Persusaive Speech Script

Assalamualaikum respected Sir and fellow classmates who have
joined today’s speaking session. My name is Humyra Talukder. I join

today with warm welcome in a rainy summer to you all.
I would like to start my speech today confessing something. I love
the internet. I love staying all day browsing the net, laughing at
anything that is coined funny, catching a br match in call of duty and
I know so do you all. Who doesn’t like a platform where you can are
connected to the rest of the world despite being miles away? There
is much to do on the net, you can look for information, you can look
up on your buddies studying in abroad , you can also look up for
content updates from your favourite influencer. Which brings me to
my topic are social media influencers beneficial to the society. My
partner Ummay Tohra had spoken in support of the speaking topic,
however I like to be the villain hence I will be facing today’s topic as
the Darth Vader,and claim that social media influencers are not
beneficial to the society.
The very first reasoning behind why I dare make such claims is
because despite social media influencers have high exposure to a
large population and can be used as an easy marketing source, most
of this so called “Influencers” , a big majority of them have become
popular due to some sort of moral or ethically wrong act For
example the American influencer Woah Vicky became popular
because she pretended to be a person a Black person despite clearly
being a Caucasian. She portrayed racist behaviour such as pretending
to have draids, talking with an African American accent , cussing
publicly and using the N- word. She went viral when she posted a
video where she found from ancestry.com that she was 25 percent
black however, ancestry.com has reviews to give faulty and incorrect
information. For a person who showed behaviour of cultural
appropriation, racist actions, one would expect Woah Wicky to have
some serious actions taken against her however due to her internet
popularity she was given a music contract and now she has is a
rapper with a net worth of 1 billion dollars. This is the way we have
made society to be, reward such actions with positive
reinforcements.For a person who did nothing but put up videos of
her being racist ,she is rewarded with being 1 billion dollar worth
rapper. And this is exactly what we teach younger children who are
the consumer of Woah Vicky and other similar influencers, that is if
you are racist, if you cuss, if you pretend to be something
outreageous, you can too become a billion dollar worth
influencer.Perhaps morality is subjective but being racist is not!
If you think that an example of an American influencer is far too
unrelatable to you, here is something that hits more close
home.With the rise of apps like tiktok , there has been rise of
influencer in our country . However with it rose many criminal
activity. How come an app that is marketed towards teenagers be a
platform for terrible criminal activities you may ask? 3 months back
tiktoker Hridoy, a very well-known tiktoker in Bangladesh has been
charged with trafficking and sexually abusing women. Multiple clips
have been released online showcasing Hridoy sexually abusing and
trafficking young girls to India. This kind of criminal behaviour is
promoted to the audience.
Finally, in an age where being glamorous, age of body dysmorphic an
age where we promote unrealistic body images to the public, many
influencers are known to heavily photoshop their images, they are
also known to sell unhealthy diet ideas and products to their
consumers to achieve something they did by altering themselves.
Many beauty influencers are known to go through plastic surgery,
get contracts with surgical companies just so that they can advocate
their brands. Influencers Lauren Goodger, Mike Hassini, and Zara
Holland promoted a fake weightless drink. The drink was described
as a new kind of weightloss drink which would help you loose pounds
weight however in reality it contained the lethal chemical hydrogen
cyanide which damages the cardiovascular and heart system.
Combing all the social media platform in the world today, there are
3.2 to 37.8 million social media influencers, and I took 3 examples
out of many social media stars that exist. Encouraging ethically
wrong behaviours, making trafficking and abuse of humans an
ascendancy and selling false products and images, more than 45
percent of Instagram accounts are engaged in fraudulence. So, I ask
you all, are influencers truly beneficial to the society? Will you let
your younger siblings, cousins or even your own child watch these
influencers at ease, hoping they could learn something?
I conclude my speech to ask you all to go home and think whom and
what are we truly following.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
