"A shocking two-thirds of Americans believe that robots will, in the very near future, perform most of the work done by humans; however, 80% also think that their jobs will not be affected. Consider why Americans should or should not be concerned. Write 4-5 pages exploring at least three reasons why Americans will or will not likely be displaced by machines and what positive or negative impacts expanding automation promises for these workers. Help the reader understand the specific causes and effects that you have identified. Develop your argument with expert sources and evidence appropriate for an academic setting.

Your essay should:
- include a thesis statement, clearly expressing a purpose and written for a specific audience of readers;
- use supporting paragraphs that use appropriate, specific, and convincing evidence within a text to expand upon the thesis statement;
- have unified and organized supporting paragraphs;
- use transitions within the writing to achieve coherence and focus;
- contain sentences that are clear, precise, and grammatically correct."
