Topic: ‘Is Social Networking Harmful For Students
Respected
Guest of honour, dignified people in audience, Dear friends,
The debate “is social networking harmful for the students”, is the burning
topic of the day. I will try to count its harmful effects on students. Hope you
will attest all that which I say over here.
Respected
listeners: When we talk of the students, they
have to be with books that too round the clock. In today’s cut throat
competition a student needs to study at school, go for tutioning, arrange
notes, go for extensive studies etc for making a place for himself. Thus today’s
student can ill afford to compromise with time. He has to spent sleepless
nights and burn midnight oil to carve a place for himself.
Respected
listeners: Social networking is no doubt, a
platform which brings the people of identical choices together to share their
ideas and build their own mental culture .Today’s’ facebook, twitter, Micro
blogging etc are readymade platforms for the students. They may be allured to
them quite easily, but at the cost of what? Today if you and me meet at
facebook, tomorrow we have to chat for hours together, day after tomorrow, I
will have more friend requests. With out any mention of time, my friends will
be online on different times, I will be updating my status and waiting them to
comment, then the counter comment and the thread of comments will find no end.
This all, by every means, feeds on the precious time which a student would,
otherwise, spend on books. Now we find teenagers holding their cell phones in
their hands, pressing their buttons, and updating the status for hours
together.
Respected
Listeners: Face book is the dominant social
networking site. To my Knowledge, it has done good to none. People can ill
afford to spread knowledge with it. Discussions Don’t find any roam at this
site. It ,instead, is used as a source of entertainment . Youngsters upload
photos and wait others to like them. Most of the users use false user names,
and play false with others .Fake girl accounts are rampant on facebook, and
youngsters keep on motivating them for live chats. What a mess is created on
this Platform. This all is done by the youngsters at the altar of their
precious time.
Respected
Listeners: Youngsters should refrain from
getting closer to facebook, twitter, micro blogging sites, and other chat
rooms. Doing this can save their time. This way they can also keep their
privacy intact. Facebook chatting does no good to a student, but if the same
time is spent on syllabus books, he can make a big difference. He will harness
his capabilities.
Respected
Listeners: Why does police scan facebook
accounts off and on? It is only because the law enforcing agencies know that
these social networking sites are used to spread hatred, run campaigns, and
plan crimes. Many criminals, in the past, were nabbed out by their facebook accounts.
So, why should we share this platform.
Respected
Listeners: I strongly affirm this claim that
social networking sites are, but a menace, and none can spell out its benefits,
because it has none.
