Key concepts in this essay

job displacement vs. job creation; which sectors affected
human-robot relationships: can they substitute for human care? Should they?
economic productivity vs. social/ethical concerns

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Framing as purely positive (efficiency, caring for elderly) without addressing job losses or dependency concerns
Framing as purely negative (dehumanization, job loss) without acknowledging benefits (care for isolated elderly, reducing human burden in hazardous work)
Weak understanding of robot types: industrial automation differs vastly from companion robots; lumping them together weakens analysis
