Write a 1000-1200 word persuasive essay on one of the topics below

1. Many are questioning the need for Daylight Saving Time in a modern economy that’s no longer based on agriculture. After examining the economic impact of changing the clocks twice per year, should Canada scrap Daylight Savings Time? If so, why? If not, why not?
2. It’s no secret that companies like Apple and Google monitor our online behaviour and share our online habits (personal data) with third parties. In fact, we often allow them access to our data when we click “Agree” when signing up with a new service, device, or app. Should big tech companies be legally permitted to collect and share our personal data? If so, why? If not, why not?
3. Are social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter destroying democracy? If so why? If not, why not?
4. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way many people (especially knowledge workers) physically do their work. Should employees be permitted to work remotely if they want to, or should a company be able to mandate that all employees work out of an office (when it’s safe to do so). If so, why? If not, why not?
5. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many people to re-examine their work-life balance. Some countries like Japan, Iceland, and Spain have been experimenting with four-day work weeks. Should Canada implement a four-day work week? If so, why? If not, why not?
6. According to the Canadian Government, Canada is one of the largest producers of fossil fuels, ranking as the sixth-biggest energy producer in the world. How can Canada fight climate change and at the same time protect the strength of their longterm economy?
7. Are you passionate about an issue? Create your own argumentative topic! Perhaps there’s a discussion question/topic from this semester that struck a chord with you, or maybe you’ve been thinking a lot about something lately (mental health, leadership, marketing strategies, politics, technology, etc.). Send me an email by Monday, November 15 by midnight at laura.scoufaris@georgebrown.ca to get my approval on the proposed topic. Essays written on topics that have not been approved by me will receive a final grade of 0.
   Reminders:
   Ensure that your final essay includes:
   • Well-integrated quotations/paraphrases from at least six pieces of secondary research (including at least one newspaper/magazine and one academic journal. Four of your sources should come from the GBC library database).
   • APA formatting.
