It is becoming more and more difficult to escape the influence of the media on our lives. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in a media-rich society. Commonly, people are more dependent than ever before. There are some benefits and drawbacks that I will discuss in my essay below. There is no disputing the fact that the media make a great contribution to a convenient life.
Firstly
, the social media revolution takes communication with people around the world easier.
For example
, students learning in the USA can take a face call or send a message to their parents, friends in Vietnam.
Secondly

month,
for example
, there was wrong information that a company in Vietnam bought food from China rather than the USA.
As a result
, the consumers did not buy the food of the company, and the company went bankrupt.
In addition
, young people can pay to attract the wedding that they are not allowed to surf.
Therefore
, children may be causing harm by people who do not know. In conclusion,

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
