Question about the SAT essay?

For the most part, do you have to agree with the POV that the little paragraph before the actual question has?

For example, let’s say the little paragraph basically says the increase of technology causes moral decay of society, and the actual question asks, does technology cause moral decay of society?

Should you agree with the POV of the little paragraph and say technology does indeed cause moral decay, or can you disagree and say it does NOT?

The reason I am asking is because I feel like the little paragraph is setting the stage, so if it talked and described a little about how technology causes moral decay, it would be weird for the writer to disagree with this POV and not reference it at all in the essay.
