Week 21: Internet Tracking

Most people do not realize that they are being watched on the internet. There are companies that track every single thing everyone does online, and they could find any bit of information that they want about anyone they chose. 

That is something that would most definitely scare the majority of internet users. There are articles about internet tracking and why it can be a little useful, yet an invasion of privacy. That means that it is a known fact that internet tracking is very real. 

Throughout this week, we looked at a couple different articles on internet tracking and what it really is. Each of us formed an argument as to whether internet tracking should be allowed or not. We went through each article looking at evidence to support our claims. A debate was held between the ones for and against internet tracking. The debate activity allowed us to see both sides to the argument, which then forced us to make a comeback to really back up our claim.

That strengthened our skills with counter arguments. Seeing what the other side had to say about the subject of internet tracking gave us an idea of what some counter arguments might be, which could help us with a paper about internet tracking. The debate definitely helped us to figure out how to support our claim. It forced us to come up with information that would back up our claim in a short amount of time. If we were able to come up with reasons as to why our claim was better in a very short amount of time, we would definitely be able to include some good information in our writings.
