News, Speeches and Panel Discussions as Sources of Information
Background Information for Learners

What we know about something is a combination of our opinion and what we hear from
outside sources like news, conferences and speeches. This worksheet will enable you to use
information from outside sources in your everyday conversation with others. Speaking and
writing can be both compared to pulling the trigger of a gun. If you are not loaded, nothing
happens.
Learning Competency with Code: Using information from news reports, speeches,
informative talks, panel discussions, etc in everyday conversations and exchange (EN10LC-Ia-
11.1)

Activity 1

of the speech to help you accomplish the next tasks.
Informative Speech on Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is defined as a version of bullying perpetrated through information and

communication technology channels like the internet, emails, mobile phone and the latest trend, social
media platforms like Facebook (Kowalski et al. 2012). Cyber-bullying is an emerging and fast-growing
pattern, which experts contend is more harmful than the traditional form of bullying. In the country,
almost all people can be contacted 24/7 through their mobile phones or the internet. Victims could be
reached anywhere and at any time. As for the kids, home is no more a refuge from the perpetrators. It is
easy for children to escape abuse and threats in the classroom; however, they are likely to find emails and
text messages from the same tormentors when they get home.
Cyberbullying is perpetrated across numerous mediums and avenues in the cyberspace (Kowalski
et al. 2012). Therefore, it is not a surprise that it often happens where teenagers congregate. Previously,
most youths used to hang out in chat rooms; today, this is where most tormenting occurs. Recently, these
teenagers have been drawn to social networking platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and
video sharing channels like YouTube. This pattern has spurred increased reports of cyberbullying
happening in these environments (Kowalski et al. 2012). Textual chat, voice chat, texting via tablets and
phones also offer another environment in which harm and hate are expressed. We can also see it happen
in newer interactive apps such as Whisper, Yik Yak, and Secret.
Numerous factors motivate perpetrators of cyber-bullying. Revenge motivates some people to
engage in cyberbullying. As a victim of cyberbullying, one tends to think that tormenting others is natural
because some individuals deserve to be harassed (Kowalski et al. 2012). Some report that they would start
to pursue new targets which seem to be weaker than them. This is because they believe that bullying,
occasionally, is never enough. Others engage in cyberbullying to boost their ego (Kowalski et al. 2012).
Simply, these people harass others to please themselves and their friends who are often not scared
because they believe they cannot be caught. Some people are seeking for attention. It is believed that such
people did not get attention from their family while some suffer from family conflicts. Therefore, such
people tend to starve for recognition of being powerful figures.
Cyberbullying affects individuals from all lifestyles and any age including adults, teens, and
children; they all feel alone and distressed when being harassed online (Kowalski et al. 2012). This
behavior can make one feel completely overwhelmed and embarrassed from what they are undergoing
during such encounters. It worsens when there is no support for the bullied person. For children, they may
feel uncomfortable to confide in their parents or adults because they feel ashamed and think they will be
ignored, judged and barred from accessing information technologies such as their phones. For almost all
victims, cyberbullying affects their daily lives and is a continued source of worry and distress. With the
wide availability of mobile technologies, cyberbullying is an ongoing problem and seems to be relentless.
Besides proceeding after school, university and work, it tends to carry through into the next day and this
cycle continues. Statistics reveal that cyberbullying can result in tragic events such as self-harm and
suicide, so it is important to institute measures to protect the vulnerable adults and children from
cyberbullying (Kowalski et al. 2012).
Cyberbullying poses an immense danger to society. It harms individuals and adversely
affects both the victim and the bully. It is well documented that cyberbullying is a serious global problem
and must be addressed.

It is something that anybody can experience. Most of the people will think that the perpetrated or
the perpetrator is to be blamed but it really roots with the surroundings and environment of the
perpetrator.

There are many different ways to bully someone in the cyber-space such as through comments,
emails, posts, and also indirect messages.

In my perspective, online bullying could get worse than physical bullying when it comes to the
point that the perpetrated tries to self-harm or commit suicide.
4. When did you first hear about cyberbullying?
I first heard about cyber-bullying when I was in elementary.

I’ll try to shrug it off at first but if the cyber bullying worsens, I’ll report it immediately to my
parents or to who ever needs to know what the bullies are doing.

I think cyber-bullies bully other people online because they can victimize more people and get a
lot of attention from the people in the cyber space.

For me it is a serious dilemma especially for this generation in which people are more vulnerable
and their emotions are being controlled by the cyber world.
8. What can people do to stop cyberbullying?
Spread awareness of what it could possibly lead to, stop victim blaming, never convince a cyber-
bully, and if you ever know someone who is a bully try to correct them instead of rebuking them.
9. Do internet companies and mobile companies have a duty to stop cyberbullying?
I think somehow, yes because their products and/or software should have restrictions and it’s
their responsibility to monitor the actions of the accounts registered to them.

shop” for entertainment, communication, and sharing of information with others.
Janna: You’re wrong. Facebook is harmful and destructive. It actually promotes too much liberal
inaccurate information. Yes, it educates us, but it continues to produce misinformation. Anyone can put

without conducting any research.
