With the ever increasing distractions in
the modern world, it is becoming ever harder to remain focused. Problems with
concentration are becoming endemic in the modern world and they are a big handicap
so how is one to deal with the issue? Before you do your research, test
yourself to find out if you have issues with concentration too. When you are
done, do your research and write a problem solution essay.
Note to the student: this is a relatively easy research
related reading into writing activity. It is suggested that you spread your
research out over three days reading two texts and watching one video each day.
