WPE at Cal State Long Beach question [3]
Sarah,
Thank you for your response. Your reply makes me feel a little bit better. The results won't be in for up to six weeks, so your support is appreciated.
I also appreciate your correction of the use of extend/extent. I always mix them up :(
Sincerely,
Brad

WPE at Cal State Long Beach question [3]
Hello,
I just took the WPE at Cal State Long Beach. English is my second language.
We were ask "to what extend do you agree or disagree" with a statement previously given (recent advances in communication technology may discourage personal communications and people skills).
I said that while I somehow agree with the statement, at the same time one can find many reasons against it. I proceeded by giving several (three) examples in each side and concluded that we cannot categorize the advances as being "good" or "bad"; they are just tools that can be used either way.
Was I wrong in taking both sides? Should have I focused in only one side of the argument and forget about the other?
Thank you,
Brad
