In The Death of Expertise, Tom Nichols covers several topics:  expertise in education (Chapter 3), the Internet and social media (Chapter 4), and in journalism (Chapter 5); when experts are wrong (Chapter 6) and how it affects the viability of our government (Conclusion).  Throughout all chapters, he examines the dismissal of experts in a modern, tech-driven society.  He states in the preface that in his opinion, individuals today see, “All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other” and he is concerned (x).   When every individual with an internet connection has all the answers at his or her fingertips, are experts still required in our tech-filled society?  If experts are still important, what makes them still vital in society?  If they are not, how is their knowledge now able to be replaced?  Should individuals still look to professionals (doctors, lawyers, teachers, researchers, etc.) for the answers when they are, at times, proven to be incorrect?  Where should facts and truth be found?  In your first essay,  you can choose to address these questions as a whole (the book in total) OR you can focus on analyzing and arguing on a chapter of your choosing.  You should argue either that experts are still necessary for society or that experts are no longer needed.  Make sure you support your position quotes from a minimum of four sources.
