speech on "globalisation"

                            Good Speech “GLOBALISATION”

Globalization, a catchword today, has connected nations all over the globe resulting in fast global development.

There is a remarkable impact of globalization  on economics of several nations. Liberalization in trade and business policies has encouraged free trade and has attracted a large number of investors from developed countries to invest in the developing countries. Increased communication flow among the nations is connecting people worldwide and is easing out sharing of information at the corporate level. Globalised transportation too has made the movement of goods and people to happen without much of the hassle. Now, even the developing and underdeveloped countries are able to enjoy the benefits of latest technology due to increased technology sharing. Cultural barriers can also be seen breaking with increased migration, and the result is “global village effect.” As cooperation has increased, countries also feel it a common responsibility to tackle some global issues like pollution, global warming, environmental conservation, terrorism, nuclear weapons and so on. In fact, difficult goals like disarmament and disease free society also seem achievable when we look at increased global support.

Let us look at its negative side now. With greater economic globalization, a single sinking economy can badly effect multiple economies. Now, there is greater risk of diseases getting transported to other nations. The current “swine flu” pandemic, whose outbreak began in Mexico, has caused a medical emergency to break out in many countries including my own. People are also blaming globalization to be a cause of brain drain and cultural loss evident in many countries as East is coming under the influence of West. Corporations also take advantage of weak regulatory system of other nations to work with no pollution control measures.

Globalization now prevails at a much higher degree and the results are much obvious. A wise thought would be to take more benefits out of this unpreventable phenomenon keeping up the efforts to minimize its negative impact.

Good Speech “ROLE of MEDIA in our life”

“ROLE of MEDIA in our life”

Charming morning to all of you.

Well, today I am here to discuss my point of view on role of media in influencing our lives.

Media has a big role to play in the spread of any news and curiosity building. But the question is which type of news do you feel media should give more focus to, good or bad?

We are living in an age where every adult is supposed to update himself instantly with the latest happenings and rapid changes. In fact, all of us are literally coping up with the news and information overload through various sources like television, internet, radio and newspaper. Any news, good or bad, catches a massive public attention if media gives it more footage.

Bad news is often broadcasted as “breaking news” on television news channels. Even in newspapers, it finds a prime location to catch public’s eye. Bad happenings or crime news catches early attention as it is different from usual, regular happenings. People are curious to know more and more about it as they think, “It can’t happen to me”. On the top of it, TV or print media often does hammering of the same news for an indefinite period of time, which makes people interested to know real-time developments in the news story. News on a serial-killing, for instance, would make people quite desperate to know about the further moves of the killer and efforts being made to catch him. Bad news also gains publicity as it provides and alarming signals.

Good news, on the other hand, is related to technological advancements, sports, celebrity events and so on. Such news can be further glamorized to catch more attention of the readers or listeners. It definitely has a healthy impact on people’s mind and is good for children too who are psychologically weaker to digest crude realities and shocking news. Even for the bad news, sometimes media has to perform a mildening role by reducing the shock intensity to lessen the panic.

I think media should focus on such news that carries weightage to cause some kind of social development and is oriented to generate awareness and consciousness in the burning issues of the society.

Good speech on “Against Privatization of Public Sector”

Good morning..

Today I have got the proud privilege of talking against the motion on topic “Privatization of public sector”.

I disagree with the idea of shifting burden of all public sector enterprises from the government to private groups or individuals.

Privatization offers benefits like quality services, quick response to the customers, more varieties and innovations in the market and one-off cash boost to the government. Thus, from one angle to the idea of shifting burden is tempting, but does not have practical applicability. Looking at the scenario in my country, India, today government is handling almost all services. It will not be harsh to state that it faces hurdles and even fails on some fronts, but that cannot be an excuse for replacement. Total privatization would be a deathblow to our democracy. Increased privatization (private hospitals, private schools etc.) already has made facilities expensive. New laws are required to regulate the private bodies. Corruption at top posts remains undetected. Dictatorship and more economical differences will creep in with total privatization. The nation as a whole will be affected as private groups will target profits only and will not enter a low-profit zone. No social obligations would be casted on private groups or individuals. A complete privatization will lead to a materialistic life. Common man would be crippled and suppressed by the higher society.

According to me, the best solution is that the government allows private bodies to enter freely into public services. It would give the government a healthy competition and thus would lead to a better performance of theirs. New job opportunities will also help the government bring down unemployment ratio. Rich people will spend their money more than ever. Foreign funds will dramatically increase foreign revenue. Result would obviously be a much better economy. Parallelly, the government would take care of the common man.

I conclude by stating that replacement is not a good idea, but cooperation and/or competition between the government and private bodies would balance all sorts of instability and a new energetic system will emerge out of a corrupt and incapable system.
