isolates us and encourages people not to socialize. To what extent do you agree or disagree with these
statements? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience." Check the Final Sentence for the Introduction: The final sentence of the introduction should
set the stage for the upcoming paragraphs. Let's consider a revised final sentence: "Let us explore the
arguments for and against the impact of the internet on human connectivity."
