I want you to write an essay, and I have given you the topic and thesis and the sources that should be used in the essay.
Thesis Regulating rude words and misinformation online should be social information for network users, and administrators should not be involved in this to preserve free speech and promote critical thinking.
Topic: The topic I chose is about social networks.
“Should social network administrators be responsible for regulating rude speech and misinformation online, or should users be responsible?”
This makes it possible to argue with two logical sides because
Social media companies have a responsibility to protect their users from inappropriate content and provide users with a safe online environment.
The argument on the other side is that regulation by media management can lead to censorship and stifle freedom of expression, while users should be responsible for evaluating the information they receive.
(Since you cannot access the mentioned sources, I copied them here and used them in your essay. Pay attention to the points that the teacher wrote for the essay at the end.)

With spring cleaning season coming into full swing, it’s very easy to fall into the trap of #cleantok – TikTok’s fast-growing cleaning community.
And is it any wonder? Often hacks popular on social media look like they produce amazing results – but do they all actually work?
As it turns out, some could actually be causing more hassle than they’re worth – with bad habits surfacing among the good ones.
So what should we be steering clear of, as we don our rubber gloves to prep the house and garden?
Creating a bubbling cauldron in your toilet “We have all seen those satisfying videos on TikTok whereby somebody uses 100 cleaning products in one single toilet bowl.
“Creating a rainbow fizzing display that Lush would be proud of,” says Alison MacLean, who coordinates the show homes at St. Modwen Homes.
However, as pretty as it can look, she says mixing multiple cleaning products can be very dangerous – not only to the toilet’s surfaces, but also to the person creating the concoction.
“Mixing these cleaners can result in the creation of toxic gasses which could be harmful if breathed in, so it’s safer to stick to one specific product per clean,” warns MacLean.
Mopping your walls “A common hack I see on Tik- Tok is people using their mops to clean their walls,” notes MacLean.
“Whilst this handy hack might make dusting quicker and more efficient, it could actually lead to damp and mould.”
When mopping the walls, the left-over moisture may soak into the walls, creating a perfect environment for nasties to grow and thrive, she says.
“This can be especially prevalent in new-build homes where the walls are more porous, or on wallpapered surfaces. “So, if you are looking to cut down your dusting time, it’s best to use a dry mop base rather than one loaded with moisture and products – or simply invest in an old-school feather duster!”
Using lemon juice to clean bathroom surfaces “Whenever we see hard water stains, product build-up, or rusting on our chrome bathroom surfaces, often the first hack we think of is using lemon juice to remove it,” says MacLean.
“But, this should be used with extreme caution, as the acidity of this lemony fresh hack can cause some issues.
“Lemon juice can strip away the protective coating of the chrome, leading to flaking, peeling, and even rusting – putting you in a worse position than when you started.”
When cleaning chrome, it’s best to use a gentle detergent such as vinegar or dish soap, she advises.
Using laundry pods to clean your floors “When it comes to cleaning floors, TikTok is full of hacks to get those tiles sparkling,” notes MacLean. “One of the most popular methods is dissolving a laundry pod into your mop water, and using it as a cleaner.”
As she points out, laundry pods are naturally filled with detergents and enzymes to clean clothes; they are not formulated for use elsewhere.
“The ingre- dients in laun- dry pods will leave a sticky film on your floor, which will act as a natural dust magnet once dry.
“That said, the laundry pod concoction could potentially damage your flooring, as it could be soaked up into the textile and retained, possibly resulting in mould, mildew, and damp.”
She says to stick with a traditional floor cleaner product for best results.
Using ammonia-based products to clean outdoor furniture “Wooden outdoor furniture, especially those made from acacia or eucalyptus, does require regular cleaning to ensure it stays in tip-top condition,” advises Andrew White from Harbour Lifestyle, luxury outdoor living brand.
“However, using the wrong type of detergent can wreak havoc on your wood, causing cracks to form.”
White says to avoid products which contain ammonia – including some unsuspecting household furniture polishes and multisurface cleaners – to swerve from unneces- sary damage. “Instead, use a mild dish detergent, warm water, and a cloth to regularly clean your wooden outdoor furniture – and avoid pressure washing at all costs.”

Pune: Finish a ‘thali’ of 32 non-vegetarian items within an hour and walk away wth a Rs5,000 cash prize. Or, polish off a 10kg mutton leg roast with two kg of biryani rice and get a gold chain worth Rs10,000. Gluttony was perhaps never so rewarding before with quite a few restaurants in the city taking good food and turning it into an extreme sport.
Shauryawada, a Punebrand with six outlets across the city, recently announced their Golden Thali challenge on social media, where a team of three who will finish a “thali” with a 10kg raan (mutton leg roast) and two kg biryani rice within 30 minutes will win a gold chain worth Rs 1,00,000 chain, or cash reward in the same amount.
“Such food challenges are a popular trend these days. People are excited to participate in such competitions, so we thought why not host something like this for our patrons. While the mutton raan and biryani rice are our patrons’ favourites, we also wanted to bring attention to the regional food through this competition,” said Vikas Nana Hande, owner of the citybased Shauryawada restaurant chain.
Hotel Shivraj at Punawa- le Chowk, hosting such a challenge, brought in business after heavy losses incurred during the Covid pandemic-induced lockdown in 2020. “Our Bullet Thali weighs four kg and a person must finish it in under 60 mi- nutes. Someone won this challenge in 2020 and went home with a brand new Royal Enfield bullet motorcycle. Looking at how such challenges are crowd pullers, we started another one, called Ravan Thali, in which a team of four people must finish a generous serving of 32 nonvegetarian items under one hour to win a cash prize of Rs 5000,” said Shrikant Waikar, owner of Hotel Shivraj.
Several eateries are also attracting customers by offering these challenges where the winners only get the bragging rights, and there are many takers.
Burger Barn outlets in the city have been running a similar contest, where one person who finishes a 12-inch-tall burger of 5,000 calories with six patties and loaded with coleslaw, cheese and other topping, a milkshake and a portion of fries will have their photograph put up on their wall of fame.
“It’s like a sports event — random people from other tables came and gathered around and cheered me on to finish. I managed to finish only three-fourths of the burger in 30 minutes, but everyone, including the staff, gave me an applause for my attempt,” said Dhruv Jaipuri, a BPO employee.
“The staff told me it is called the WTF burger because if you eat it on a Tuesday, you are full for the next three days — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Though the burger was delicious, and I could finish it, doing it within the time limit is difficult,” said Jaipuri.

Upload the Final Draft of the Argumentative Essay.
Make sure you follow directions:
1 Underline the thesis statement and make sure it clearly states your topic and your side of the argument. (Automatic 7 points deducted if you do not underline your thesis.)
2 Include the Works Cited in MLA format (you cannot get a grade without it).
3 Include the in-text citations in MLA format (you cannot get a grade without it).
4 You were assigned to use TWO articles from periodicals using the school databases. (Expect a serious loss of points if you only use one article. Expect the paper not to receive a ZERO if you ignored the use of databases.)
5 Proofread for errors. Now it the time for all of us to fix ALL comma splices, fragments, and run-on sentences.
6 The thesis should have NO grammatical or spelling errors; it is the most important one or two sentences of the paper. You should polish it over and over again. (Expect a deduction of 10 points if there is any grammar or spelling error in the thesis.)
7 Points off for Late Papers: 5 points off for each day late.
8 Serious points off for each and every incorrect MLA citation, be it in-text or on the Works Cited page. Note: You are allowed ONE website with your TWO articles from periodicals from the school databases. ONE website, no more. If you don’t use the schoool databases, you will receive a ZERO. If you use a website, you are required to cite it correctly. See our book or OWL Purdue or lots of other sites online. (Find out how to cite through websites online. … cite vs site vs sight)
9 If you don’t know how to create in-text citations, then you should come to our Zoom meeting or ask a librarian or get a tutor or study our book’s examples and the examples at OWL Purdue or find some other source/person to help. I expect you to cite CORRECTLY. Points off for not doing so.
10 The paper MUST be in MLA format (i.e. where to put your name, my name, class name and date… where to put the page numbers, too. Double space and indent paragraphs. See page 75 of Lessons in Writing — your paper should look like that. Automatic 10 points off for not formatting the paper according to MLA.
In text citations are last names of author(s) OR the titles of articles: e.g. (“Animal Rights”) — See that title? It is in quotes in the citation, between the parentheses.
Use our text, OWL Purdue MLA, and/or the library website for examples. Google other examples! Be proactive. Find answers. Why? I take points off for MLA errors: I expect you to be scholarly.
Most of the databases will give you a citation for the Works Cited page. Copy and paste and sometimes fix what the database gives you. How to fix? Study correct examples and see that your citations are following the format.
SEE in detail. WORK in detail.
Remember, an argumentative paper means reasonable people disagree with you. If no reasonable person disagrees with you, then you do not have an argument. (e.g. Is the following an argumentative thesis: “Child abuse is a danger to the health of the child”? It is NOT! Who in their right mind would say that “Child abuse is no danger to the health of a child”? Who would say that? No reasonable person. The above statement is a fact. A sad fact but a fact. It is not an argumentative thesis. Can you analyze your thesis???????)
