Essay Skeleton

My topic for the essay is "Is extensive gaming leading to undesirable health issues?".

I plan to start with an intro with background information that will stand for about 20% of the essay. This section will include basic information about extensive use of computer and video games that I will find from journal articles and other relevant readings.

Afterwards, I will give a more detailed overview of the subject. This part will be about 55 % of the essay and it will contain elements such as arguments from both sides of the issue, followed my reasoned opinion. I will address the adverse impacts on younger people’s health by using the most recent papers on the subject, then see if I can find established facts about the positive effects one can get from extensive use of computer and video games. I plan to divide the research into two sections concerning physical and psychical effects of gaming.

Lastly I will give my conclusions containing key findings on the subject and the answer to the introduction question. This will be about 25 % of the essay.
