Good morning, everyone, thank you very much. Respect the director, panel of judges for the competition, teachers from the participating schools and my colleagues and participants and my dear friends and students here. I'm extremely elated to be presented with this opportunity to welcome you all to this interschool debate and singing competition being organized by Thatcher College Higher Secondary. We have been planning this to conduct such an event for the last couple of years. But with the pandemic, things were not looking very good. But I am overjoyed, in fact, that this has come to fruition this year. We have, including Thatcher College today, 10 schools participating in this interschool debate and singing competition. I am extremely grateful to the authorities, the teachers, and the participants from the different schools that are present here today for your enthusiasm and for your positive response to the competition that we are holding today. Students are the future of tomorrow. And I am proud, in fact, to say that we are providing them a platform to display their talent and, at the same time, hone their skills to make them successful and responsible citizens tomorrow. The conduct of such programs, I believe, is in concurrence with the mission of Thatcher College, that is to empower people towards lifelong excellence. I hope the experiences gained today will continue to motivate and cherish the young minds that are present here today. Once again, a very warm welcome to all of you and good luck to the participants. Thank you. We are honored to have with us this morning Sir Kulal Loren, the director of Thatcher College. I request there to kindly take the stage. Good morning, everyone.  I'd like to make sure that I take as little time as possible. The ones who will be speaking are going to be the debaters. And I'm looking forward to hearing from you rather than you listening right now. I'm sure you have listened and heard so much advice. You get it from your parents, your teachers, your friends. And you must be giving advice to yourself also every day. But the hard part is not the advice. The hard part is actually following it. If you Google anything or if you check online for anything, you can even build a rocket if you were to follow all the instructions. So doing the right thing and the way to do it, I mean, learning to build a billion-dollar business, all the instructions are right there. Passing your exams and clearing your class 11, 12, and topping it, you already know what you have to do. The problem is not the technique, the idea, or anything. The problem is that even if we know everything, we're not able to do it. That is probably the biggest challenge for the whole world. Because the best management techniques, the best educational techniques, everything is right out there for everyone now in today's world. But what we need to do is not just talk. We now need to start doing things.  It is a big responsibility. And I don't want to make you nervous, but make your school an institution proud. For all of you who are representing your institution to sing as well, there might have been 500 students, 600,000, 2,000 students from your institution, but you are the one present today. So I want to encourage each one of you. You know what it is, and I know how difficult it is, but I want you to do your best. And it's everything in life, though. It's not just about winning. It is being able to step up and act and do something. So with those few words, I'm going to do exactly what I said and not talk long. And I would like to wish each and every one of you all the very best. And I'd like to end by stating one of our taglines that is you should dream, you should think, and you should do. Good luck, everyone. Thank you. Thank you, sir, for your encouraging words. We shall start now with our debate competition. To begin with, I would like to introduce the judging panels. Dr. Jenny, the coordinator for from Mass Communication Department at Soul College. Sir Mangai Pong, assistant professor English Department at Soul College.

Participant number 11, Rosanie from Carmel Higher Secondary School will be going against the motion. So we have two rounds for debate competition. To start with the first round, I would like to highlight the rules and regulations. Each participant will be given a maximum five minutes time to speak either in favor or against the motion. A warning bell will be given after four minutes and the final bell will be given after five minutes. If the participants exceed the allocated time, then marks will be deducted at the discretion of the judges. So to start with the first round, I request the participants to take turns alternatively. First, we shall start from the motion. The second, one participant from against and third, one participant from motion. And then four against. So kindly take turns and request the participants to know your time. Okay. So we can start from the motion. I strongly stand here in favor of the topic that is social media causes more harm than growth. Also, there are tons of disadvantages of social media. According to statistics, 3.96 billion users worldwide are using social media. And considered at 4.5 billion people are using internet population. The first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about this advantage of social media is addiction. Yes, social media is very addictive. And anything which is addictive is destructive. One sweet people either his own mother just because her she was annoyed and it is social media can be. 2022. So much on posting on social media like store information we can know our daily life. I can speak about social media is that we're going about trends which were going on details and reals. There is Kiki challenge, type of challenge and all. The Kiki challenge in in Fidansi where the travel is traveling at the same time he is capturing the video. Which is extremely very dangerous and risky. Talking about the type of challenge it was something like which was also very dangerous. Health community that after this trend got viral there was 20% increase in the poisonous incidents. And social media, how can we forget the 2016 when Mark Zuckerberg was sued 1.5 million US dollars for getting 2.5 million people's information. If such a multinational company cannot be trusted how can we trust other social sites. Social media also distracts and destroys the whole world. That is what social media is all about. Thank you. Hello judges, teachers and students. My name is Elchi Tishi of grade 12 from Hope Academy and I'm proud to be speaking against the motion social media does more harm than good. There is no doubt that social media is a powerful tool today that serves various functions. Apart from its main purpose of aiding communication between people globally it also has been proven effective in marketing as well as in influencing communities. More importantly it has become very useful in saving lives. Social media is a way to enhance connectivity. It effortlessly helps us to stay in contact with family and friends from all over the world be it through a simple good morning text to video calls. I hope most of us here are fans of Dreams Unlimited. They provide us excellent satirical entertainment which in return sustains their livelihood through the so-called harmful social media. Small businesses have grown a lot thanks to social media especially during the pandemic. Top companies like Amazon, Mercedes, Benz, AG directly approach candidates through social networking sites like LinkedIn without either partly having to send a schedule in person appointments or send time consuming letters. Living in the 21st century social media helps us to go paperless which being eco-friendly and sustainable is the need of the hour. Social media has the role to empower students and teachers to use new ways of sharing information and building a community. I don't have to tell you this. You and I are products of online classes and during the past two years of the pandemic it hadn't been for social media platforms like WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Zoom, YouTube, etc. Educational institutes like ours would have crashed. In addition to our outstanding teachers social media allows us to learn from renowned experts and professionals. I'm sure you're all familiar with Bidantu and Baiju and some are even awaiting their study materials. Statistics show that 77% of teachers find digital tools helpful. 59% of schools say that students use social media for educational purposes. And that was all in 2016. So you can imagine the numbers have been accelerating ever since. Another study showed that 81% of teenagers felt that social media had a positive effect on their lives. Social media is a way to save lives not just by the 24-7 suicide prevention hotlines but by spreading awareness and motivating people. When a natural disaster strikes and causes devastating destruction social media is the ideal vehicle to deliver messages asking for worldwide support. This helps stories that begin locally to gain national or global attention. What can be better than saving a life? Is it everything else secondary? Social media is truly a powerful tool for providing access to information and giving platform to people especially the marginalized. Weep reporting is particularly problematic in India due to its cultural apathy and victim blameness. This all changed thanks to social media. The Delhi January of December 16, 2012 which came to be known as the Nidhvaya case generated widespread national and international coverage. The uproar forced the den government to act and as a result the death penalty for rape and zero FIR. Social media has emboldened victims to stand forward and demand justice. Other examples are the Black Lives Matter and hashtag need to movements. When the internet was first introduced many people were against it because it has so many pros and cons depending on how it is used. But now we cannot live without it because social media does so much more good than harm. And whether you like it or not social media is going to develop on a much greater scale. And we must, as with everything in life whether it be chocolate, carbs use it in moderation.  Thank you. Good morning to all fellow mates, dear participants, judges and to my dear comrades. My name is H.B. Bisonikiki representing Carmel High School against, speaking against social media does not have does not have sorry, social media does more harm than good. I would definitely make my objection to this statement because just because it says so doesn't prove its actual position that social media does more harm than good. I'd like to raise a question is there anyone out here not intact with social media platforms? By social media I mean WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram Twitter and so much more. You see in our society anytime a technology is introduced that brings humanity closer that helps us understand each other we hear the same question is it bad for us to reach many of the answers a yes? I agree that it is because of human intentions that the information provided to us can be taken in the worst way but if I had to argue with it I'd say that it is because of social media that the unheard voices are being heard it is because of messaging systems and emails that we educate we educate and organize and it is through social media that we are able we were able to come through the pandemic session leading us to where we are here right now right here in this moment not only about websites and contents but social media is about experiences which perhaps many of us lack you know there are so much goodness that social media gives us but we never tend to appreciate it we never tend to look to the good but instead go with the negative I'd say we change that mindset here right here inside we're building a cave people mention it that it depends on the mindset of the people you know just because social media just because people are making misusing social media there's not truth that it does more harm than it does good there are tons of good does that social media does it's just that we are affected by the negative social media but I believe that social media is definitely empowering us it is connecting billions of people here and humanity has never been more committed humanity has never been more connected through social media we why you know if we choose social media why not do something extraordinary than just be normal in our world there are lots of excuses given for social media misusing our social media but I believe that social media has definitely done tons of good to us from broadening our mindset to educational opportunities to helping us grow the system it has not only affected and broadened our mindset but it also has brought changes a good one good changes so instead of looking at the negative I'd say we see what good it done what good it did it allowed millions of people to connect and therefore we were able to be close to our loved ones thank you this is all for now next number three good morning everyone respected director panel of judges telepartist friends and to your all present here I'm Tino Saletti here from Greenwood School and today I'll be speaking on the affirmative I'd like to start by saying that I'm certainly not against social media any one of my friends or followers would tell you that I'm certainly not adverse to the semi-regular Instagram posts Facebook uploads or Snapchat stories perhaps even more importantly as a student social media allows me to effortlessly stay in contact with my friends and family living in different places more importantly still social media acts as a positive complication for many people living in developing countries but the fact of the matter is that the motion put before us today is not about the benefits of social media the motion put before us today is social media does more harm than good as a society we are constantly feeling the need to be seen by massive amount of people we are growing more and more dependent on instant gratification and in order to feel included we are forced to post, spam, tweet, snap, react or message our real human connections are being replaced by virtual relationships and the simple truth is that for the most part we are spending huge proportions of our time in the digital universe social media limits our creative imagination for instance say many of us present here have googled for help with this topic social media degrades our vocabulary skills to contain use of acronyms if we can all agree that social media is affecting us as individuals and changing the way that we behave it follows that social media is affecting the way that we interact with each other in the physical world research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine studied over 1700 people between the ages of 19 and 32 it was found that participants were spending 61 minutes per day on social media and visiting social media websites 30 times per week this research was conducted in 2014 and the numbers have been increasing steadily since that time over one quarter of the young people's survey displayed indicators of high level of depression and the people who most frequently visit social media are found to be 2.7 times more likely to develop depression than the average now the opposition might argue that this data is being procured perhaps it is people who are already depressed and turning on social media as an outlet even more troubling than the relationship between social media and depression is the relationship between social media and eating disorders in young people and I am not just talking about young girls eating disorders today is affecting people of all ages, people of all races people of all genders and people from all socio-economic backgrounds platforms like Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook are providing use with distorted images of how their bodies should look like and this is having a far-reaching mental illness on the use the mere fact that Instagram and Facebook have simple methods for reporting self-harming in societal contents is very respectable but at the same time it is also a chilling indeed of the extent of this problem so if we just take a few steps back and examine the question that we have so far looked at why is social media causing depression why is social media causing eating disorders and many other ways the answer is one that I think we all inherently know by being constantly presented with highly idolized views of our viewers' social media illicit claims of envy and inadequacy are developed by instilling in us with the often false beliefs that other people are living more successful and more fulfilling lives social media is not evil but it can very well be dishonest it presents us with a standard that is unrealistic a reality that is not reliable a world that has been filtered and altered so today I say to you all it's time to stop stalking and start stalking we can only learn more when you look someone in the eye rather than looking at their social media profile proud to propose, thank you Participant number two To you all, respected judges award your opponents and to everyone present here My name is Tanpampo and I am from Unity Christian Irish Secondary School and I strongly stand here to argue that social media does more good than harm because in this world social media has become a very important aspect of our life most of us sitting here and speaking we all have taken some ideas from social media which has helped us to speak against the motion or through the motion group so it has helped us to speak today and examples during the pandemic if it wasn't for social media we wouldn't all be here we wouldn't have reached the classes which we have reached and I think that social media is playing a very big role and we may say that it is affecting our life and it is eating our time or it is affecting our studies but I would say that it is not affecting our studies if you and I know how to use it or use our time or we are banjo, we can use it in the best way and make the best out of it for example, there are so many YouTubers Naga YouTubers like Gainsblow Jetball and many more because even if you don't do anything we can just show some eating food and all and we can become one of an influencers for young people and I think that this is also one of encouragement to everyone if you don't have anything to do I request you all to become a YouTuber in today's world, social media has become very important that it is bringing all the world together as one neighborhood because anything that happened outside in a millisecond it reaches us and it has become one of an important aspect because now through social media we began together and we can all be peace and make a better living for our world in the future I have experienced that many of our children before the age of 5, before they started going to school, they all learned ABC and all through social media and after they start going to schools it helps them and also helps the teacher in teaching them the ABC, alphabets and all so social media does not harm us but it helps us in many ways so thank you Slide information for this round the participants will be judged individually Participant number 4 can kindly take the stage Women, my name is Kehine Saab representing Tesla College and I'll be speaking for the motion on the topic Social media does more harm than good Social media can and does many detrimental problems for far too many of its users As a society we are constantly feeling the need to be seen by a massive amount of people We are growing more and more dependent on instant gratification and to feel included Social media in a sense feeling of envy and inadequacy by instilling us the idea that often falls believe that other people are living more fulfilling lives Social media is not evil but it can very well be dishonest Social media enables the spread of unreliable and false information A study published in the journal Science found that lives spread six times faster than the truth on Twitter A University of Michigan study found that even when false information is corrected, the number of people who share the correction via social media is lower than the number of people who have seen the false information The use of social media is correlated with personality and brain disorders A University of Pittsburgh study found that social media use significantly associated with increased depression among adults reaching age 19 and 32 The idea that you are missing out on certain things can impact your self-esteem trigger anxiety and feel even greater social media use Criminals use social media to commit and promote crimes 78% of burglars admitted they use Facebook, Twitter Google Street View to select victims property Social media facilitates cyberbullying According to statistics published by bullying statistics in 2015 over 25% of adolescents have been bullied repeatedly through social media Online gaming, video games build community providing a virtual form of interaction and a medium of social media Some negative impacts are social disconnection poor academic performance racism and getting stuck in life Pornographic Even though vast majority of pornographic material is posted by small core of users the adult content reaches a wider audience Facebook intentionally chose to prioritize hateful divisive sensationalist content over neutral and positive content in order to increase engagement Instagram's algorithm amplified content that promotes social comparison, body dissatisfaction decrease self-esteem and anxiety around the pressure to look perfect, particularly among girls and young women Spending too much time engaging with social media can make us feel more lonely and isolated and exacerbate mental health problems Social media is a giant paradox A paradox because by trying to make us feel more connected, it has done the opposite If that is what social media does to each and every one of us then we can come to the conclusion that social media does more harm than gay. Thank you Participant number 30 respected sir, panel of judges and my body opponents My name is Rihanna Rai from the Representing Political School and today I'll be speaking against emotion to forward by the house social media is doing more harm than benefit I shall begin I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is FaceTime I really miss it This was said by my friend who lives in a hostel in Delhi This clearly shows how social media is connecting us with the rest of the world regardless of where we live More than half of the world population 58.4% that is 4.6 billion people are on social media today They have created their own tiny world within these social platforms Social media reduces social barriers It connects people on the strength of human values not identities saved by Narendra Modi One of the most important feature and one of the most important feature of social media is its connectivity It connects people and users from all over the world at the same time Many users, specially teenagers use social media to express their emotions and feelings Basically what they're trying to do is making people aware of what's going on in their life I believe that one of the best way to convey your message and take things out of your heart it is so difficult to talk to someone about your issues in person Social media helps in spreading awareness Being the fastest means of communication social media spreads awareness information and ideas to masses within seconds For example, back in year 2020 people of India learn about the terror of COVID-19 before the first case was reported in India India is a vast country where there exists different types of people that is from different communities religion and other diverse backgrounds Social media helps in the unification of people by connecting them using the same platforms Every user can enjoy the feeling of oneness by learning and enlightening themselves about different culture tradition, religion and ideas of people We live in a world full of anxiety stress and problems Social media can act as a stress buster or a mental health reliever There are numerous cases where people find someone where people want and find someone generating positive vibes and attraction This helps people suffering from mental illness to better in life and keep moving Social media acts as a promoter for many online companies 2.4 billion people run their business on social media Last year 1.7 billion people shopped online and it is not surprising to know that 68% of these companies earn income in millions Recognition and fame is things that people want today Social media gives you enough recognition and fame It also gives you the appreciation you deserve from the masses Social media has definitely proved to be an asset in the field of education Back in year 2020 when there was complete lockdown it was these social platforms that helped us be in contact with our teachers The entire organization of community was made into a global classroom on these social platforms People in looks and corners of the world can attend online lectures delivered by resourceful people The world's best resource can be made available to all the desired people with the involvement of social media In my conclusion I would like to say that Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat have become an integral part of life These platforms give you a stage where you can share your knowledge and ideas to people and gain credibility in your field or specialism Social media leads to evolution revolution and revolution of mind and heart of people fostering information literacy and awareness in the nation With this I strongly disagree with the house that social media is doing more harm than benefit Thank you Parties spin number 5 I want to know respect the panel of judges my working partners and your material practices sisters Today I'll be spinning on behalf of Moji If I have to answer in one word Yes it's yes Social media does way more harm than work The worst thing about any social media is that these are highly effective Be it Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat their time shows you only narratives you are interested in Neuro-standard thing about beliefs and makes you vulnerable to new ideas Apart from that social media is the biggest reason for the mental health problems these days You may feel it left out by seeing pictures and videos of all the influencers out there and you may feel less of your own life Not only does it hurt your self-esteem but it can sometimes lead to anxiety and depression Students find it hard to focus on their studies for social medias However, social media's rather arguably kills your social skills and makes you isolated from real life connections with your friends and families Excessive use of social medias and more harm than work Social media comes to you to stay and I will say thank you Participant number 40 Greetings one and all present here respected judges, fellow contenders teachers and my dear classmates My name is Verilazur representing Tetsa College from class 12 and today I'll be speaking against the motion social media does more harm than work When social media comes up in a conversation what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Maybe people scrolling through the internet or posting something new It is much more than that Social media is a very very wide and complex topic It is a platform meant to connect people empower people spread awareness and gain knowledge Our perception of social media is usually confined to apps like Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat Actually, social media can be broken into six types which include social networking bookmarking, social news media sharing micro blogging and online forum sites Here's an example for each site Social marketing or media sharing Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn bookmarking sites, Pinterest Reddit, social media sites social news sites sorry, BBC, Buzzfeed news and micro blogging sites on the Twitter online forum sites like Quora and Rainbow Let's talk about the good social media has done LinkedIn, it's an employment oriented online service In 2022, job seekers with a comprehensive LinkedIn profile have a 71% higher chance of getting a job interview Apps like Instagram and YouTube are so saturated with people that false information hate comments or something you find offensive is bound to pop up So why not make use of more reliable and credible apps like LinkedIn? Second, access to learning Networking sites have been beneficial for the underprivileged by giving opportunities to learn skills take up courses and even get college degrees through a laptop and a stable internet connection Urami, Skillshare and Coursera are credible sites where one can teach and learn to Third, the hashtag me too movement This movement was started for the victims of sexual assault abuse and rape in Hollywood against producer Harvey Weinstein Over 80 women accused this man of such heinous acts over the course of his career The hashtag was tweeted more than 500,000 times by October 16, 2017 and used in more than 600 million posts in the first 24 hours on Facebook The movement has grown to be inclusive and given rise to a new hashtag hashtag him too which focus on male victims of sexual abuse and rape Social media has made fundraising and crowdfunding more efficient and faster since outreach has become easier. Organizations like KETO is India's best medical crowdfunding platform KETO has successfully had 2 lakh plus fundraisers and 55 lakh donors Social media is the most useful means for asking support during natural disasters. Through social media these stories get more coverage which results into better assistance. Indian fans of the K-pop group BTS raised around 29,000 dollars for COVID-19 relief during April 2021 People say that social media propagates insecurities I disagree. I believe insecurities are our own innate problem as humans We set unrealistic standards for both men and women and the problem is within ourselves We cannot blame a technological platform for making us feel insecure when we hold our others and ourselves to such standards Growing up outside Naland made me realize how underrepresented we Nagas are In an overpopulated and diverse country like India, marginalized communities are sidelined. For us it is very hard to be successful in the entertainment industry where victims of racism steer type against because people do not even know we exist There are some examples of successful channels and influences from Naland Dreams Unlimited, Alaba Naga and Andrea Kavichosa. Social media has done harm and there is a lot of room for improvement. However I believe it has revolutionized our way of life and brought change for the better As I end my statement, I would like to remind you that it is impossible for such a vast platform to not have done any harm, but the possibilities of doing good are endless. Thank you Participant number 6 now is that science gathers knowledge fostered in society gathers wisdom Isaac Asimov In this age, in this day and age of man, we nearly have been more connected with 4.7 billion users on the internet and 40% of our global population on social media. Our species have undergone a technological revolution in which we have witnessed at the beginning of 2010, only 15% of our population used social media and that was before the likes of Instagram and Snapchat Today, in average person spends 2 hours 7 minutes a day on social media Social media platforms are designed in such a way that they target human reactions, such as the document effect What is the document effect? So basically, the document effect makes us feel happy It's a mural transmitter that makes us feel happy as a reward of achieving things like receiving likes on our Facebook posts or Instagram posts We rely too much on people's opinions, supporting insecurities and the number of likes we receive represents how valuable we are It is ironical that everyone is connected but no one is really connecting It's like isolating yourself in a glass house where you see everything and look you're still alone Another issue of social media is that the use of filters which enables the users to produce more pleasing versions of themselves, which is not true and this raises unnecessary standards which most teenagers are many teenagers due to these insecurities today I want you to get plastic surgeries due to which surgeons appoint a term Snapchat dysmorphia Snapchat dysmorphia Another feature of social media that is affecting the utility is the like button and the viewpoints Since we are depending on the likes and the number of likes and viewpoints to determine whether we're popular or we're not popular in life people are still attentive to conclude by saying that social media does more harm than this Good morning honorable judges teachers and my fellow opponents I wait of class 12 arts representing Padkai Harris secondary school will be speaking against the motion that is social media does more harm than good Everyone today is on some social media Teenagers on TikToks Influencers on Instagram and Facebook Professionals and job seekers on LinkedIn and many more With so many facilities that social media has to offer I do not consider social media as harmful I'll tell you why Let me first state some advantages of social media Number one, communication We use social media to communicate with our friends, relatives all over the world It is not possible for us to face, talk face to face to them every time, every moment And so it is the social media that offers us the platform to communicate with them Two, learning How do we cope up with the learning in this generation Even the global pandemic that has brought to us many challenges and difficulties With social media the learning tools that were available to us we communicated with our teachers and were able to graduate from our classes Three, jobs and employment opportunities Today the educated unemployed youths are getting so many information and ideas on how to get themselves employed not only in the outside world but through the social media they are getting the chances to employ themselves The influencers such as on the platform like YouTube and Instagram influencers are influencing people and they are earning at the same time So that is how they are working and this is the productivity that social media has given to us for business The best effective platform to promote business is on social media and as well as the leaders can also communicate and tag their business partners all over the world It is next to impossible for us to meet the business partners every now and then and the virtual video meetings help us and help the people to communicate with them The last point is news and entertainment All of us receive different kind of news and all the situations even happening around us through the social media We have so many alternatives like TV, newspapers, radio but the social media is the first and easiest accessible platform to us that we get to know about the news The very fact that I am standing here today is also because of the social media Through the Dead Sock College Instagram page I came to know of this event and that is how I am present here today With so many facilities that social media has to offer we cannot go a day without social media Whether it is for communicating, learning or business social media is here to stay and it will continue to impact our lives In conclusion I would like to say that social media itself is not harmful It is only how we use it how we manage our time and how we define ourselves while using it Thank you Number 7 Hello ladies and gentlemen and judges All the staff, faculty from different schools My name is Abone and my name is Farah Pratasi Sirs I am Sukhi Adho representing on Perva Padkaya Harris School Today I stand here in front of you all presenting my views in favor of the motion Social media does more harm than good Before I begin my speech I would like to begin by saying that even in the topics it is clearly mentioned that social media does more harm than good What do we need to discuss more than that? In the topics it is clearly mentioned that social media harm more than good The first thing that is the most commanding and whatever I am coming to express I would be passing on to context and in which area we are leaking into the generation The first thing that is addiction When I say words by addiction we need a special notice people we spend too much time on social media and this person with the youngsters that is you and me spending too much time in the social media am I right? and this affected my new message notification updates are constantly checking our mind to check the social media and second the third point history anyone see detail without using Instagram Facebook and all today with the youngsters what we do we are leaking our culture we forget our culture blindly emitting to other cultures by using social media let me say this example we immediate others say just the example we use sharing here it is all because of wealth it is all from the social media because we are leaking our culture behind we don't know what is happening in our society and what is happening around you and the second point that is hell issue when social media was not here we used to go out to games with our friends but rather than that what we do youngsters that is you and me because of spending too much time on social media social media have lead us to rise in laziness both live among people resulting in several health problems such as obesity, stress and high blood pressure the third thing that is most commanding that relationship issue every individuals are now using social media has a platform for getting marriage the information provided on the social media eventually leading to divorce high dog sex relationship and even the two words and the most commanding how many youngsters that have lost their life on social media by attempting suicide and early marriage it is become our larger culture it is all because related to social media and the second about the relationship issue lack of calling them with family parents and friends when social media was not here we used to have a good bonding relationship with our friends we used to spend time speaking to one another friend members but unfortunately today because social media has been active in our process the relationship that we have with our parents about where it has come therefore a sense of loneliness and depression that is leading us on many studies among people the answer that is you and me and the last thing about the misuse hacking, scamming etc and the last the previous figure that I have told about the online classes if you think that the online class it is a negative impact then last year the college student YTF organized about the online class purchase it is not because of that right and I would like the public by saying that I feel that technology will service women interaction and the world will have a generation of idol thank you participant number 16 a very good morning and my warm greetings to everyone respect to debate moderator and assistant director faculty members and judges of panel of judges teachers and anticipating audience I Adrian Radhan from will be will be hereby HMD express my thanks for your interest in this debate event I will be speaking against the motion of the topic against the motion of the topic social media does more harm than work and by your permission I would like to begin by saying social media social media has grown tremendously in the last few years the way technology is growing the way technology is growing more and more people are going to grasp its benefits however it has both positive and negative effects in our society as I will be speaking against the motion I will I would like to emphasize on the advantages of social media with few examples it can aid in criminal investigations criminal cases like rape has even been overturned suggest when Brian Banks when Brian Banks was wrongly accused of sex leveled as sex offender had his mind had his life brewing and five years later his accuses contacted him on social media platform called Facebook and wanted to let Bygones be Bygones and thus finally his name was cleared in 2016 it exposes us to different points of view new ideas and gives us the power to research on those opinions and to have your mind open to new and shiny points of view social media social media can literally sell a person's life I would like to emphasize by saying that in 2015 a woman vacationing in Greece fell 30 feet off a cliff and ended up on a ledge she made her Facebook account public took a picture of where she was and posted it on Facebook in less than an hour a diving instructor recognized where she was and the rescue team saved her she was literally saved by social media social media helps find changes and hit specific needs of individuals websites like Kedom has raised around almost 1100 crores 1100 crores for patients who need financial support which is quite impressive it can increase your knowledge on the college level or even higher but you really want to learn the internet is always there to help social media can help achieve your own goals and support you with that to achieve your goals, encouragement and support are really important and social media can help you with that in conclusion I would like to say that social media changed our life very much our life became more convenient because of social media because it is a useful tool for us in the 21st century it could help us to improve our life however we have to be aware on how to use them and it also depends on a person's mind on how they use it for their benefits therefore therefore if you could use social media smartly having social media in our lives would be a good opportunity and a change for us and even for future generations as well thank you participant number 8 a very good morning to everyone present here honorable panel of judges teachers, students and our party opponents today I talk of HUSU representing holotary school we will be speaking for the motion that social media does more harm than good we live in an age where we seem to be more disconnected under the pretense of connection the American boy and playwright T.S. Elliott was one squatted distracted from distraction by distraction to his words we are reminded of our interaction in white arrays of platforms the big tech companies behind those social media platforms are in a rest for our attention it's an attention economy on which they drive upon that our attention that we control our attention and we have equal opportunity to choose the values and direction we want it to take and this should not be anchored on a complex set of computation I often thought it paradoxical to say a lot together a title of a book by Sherry Turkle a professor of social studies of science and technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology but as the world has moved on faster I've begun to think that it is true and that we have come to a point where we expect more from technology than from each other it laid irony for me in how Facebook remembered my birding unlike my mom did for this year and I would say that but yes it's a reminder that such companies that run platforms knows us better than the person you call friends that are sitting on their left and right and one of the best instances would be the Facebook Cambridge Analytica data scandal in the year 2010 where Facebook collected millions of user data without the consent with the British consultant firm Cambridge Analytica to establish a sophisticated model of psychological profile of each user now doesn't this raise the privacy concern but also ethical issues and it eerily resembles that of the Toletarian and dystopian novel 1984 by George Osso and now fast-forwarding 11 years from that incident in January 6th, 2021 the role-witness Washington DC get attacked by a mob of 2,000 to 2,500 people all supporting Donald Trump on his loss of the presidential elections and in that and amidst the political chaos our friends who we can proudly call friends at Meta played a crucial role in cataclyzing the whole riot through misinformation and hate speech and in that instance Facebook whistleblower Francis Holden admitted that yes, Facebook themselves had turned a blind eye on this event and that their algorithm is optimized for content that brings engagement and reaction and that their own internal research shows that content that are decisive and polarizing are easier to inspire people to anger than any other such emotions and now this is a great reminder that social media platforms have grown so large for not a single person nor an organization to control and regulate it in conclusion in conclusion, yes social media does more harm than good and that an unimaginable future holds for us if no direction is taking place to control the ever-growing rock algorithms and the endless speed of dopamine and serotonin that has disconnected us all I rest my case, thank you for the spin number 70 social media is not our enemy it is our ally it provides us with benefits which we did not live before good morning everyone, my name is Kezia I am representing St. Mary and today I stand here to present my views against the topic of social media that is more harm than good social media we are all very well aware of this topic everyone of us know sorry, everyone of us know and you are very well aware of this social media and the most important advantage that social media provides to us is education yes, education social media provides us with education there are many apps there are many social media platforms where we can get education and not only with the students but even it is very helpful for the teachers as well social media also helps to raise the voice of people, the people those who have been secluded from the society like those LGBTQs those poor and the underprivileged we all share, we all get a platform to share our opinions, our views and to raise our voice through this social media and so I greatly believe that it has been very beneficial for us to have this kind of big platform and also the best thing about social media is we get latest updates on news what's happening on the other side of the world in chess and in sense also it is a great platform for sharing our ideas, opinions social media is a platform to share our ideas, our opinions and our views on certain and particular things in social media we can connect with people we can share our views and we can also share contents and we can also consume contents which is a really good benefit for us it also increases awareness among the teams now, if there is no social media, there are many things which will not have been known about example, even the biggest example is during this Covid-19 pandemic we have all seen that sorry, sorry we have all seen that if there is no social media there will have been a drastic fall for our studies social media has through the help of social media we could take classes we could get better and also there are many people who live far away from us like our relatives and friends who live overseas from us but we can all get connected to them through social media if we ever want to talk with them we can just call them up we can just text them up it is a great platform it covers up all the distance in striking social media platforms like Twitter a single individual can sorry, in striking social media platforms like Twitter, a single individual can raise a voice against something that is going wrong and it is greatly shared and being viral and it greatly helps what I mean to say from this is that even a single voice is heard through social media yes there are a lot there are issues and there are places where social media can improve and work on there are needs for stronger privacy protections and there are this increasing globalization has been disrupting us greatly but I believe that the benefits of social media far overweighs all these disadvantages I strongly believe that social media has provided us with great platform and opportunities the opportunities available on social media are endless hence, social media does more harm sorry, social media does more good than harm in retrospect thank you participant number 9 is an escape from social media respected advisor teachers, faculty at college, esteemed panel of judges participants and fellow scholars present here today I am Murnila Longchar of grade 12 representing Hope Academy at The Interest School Debate and Singing Competition 2022 in favor of emotion, social media does more harm than good social media is undeniably one of the most powerful tool ever create, great power comes from the possibility feel ignorant about the underlying truth about social media social media is addicting, exploiting and brainwashing us into creating a superficial and unrealistic expectation beauty standard and persona it is an illustration of perfection based on our perceptions we are envious of things relationships and lifestyles that don't even exist social media is an illusion you can smile in a picture but you be in horrible pain at the same time it creates insecurity in people through its reputation of somebody just because of cyberbullying and risk of fake news in fact, you can find many examples for this in real life just think of the Karbi Anglong case which happened in the year 2018 where two innocent men were lynched by the public and beaten to death due to fake news spread on social media social media is not if not used properly can be addictive which in most cases according to recent study 210 million people are addicted to social media social media addiction precisely social media's labour is when we find happiness in the number of lives followers, views, etc we get on online it creates unnecessary hype per se trends, TikTok challenges causing people to waste more time on their phones instead of doing something productive the irony here is that we the creators are now the slaves of this manifesto that we created it has turned part of living into a part of performance good deeds should be done with good intentions not for attention we're living in an era where capturing moments using our phones is more important than actually living those moments with whoever is beside us fellow audience when was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with your parents with your loving siblings and friends it is high time for a reality check during accidents, riots, clashes we see people recording, taking photos posting it on social media instead of actually helping them our main priority has changed from saving lives to the likes and views on social media are there any good maritans left in this present generation lastly to summarise my position in this debate I would like to challenge everyone to disconnect from social media to reconnect with one another in a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers let us know the true importance of human connection thank you participant number 18 with a good campus debate a very good morning to you all respect them with a lot of changes teachers opponents, brothers and sisters I'm here representing VMI's and UCF's global school me, myself taking the last symptom of another site yes, we all know that social media has made it possible to communicate effortlessly and make friends from all over the world it's not only that but it allows us to social media has made it possible to communicate effortlessly and make friends from all over the world it is, but it also allows us to interact with people friends, followers it also enables cyber police and protectors which are the rights and view their mental and physical health cyber police has taken a talk with the LWT of the internet and multiple numbers of social media cyber bullying can take your mental emotional and social health teenagers and adults also often fall victim to cyber bullying and cyber policing online bullies and friends making an anonymous user can misuse a nosing user blackmail that can create mental scarceny and compel people to self harm in some cases second point, unrealistic view whenever you open social media apps whether it is facebook instagram or tiktok you can see dance of images both travel blogs and think how exemplary their lives are all you want is a perfect body but nobody knows what happens behind the screen of social media in order to conclude I would like to say social media addiction can lead to the cleanse of your personal life concealing addictive behavior stalking others simply promoting unhealthy behaviors five minutes time for both the teams to discuss who will speak in rebutal each team can have one rebutal speech or can have two given to the participant for the second round the first warning bell will be rigged in one minute thirty second the last bell will be after the thirty second, two minutes that will be break so refreshments will be provided for participants and the teachers so kindly stay back during the break mentioned that during the pandemic it helped us know more about the COVID-19 case but did you know that the social networking size during the pandemic they hired psychologists and hypnosis to make us when they are you see every day COVID-19 death rates but did you know that this is just to instill fear in us so they use psychology to make the people more afraid than they should be about the COVID-19 second, they talked about business how it helped businesses but while it helped businesses promote their friends to release of confidential information individuals with insight knowledge of your business might blur out your confidential information in the previous years in the earlier years before social media a letter sent to the wrong address can or even an email that ended up in the wrong inbox could be retrieved and the information is kept under wraps but with the use of social media once information is out next is they also mentioned how it helped save lives but what about the ones who have committed suicide in social media they mentioned about how we should know how to use our social media but there is also social media hires psychologists to help us get glued to our folks before the notification bell was glued but after the social media sites changed to red it increased the engagement in social networking sites when asked in an interview Bill Gates said that people asked what about your children your children will be very excited to hear about the new tablet but Bill Gates replied that my children I don't allow my children to use social media so if you think about it why do you think it is so the creators are hiding something from us there is so much more dangerous that we are not aware of thank you I would like to give a big thanks to our opponents for glorifying social media as I stand here to speak against it for those who say that it is our decision, it is our insecurities I doubt that, I highly doubt that as it shows that apps such as Snapchat are designing such a way to establish a gap in our mind to program us into opening the best example being of the feature called Snapscore we are influencing such a way that we have to maintain a Snapscore for us, for instant gratification as my friends have mentioned and it is true that there are being influenced and programmed and brand watched and internal research that lead to Wall Street Journal in year 2021 suggested that in the UK and US around 40% of those people that say that they themselves are unattractive was first came into this conclusion from the app itself and Dr. Anna Lambert a world leading specialist in addiction that in her book the dopamine nation that we are getting addicted to dopamine slowly to social media and the ever addiction a high excess of dopamine causes addiction the problem with such organizations and institutes that social media is and it will never be controlled by a single person nor regulated by anyone else and therefore misinformation will always be spread unlike that of how newspaper our traditional newspapers are that are regulated and organized by an institute that we can trust and all, thank you once again so my world view opinions they just pointed out that social media brings insecurity social media definitely brings insecurity but there are many influencers and YouTubers who talk about mental health and they help us in loving ourselves and they help us in being who we are I as a kid was always insecure about my abilities but me looking at many influencers me looking at many of my role models I have overcome that fear and now I have accepted who I am some even talk about cyberbullying and crimes well for that I believe there are many laws and there are many security availabilities that we have today there are also some people who say that social media gives social media spreads more negativity especially during the time of the pandemic but I totally disagree with that because social media is something that gives us fresh news every day and I think it's always better to look forward for a bigger truth than a false reality now when you talk about social media controlling us I once again just agree with that because social media is not something that created us we are the creators of social media and I believe if we all work together and control ourselves then social media can definitely control us lastly I would like to say that social media gives voice to a voiceless it gives it helps in raising the volume of the voiceless and it not only helps a person be a recipient but also a speaker well with that I would like to thank you and I still strongly believe that social media is doing more good than harm cyberbullying just as there are bullies in the real world there are online bullies too it's inevitable let me give you some steps to prevent it build up the person's self esteem recognize the bully by the way he or she chats report the cyberbullying to the cyber police fake news part of being a good citizen is to check the news before gullibly believing them websites like snopes and quality fact filter out fake news and spam laziness and addiction we're all smart people we can look at a calendar make a time schedule and say I'll use social media from 1 to 1.30pm and then go play badminton or study I mean that can be easily solved just because someone invites you to play a time wasting game doesn't mean you have to accept it shallow is you blaming the medium for your decision to waste your time even the point you've collected for this debate was done using social media let's fix for yourself thank you we have come to an end with the debate competition thank you to all the participants please be seated now I give time to our respected Judge Serum Bakhand hello everyone and very good morning still I believe this is our very own well I think all three of us were seated in awe and still marveling at those intelligent and smart students that are present here today a big and hurdy congratulations to each one of you all of your arguments were all on point I think it was very enriching more than us judging I think we were much educated and kudos to each one of you for that I think they all deserve a big round of applause and I thank the Tetsuo High School for organizing this event and I believe more of such event should be organized even from various other schools because such healthy conversations are needed in society we may not be able to bring in solutions right away but these are healthy nuances that we're all looking at every day in India and I would feel much I think I would say that I'm much delighted and privileged to be seated I would even not even as a judge but I would be glad to be seated even as an audience because each of your words each of your arguments were not just things that you were saying to defend yourself but you were educating the mass and that's the biggest call for this purpose and I think each of you have done an exceptional job and whoever is the winner whoever takes the glory I think the price is shared by all so thank you everyone once again thank you so we have a break now

My name is Claire Bounstra. I'm a co-founder of a technology startup called Layer. We are global market leaders in mobile augmented reality and we add a digital layer to the physical world making use of the mobile phone. After nearly three years of pioneering and learning, we have recently found our destination in the paper world. We make paper interactive and create products which solve problems for both the publishing industry, their contributors such as editors and advertisers, as well as the readers. The next generation of leaders is not guided anymore by what others think, what is socially accepted or by social conventions, but we dare to develop our own thoughts, talents, intuitions and opinions. And yes, we can and have to be pretty stubborn to break through all these social conventions. We dare to question beliefs, not only popular beliefs about how businesses or governments are run, but also we dare to question our own beliefs. In a world of constant change, we need to be able to adjust quickly and continuously. We are not driven by ego, but by impact. And we understand that great leaders cannot stand on their own, but it is rather great teams or groups that force change. And the next generation of leaders is capable of balancing life, family, work, a friend's passions, regardless of being male or female. Both mothers and fathers in our next generation are pursuing careers and doing their fair share in the household. We are facing a world which needs to change dramatically. Many primary systems simply don't work anymore. The financial system, the food supply system, energy, natural resources, economics, politics, corporate businesses, who are friends, who are enemies, who are leaders and who are followers. If we continue to live and consume the way we have done so in the past decades, things will go very wrong. So wrong that it can easily lead to new world wars and deep trouble also for the developed and western world. Knowing this, there are two ways to look at it. Or you get totally afraid into denial and try to defend everything you are currently familiar with. Helping people to change may be our biggest challenge. But there is another way to look at it. Because the need for change is so big, because deep crisis will make it absolutely clear that most old systems are broken, there is a huge opportunity for change. And our generation is capable of leading the world through this continuous change, daring to ride the waves of change. To be honest, I feel that my nomination to become a young global leader comes one year too early. With our company, we still haven't proven our business to be scalable and sustainable yet. But we are very, very close. But I do think that I already have things to give in terms of inspiration, personal growth and entrepreneurship and some experience on how to build a game changing business. But what I'd like to get out of the YGL is an amazingly inspirational network of other game changers, of peers who are on the same level of energy, passion and ambition. Yet who have completely different backgrounds and insights which I can learn a lot from and build on. I feel like I'm only getting started and I'm just so much looking forward to what the next few years will bring. The most difficult task for the coming years for me will be to choose in which area of world improvement I will put my personal effort. But time will tell, I hope.


the best careers for introverts. So this is what we're going to be talking about today, but before we do that, make sure to gently tap the like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm. On this channel, we talk about personal finance, college degrees, and career opportunities that will lead you to success. And we also talk about avoiding the common financial traps that so many people fall for. If that sounds like something that interests you, then go ahead and hit the subscribe button, ring the notification bell in order to see more content just like this. Now let's jump right into it with the first one on the list. It's going to be number 10, which is entrepreneur. Now I have something to admit to you guys, okay? I put this one as number one for the best careers for extroverts. And I realized that I did a disservice to my introvert homies out there because I realized that introverts can do cool sh** too, okay? I'm an introvert and I'm living proof that you can grow a tiny YouTube channel as an introvert. That's right. First one on the list. I've got two words for you. Entrepreneurship. Now this one was the top career for the list of the best careers for extroverts. And I was thinking of myself, I don't want to put the same career on both lists, but there's some types of careers, sometimes the jobs out there where there's so vast, like there's so many different examples of things you can do that they really do fall under both categories. And entrepreneurship is one of them. It really depends on what type of business or industry that you're trying to go into. And actually, I think that introverts have a lot of advantages over extroverts when it comes to entrepreneurship in some ways. First of all, as glamorous as movies and pop culture tries to make entrepreneurship, the reality of it is a lot of it is just going to be endless hours of grinding. So let's see what the internet's favorite meme lord slash super entrepreneur Elon Musk has to say about being an entrepreneur. It's like eating glass and staring at the abyss. The truth is introverts get energized by being alone and extroverts get energized by being around other people. That's the main distinction between the two extroverts tend to get lonely much more easily and that's not as much of an issue for introverts. So the endless hours of grinding that it takes to both start as well as run a business, which much of the time businesses are started by just one person. So you're just going to be working alone a lot of the time is not going to be nearly as bad for an introvert as it is for an extrovert. The only thing I grind is my workload on top of that they can hyper focus for extended periods of time just because of the fact that they don't have to be around other people. The grind is real. Elon Musk has a MBTI or Myers-Briggs personality test of INTJ, which means he is an introvert. Now I think introverts can do really well as entrepreneurs, especially if they're starting a business in the right industry. And that my friends, it's how you become a successful entrepreneur. So number nine on the list is going to be a marketer. Marketers are going to be someone who advertise or promote a product to a large audience and they make around $63,000 a year. There's 738,000 jobs available and it's growing at 18%, which is very good. So marketers are going to use a lot of the same skills that you would use as a salesman, but you're going to do it on more of a broad and scalable level. So a salesman, for instance, can only make so many sales in a day. I mean, you can only talk to so many people in a single day. But as a marketer, you can write ad copy or you could make a marketing video that millions and millions of people could see if you have the ad budget for it in a day. It's pretty much unlimited. Now a lot of marketers are going to start off as sales people and then they're going to move into marketing later on in their career. Now, again, you don't have to be an introvert to be a good marketer, but I have noticed that many marketers that are really good are introverts. Now I know some people in the comments are going to be like, Shane, introverts can be great salesman too. Why are you saying this? I know, I know, I know. Okay, I'm an introvert. I get it. I've done sales since I was a teenager and I was pretty decent at it. You can definitely be a successful salesman as an introvert. In fact, I think there's some types of sales jobs that introverts might even do better in. But just generally speaking, one thing that I've noticed is a lot of the top salesmen out there tend to be extroverts and a lot of the top marketers out there tend to be a little bit more on the introverted side. Marketers are a little bit more focused on the numbers and making small changes here and there. And generally speaking, they're going to spend less time around people that they don't know. But that's just my opinion. Number eight on the list is going to be medical doctors. And yes, this is another one where I included it on the list of the best careers for extroverts. There are so many different types of specialties that you can go into if you become a physician or a medical doctor. And there are specialties out there that are going to be a little bit better for extroverts and some are going to be a little bit better for introverts. So physicians, according to BLS, they make over $208,000 a year, which is kind of non-specific. There's tons of jobs available. It's growing pretty fast. Physician overall is a pretty good career. I made a whole video about it where I talked about how I think it's a little bit overrated. But if you know what you're getting yourself into, it can be a really good career. Now, some of the specialties that do really well for people who are introverted are going to be things like radiologists, psychiatrists, pathologists, anesthesiologists would be a good one. And actually, some types of surgeons do pretty well as introverts as well. So for instance, let's talk about the surgeons. On average, a surgeon will make around $395,000 a year, but it really depends on what specialty you do. It ranges all the way, generally speaking, from like $180,000 a year to some specialties make around $600,000 plus dollars every single year as a medical doctor. And again, it depends on which specialty you do, what residencies you do, etc. A lot of the time, psychiatrists are very self-reflective. They're introverted. They have good people skills, but generally speaking, that's on a one-on-one level, or maybe them talking to two different people. They're not going to be having to talk to an entire group of people, usually. Same with pathologists, of course. They study different diseases and injuries. And when somebody dies, they're the ones who generally will do the autopsy. So I just wanted to put this one in there just because of the fact that I realized that doctors, a lot of the time, they have to be extroverted just because they're constantly communicating with different people. They're constantly going to be meeting new people, but there are some types of physician specialties where you don't really have to be all that extroverted.  You're not going to have to meet new people all the time. It's not going to be draining your energy like crazy. Number seven on the list is going to be actuary. So generally speaking, actuaries will take a bunch of numbers and statistics, analyze them in order to determine the risk as well as the premiums for insurance. According to BLS, actuaries make around $108,000 a year. There's 27,000 jobs available and the job outlook is about 18%, which is really, really good. So actuary is a career where you're likely going to either work for an insurance company or the second really common path is you're going to work as a consultant. With an insurance company, you'll make pretty good money. You're going to have pretty good job satisfaction. Now one thing about being an actuary is there is a ton of tests that you have to take. And most of the time when you pass those tests, you're going to be making a little bit more money. So that's a good thing in some ways, but these tests are actually extremely difficult. Over 50% of the people who take them generally do not pass. So they're designed to be unbelievably difficult. And it seems like there's just an endless amount of tests that you have to pass. So it's almost like going back to school all over again, you're going to have your normal, you know, 40 hours a week job, and then you're going to be studying for these tests pretty much constantly. That's great if you're somebody that constantly wants to be learning and you really like studying. But it can be really annoying for somebody who kind of just wants to live a normal life. Consulting on the other hand is more about knowing what you're doing in a very niche subject. This one is going to be a little bit more social. So it might not be as good for introverts. You're going to be interacting with a ton of people. You're going to be talking to clients. But basically what you are is a knowledge salesman. That's just the easiest way to put it. Your clients are generally going to be people from really big companies who have a lot of money, and they want you to solve a very specific problem for them, or they want you to analyze some data or present data that you already have for them. Number six on the list is going to be software development. Hmm, this one keeps on popping up on like every list I do. Also known as a coder, this is going to be someone who's going to create software for computers. Now software developers on average, according to BLS, are going to make $107,000 a year. There's 1.4 million jobs available, and it's growing at 22%, which is insane. This is one of the best possible careers out there. And I can only see it getting better in the future. There's no way this one's going to be automated. In fact, you're going to be the person who's automating things. This is one of my highest recommended careers, whether you're going at it from the aspect of getting a college degree, like a computer science degree, and then going into software development, or if you're somebody who maybe got a degree that is like math related or something like that, and you're not really liking your job, you can move into software development, or if you're somebody who has no experience at all, you can still learn this stuff and then, you know, get an entry level job work your way up pretty much no matter what position you're in. This is a really good career to get into.  Many of them will have limited contact with other people throughout the day. And generally, you're going to talk with your team through an app like Slack or something along those lines. And the people that you do talk to are probably going to be people that you interact with all the time. So you're not going to have to go and meet new people, you know, every single day, it'll be a pretty rare occurrence. And many of them, especially nowadays with the current pandemic that's happening, do a lot of remote coding. And so they don't even have to go into an office, they're basically just coding from home. Sure, many of them will be working in an office setting where maybe you're around other people quite a bit, but they're not going to have to be like a salesman, for instance, where you're constantly meeting new people.  That's what really makes me tired. Now, one thing about introverts is a lot of the time they're actually really good at communicating, just they don't want to have to do it face to face, they prefer to do it at a distance. And then another thing that I've noticed is people who are introverted don't necessarily have to have as much human contact because of the fact that they get energy just by being alone. And so they're a little bit better in many cases at just grinding away for hours, you know, doing something like a coding bench. Number five on the list is going to be truck drivers. This is a person who earns a living driving trucks and this could be all kinds of different trucks, but a lot of the time it's going to be semis. Now, this is a job where you can do a lot of different things, you know, some people are going to be driving huge loads all the way across the country. Others are just going to be driving the trucks around locally so that they can get home to their families every night. Some own their own truck and they're basically like contractors. They tend to make a little bit more money. Others are going to work for a big company who already has trucks. There's a ton of different variations here, but in my opinion, this is one of the better careers that you can get into with very little training. Now, according to BLS, the average truck driver is going to make around $45,000 a year. There's 2 million jobs available and it's growing at 2%, which is a little bit slower than average. Now, I happen to think that these numbers are pretty low just because of the fact that a lot of drivers just do part-time, you know, they'll do it during part of the year and then the other part of the year they do something else. I'm not sure how they did their methodology on this, but just from personal experience, knowing people who drive trucks, we're talking like the big semis, they make a lot more than $45,000 a year. Now, the cool thing about driving a truck, driving a semi, is you can basically get trained in like a month or two and you're good to go. Now, like I said before, there's tons of different types of trucks out there. You've got dry van, refrigerator van, tankers that hold gas, flatbed, dump truck drivers. There's all kinds of different options out there and the pay is going to vary based on which one you do. Now, in order to make really good money as a truck driver, and this is similar to just about any career out there, you look at doctors for instance, you look at pharmacists, you look at engineers, business people, just about any career out there. In order to make more money, you want to specialize in something. Okay, specialists tend to make more money. They tend to have better job satisfaction and just be overall happier than generalists. Now, one thing about truck driving that really isn't mentioned all that much is it can be especially good for you if you're young and single. Now, of course, the obvious reason for this is that if you have a family and you're truck driving all the way across the country, you're probably not going to be able to see them very often. But a not so obvious reason is the fact that if you're not living with anyone else, if you're single, you can actually just live in the truck. You don't necessarily have to pay rent or buy a car. You can just live in the truck. That's a huge cost savings because rent and vehicle expenses are generally going to be your two biggest expenses in your life. So if you're young, you don't have too many obligations. What you can do is you can become a truck driver, specialize in something, and you can be making over $80,000 a year, just a few years after high school. And that's $80,000 that you can pretty much just bank. You don't have to worry about paying $1,000 for rent or $300 a month on a car payment. You get to bank most of that money. This is a great career for introverts as well, just because of the fact that you're probably going to be spending a lot of time just by yourself driving down the highway. Number four on the list is going to be an IT manager. So IT managers are going to take care of all the information technology needs within a business generally. So one career they could get into would be a computer and information systems manager. They make around $146,000 a year. There's 461,000 jobs available, and it's growing at 10%, which is really good. So I talked about in the extrovert video how becoming a manager is going to be a great position for extroverts to get into. And I realized that again, that's not really fair because in many cases introverts can make good managers as well. Sure, I think most managers are going to be more on the extroverted side. This is a good example of a position where you can be an introvert and be a very effective manager as well. A lot of IT guys are going to spend most of the day working with technology. They're not going to have too much human interaction. They'll probably interact with the other IT guys. They're going to answer the phone once in a while, but they're not going to be meeting new people all the time. IT managers are going to have a little bit more human interaction than your average IT guy. However, the most important thing about being an IT manager is your technical expertise. Now I'm not going to sugarcoat it.  But overall, geeks aren't that hard to work with if you know what you're doing. Too much communication is generally not going to be that much of a problem. If anything, you'll want to encourage them to communicate more. Number three on the list is going to be accountant. Accountants are going to be the people that prepare and examine all kinds of different financial records anywhere from taxes to basically just running the books on a business. Now according to BLS, accountants and auditors make around $71,000 a year. There's 1.4 million jobs available and it's growing at 4%, which is about average. Now this is a very common job out there and because of that, there's going to be a ton of different types of accounts. Now with most accounting jobs, there's obviously going to be a lot of number crunching, of course. And when most people think of accounting, they probably think of excel sheets and taxes, but there's actually a lot more to it than that. There's a ton of different specialties within accounting and there's jobs out there for accountants in just about every industry and every business. Basically everywhere you look, there's going to be jobs for accountants. So if you go into accounting, you get tired of staring at an excel sheet, you can do a ton of different things. In the same vein, professions like this, where there's a ton of different options out there, I tend to like these just because of the fact that like, let's say you made a really good plan, you knew what you were getting into, but then, you know, you get a few years into it and you're like, you know what, I don't really like this that much. I thought I was going to like it, but for some reason, it's just not for me. Well, if you're an accountant, for instance, there are so many different options that you can go into. Now a lot of accountants will start off working for one of the big four accounting firms and they're going to specialize in something and move towards that. Another great thing about accounting is it's very flexible. So let's say that you want to move up the chain in a company, you want to try to become the CEO. Well, guess what? There's a lot of examples of accountants that move all the way up to executive positions. Accounting is also one of the degrees that has created the most millionaires. I did the video where I talked about careers and degrees that create the most millionaires or lead to people becoming millionaires. Accounting was one of the highest ones on that list. If you go the tax route, for instance, a lot of the time accounting will be very seasonal, where you're going to be extremely busy six months out of the year, and then the other six months aren't going to be that bad. Let's say you absolutely hate number crunching, you never want to look at an Excel sheet, you never want to look at taxes again. Guess what? You can move into becoming like a recruiter or something like that. Just because of the fact that there's so many people out there that do accounting, you could go to one of the big four firms and you could become an accountant recruiter. I think you guys get the idea, very flexible career. It doesn't matter whether you're an introvert, an extrovert, you're going to find something within the career that works for you. Number two on the list is going to be data scientist. Now this is one that a lot of people in my comments section always talk about. They wanted me to talk about data scientists more and I'll probably make an entire video on it at some point in the future.  They can use that data in such a way that they will help businesses to make good business decisions that will lead to them being more successful and making more money. So one example of a data scientist related career that you could go into would be a computer and information research scientist. They make around $122,000 a year, there's 32,000 jobs available and it's growing at 15% which is much faster than average. So data science is very similar to software development but there's going to be more of an emphasis on business as well as math and statistics. This is usually going to be data that has something to do with either sales or marketing. This is another subject, another career that combines business skills with technology skills which is always a killer combination. Now number one on the list and this is a relatively new development since this amazing pandemic that we're all experiencing right now. Number one is going to be the remote version of your current job. With the current situation that's happening right now throughout the entire world, it's become more and more obvious that a lot of people can do the same job that they used to do in the office from home. For this reason, I predict that even after the pandemic is open, it's going to be more and more common to see people doing their jobs that they used to do in the office remotely. Now some of them will do the job completely remotely like they'll pretty much never go into the office. You can basically like travel around the world for instance. Others will do it partially remotely where maybe you go into the office two, three days a week and then you're at home two or three days a week. Now you would be really surprised at how many different remote opportunities are out there especially after all this stuff happened. You might think that there's no way my current job can be done remotely. So let's take pharmacy for instance. I'm a pharmacist. What people picture in their head like the average person when they see a pharmacist is someone who is in a grocery store who gives them their antibiotics. No way they could do that remotely right? They have to be there to counsel the patient. They've got to make sure that the right stuff is in the bottle and all that right? Actually there are a ton of opportunities to work remotely in pharmacy. The clinical and the data verification side of pharmacy can actually be done remotely and that's in retail of course but also in hospitals and different clinical settings. So sure you'd probably have to change up your career a little bit. You might be able to do a slightly different career within the same company or maybe you have to move to a slightly different specialty. Something along those lines within the same company or maybe within the same industry but the big point here is there are a lot of opportunities for remote jobs and I think it's going to be even more common in the future.

I just started a free week detox diet. But why exactly? Well, let's find out. Hey, what's up, Greg here, the founder of your inception. Welcome to my channel. If you want to achieve limitless performance, then subscribe below to start a journey. So guys, in the past few weeks, I had certain issues with my energy levels. My energy levels were kind of up and down all the time. I had certain crashes during the day. Sometimes I woke up not completely energized and regenerated. So I knew something is going on. So I was thinking, you know, maybe now is the time of the year to do a full three week detox diet, because I generally do such diets once a year, but I kind of forgot to do it last year. You know, the time was, it was very hectic back then. So I, you know, it just kind of, I forgot about it honestly. And now I figured out all the mood swings that I have during the day with all the small issues that I kind of feel and experienced every single day. I kind of figure out now is a good time to do a full detox diet. Now, just recently, I did a whole caffeine detox, which you can read and check more about here somewhere up there. But it kind of wasn't enough. It helped a bit, but kind of wasn't enough. So let me quickly share why it's very important to do a detox diet once a year, what are the benefits, how to do it, and so on. And by the way, guys, let me know, have you ever done a detox diet? Let me know in the comment section below. So the most important reason for doing a detox diet is because you, by doing it, you clean your gut and by doing, by cleaning your gut, you clean your whole body basically. So you get rid of all toxins, you get rid of bacteria like the bad one, you get rid of fungi, you get rid of viruses, you get rid of other stuff like yeast and everything else that can cause issues in your gut and kind of degrade your immune system. But how do you see that have certain issues in your gut? Well, if you usually feel less energized, if you usually kind of focus, if you kind of feel like you have those mood swings that I talked about at the beginning, and that your immune system is often not on a very high level, then you probably have certain issues with your gut and most likely a whole detox diet would help. Now, in the past years, I've done many detox diets. I've read a lot of books on that, you know, the Klinga, this one, the Swiss Secret is very good. There's just two of them. I've read a lot of research how to do it in the best way. And, you know, trying it out, optimizing the whole process. Now, my process is very easy to follow, not too complex. Usually, when you do a full detox diet, you kind of have a huge crash after a couple of days. Now, I've been in the diet now for a couple of days. It's the fourth day today. I don't, you know, I didn't experience any crashes yet. So I don't think it's going to happen. So, you know, if you do a detox diet properly, of course, you will need a couple of days, or your body will need a couple of days to kind of restore, to kind of start operating again.  It shouldn't be too difficult to follow. But what's, you know, the usual process of a detox diet? Well, first of all, you need to get rid of all toxic foods, which are kind of causing the problems in your gut, or, you know, you kind of, by, you know, eating the wrong foods, you kind of make a huge mess in your gut. This means you get rid of gluten, dairy, you get rid of processed meats, you get rid of, you know, big fish, which has a lot of toxins, and you get rid of all alcohol, all sugar, if possible. Most fruits that have very high glycanic index, beans, rice, soy, and a whole bunch of other foods that are, you know, you probably shouldn't eat in this three week detox period. Now, of course, different experts recommend different things. So it's basically, you know, it's hard to say which one is the best detox diet out there, but most experts agree on the majority of stuff I just mentioned. So then it's basically you need to kind of a fine tune the whole process and, you know, choose the best foods that, and the worst foods that you definitely want to avoid. Now, the second step in the process is that you need to, you know, add certain nutrients back to your body with eating the right foods.  Of course, you can use certain supplements. Some experts recommend them, some don't. I do recommend taking certain supplements, but, you know, it's a new to this side. Then, of course, you need to add good bacteria back to your body. And you do that, the easiest way to do it is by either eating, you know, certain foods such as, you know, kimchi, for example, or zara crowd, or on the other hand, you can also take a probiotic supplement. And last but not least, you need to repair the intestinal wall, which is, you know, the wall that, you know, kind of a, that's where, you know, the cause of all problem is basically, and you can do that by taking specific supplements that can speed up the process of regeneration.   So that's so much about the detox diet. If you want to know how I do my detox diet, if you want to see the results, I'll publish another video very soon. You can check it out. I'll share my results, you know, what happened, the whole process. And if you want to know my step by step process, just let me know. I'm thinking of making a whole program, because I figured out that, you know, if you combine, you know, the aspects, different aspects of different detox diets together with certain elements of a longevity diet, basically. And then you get the best of both worlds, and it's really sustainable. And you get amazing benefits. So, so much about this. Thank you for watching, guys. If you have any questions, let me know in the comment section below. And I hope to see you soon. Take care.
