Q Question Prompt for Short Essay The Covid-19 pandemic has many parents and educators deeply concerned about the amount of screen time their children are exposed to as their school, extracurricular, and social activities move to virtual and online formats. (1) What consequences could this unprecedented use of technology and access to media content have on young people’s cognitive and/or socioemotional development and behavior? (2) How can parents and educators optimize their adolescents’ media use to promote positive outcomes and minimize negative ones? For the final essay of this semester, write a brief letter (2 paragraphs) to the parents of teenagers in which you answer these two questions. You have quite a free range to answer this question, but please do avoid the temptation to look online an answer. I’m not interested in hearing from experts or pundits. Rather, I want to see if you can apply theories, concepts, and research findings explicitly from CAS 360 to this real-world issue. Place these theories, concepts, and research findings in bold so they are easy for me to see. Look at the study guide for ideas of concepts and theories we have discussed this semester. And remember, keep your answer well-aligned with adolescents (age 12-18 years), not younger children! This question is worth 5 points. Your answer should be two paragraphs long (one paragraph for each question). Evidence of plagiarism will result in an automatic 0. Please include only your original thoughts written in your own words.
