Posted Persuasive Writing

W.A.L.T... Write a Persuasive text .

During weeks five and six room six had the task to create a persuasive argument following why
cellphones should or should not be banned. I decided to take the point of view of someone who agrees
that cellphones should be banned. Throughout this experience I enjoyed researching and brainstorming
new ideas. I learnt that cellphones can cause major problems in your life. I think I need to work on
making my writing pieces longer and adding in more complex sentences.

Should Cellphones be banned in school ?

I believe that schools should ban cell Phones because of many reasons , including the fact that they can cause social  isolation and major mental health issues also the fact that cell phones can lead to decrease in academic performance and will.

Your phone can affect your learning majorly in a lot of situations. You could be stuck on social media all day and never get your work done This will cause you not to rise to the academic achievability you are capable of . If you are on your phone you will harm your brain and cause you to forget things. People are becoming more lackadaisical in their day-to-day life . If we are on our phones 24/7 we could begin to write things in acronyms instead of using proper English language. Your learning is being abused because of a hunk of metal.

Although a phone can help in emergencies , students do not need them. Teachers have phones to call emergency services and school have reinforcements to ensure nothing happens. If a family emergency happens parents can contact the school. Some people use the excuse “i’m using it to research” , but we all have chromebooks and there is Ipads on offer for research. 

This means that having phones in class is completely unnecessary. 

Now introducing the horrific side effects of your phone in class. Your hunk of metal can cause Isolation and Mental issues . Including Anxiety , Depression , and obsession and antisocialism

These are all very serious and let me tell you why. Anxiety is nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying. This can cause you to behave different and can be very serious in some people. It can push you to the brink and in some cases not make you come out of your room/house. Depression is the constant feeling of sadness and/or lost of interest in everything. You can become obsessed with your phone and with social media this will cause you to isolate yourself and be in contact only through messages. This is EXTREME obsession . Your probably thinking why is a phone included in this ? Your phones puts a lot of images in your head that your not good enough or it could make you happy. THis causes you to become obsessed and depressed. Seeing other people you think are better than you but really it’s all in your head. 

In conclusion , Cellphones should be banned as they are a distraction for learning and they can permit our tuition and restrict us from learning as much as we can . Our phone can make us all extremely unhappy.
