INTRODUCTION:
Attention Grabber Interesting fact, statistic, rhetorical question
Did you know that Twitter is an accidental social network, but even though it
accidental, the creator of twitter makes $1.55 million dollar a year but it not only
about twitter is also about all social media. Media is a double edge sword the can
make a difference or create disaster in mass proportion. If done wrong it can
disconnect to our surrounding and it can also create a distraction and can affect us
in the long run and in more of a damaging road is death.
Statement of Purpose Hello, my name is Jonathan Lopez and today I am here to
talk about the damaging road of social media.
Social media as change throughout time and it was created to talk to people
around the states, nation and even the world. For example my family never has the
money to visit their home country and thats El Salvador. But one day with the help
of Facebook my mom and dad get to communicate with their mom and dad and
also there brother and sister.
Statement of Relevance How can your audience relate to this topic?
You may ask how this relates to me. Well that a simple question with a simple
answer. just like the example i said before if some want to communicate with
someone from afar you can have their number and call or text them. But what
happen if you have none of those well just simple clicks you can find your long
lost friend. But is it really your friend. Like i said before the media is a double edge
sword that can help or hurt someone.
