The article i have have chosen to write my paper on is "Facing the Facebook" by Michael Bugeja. The reason I have chosen this particular article is because it is the opposing view to what I believe. Mr. Bugeja believes that Facebook is harmful and counterproductive. Personally I do not believe that facebook is addictive. I have a Facebook account and am in no way 'hooked' on it. The website is so popular because it is very easy to contact friends and find out what is going on in their lives. Bugeja claims that the website is being used in classrooms when students are supposed to be working. However, if there are computers in a classroom, its not just Facebook students will get on. Lets FACE it, barely any student loves goin to class and most will do anything to have a temporary repreive from the daily lectures. It is not a calculated disrespect to teachers, they are just tired of class and if the opportunity arises to stay awake in a boring lecture, they will take it, whether that opportunity is Facebook, texting, talking to their friends, or reading a novel.
