Social media has always had its pros and cons. Most of the arguments having to do with online bullying as it pertains to the younger generation. Social Media's use of persuasive language can be seen through its use of "crowdfunding" and its use of labeling. For example, the pros and cons page states that social media helps to spread hate, enables cheating on school assignments, and can facilitate inappropriate student-teacher relationships. Each of these examples seem to target children and young adults still in school. Although many people ranging in age utilize social media, the pros and cons seem to only have the safety of the younger generation in mind.
The readers comments, I feel, seem to help the level of persuasive language. Each of the comments coming from "real" people means that they are for or against these arguments. However, either for or against each comment has a certain level of language intensity and whether they feel strongly about it or not, it shows in the comments.
