14033119?qid=60d2f4
The informative and persuasive speeches can be both delivered and
heard in panel discussions.

A panel discussion, or simply a panel, involves a group of people

gathered to discuss a topic in front of an audience, typically at scientific,
business or academic conferences, fan conventions, and on television shows.
Panels usually include a moderator who guides the discussion and
sometimes elicits audience questions, with the goal of being informative and
entertaining. Film panels at fan conventions have been credited with
boosting box office returns by generating advance buzz. The typical format
for a discussion panel includes a moderator in front of an audience.

The paragraph that you will read below is an example of an informative

speech. Study carefully the content 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

4
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.

much liberal inaccurate information. Yes, it educates us, but it continues to
produce misinformation. Anyone can put information they want, either true or
untrue… and whatever the teenagers read, they will easily believe it without
