often frustrating time discussing, and perhaps linking, global events to events and concerns that are more local, and perhaps personal, to them. This is demonstrated by the comments under the post \u201cFrom #Ferguson to #Gaza #BLM,\u201d wherein discussion of the event leads to participants calling each other names like \u201cidiots\u201d and angry confusion over how the Black Lives Matters is related to the Middle East (ex. The post \u201cWhat the hell does BLM have to do with geopolitics in the Middle East?\u201d).\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nOur first storey has provided us with the key evidence we will be examining in our argumentative essay. As in the close reading, our essay should be evidence-based, which means we must examine this material as closely as we did the article we analyzed earlier in the course. Dedicate some paragraphs to exploring the evidence closely. The beginning of our essay\u2019s body might look something like this:\r\n

Paragraph 1<\/strong>: Examine and discuss the comments in terms of their statistical make-up (i.e., what proportion of the comments are dedicated to local problems, and what might that tell us?).<\/p>\r\n

Paragraphs 2 & 3<\/strong>: Examine and discuss particular key comments (those related, in this case, to the name calling or questions\/confusion linking Black Lives Matter to the Middle East) in terms of their specific content and phrasing.<\/p>\r\n

Paragraph 4<\/strong>: In contrast to the comments discussed above, examine the elements in the comments section that break away\u2014or appear to try to break away\u2014from local concerns in order to deal with larger implications.<\/p>\r\n

Research-Related Considerations<\/strong>: Examine and discuss the evidence above in terms of external research on the larger problem you are exploring.<\/p>\r\nWhen we return to the concept of research in the next section, we will discuss some of the things we might do with it. Maybe it will get a dedicated paragraph of its own. Maybe it will be spread throughout the three paragraphs. However, for now, remember that we must ultimately look at our evidence in terms of supporting material. This material will not pull us away from our examination of our evidence; it will give us insight into the evidence we are discussing.","rendered":"
