a review of the related literature that highlights the problems found with social media and how it impacts the workplace;
a proposed solution on how to address each problem;
a concise conclusion that wraps up and unfies the central themes
a reference page (a minimum of five (5) scholarly resources must be used. (Wikipedia and similar types of information are not valid references).  Popular resources may be used if they add important information to the paper.
