Leaving Cert English Higher 2014 (Essay)

Essay: Write a discursive essay in which you discuss the importance of privacy in people's lives and the challenges to privacy in the modern age.


  •                          Privacy and Technology? dangers of social media? cyber-bullying

  • Cyberbullying differs from schoolyard bullying. Teachers can't intervene on the Internet. When it happens online, there's no one to filter it. Cyberbullies don't witness their victims' reactions.














Hints: use your own ideas
           draw up your own list of quotations
             always engage in pre-writing activities (brainstorming)
               essay should be a reasonable length- three or four pages of A4 is sufficient.


The goal of a discursive essay is to present a balanced and objective examination of a subject. Like an argumentative essay, the topic may be controversial, but the discursive essay attempts to present a much more balanced discussion of the issue.
