"It's time to stop stalking and start talking " such a delightful quote 👏
I can’t understand this quote 😢
Can you explain please
"You can learn more by looking someone in the eye, then you can from their social media profile" ~man said some profound 🙂
Than
Social media posts may be a highly inaccurate representation of a person, but a subjective interpretation of a body part contains very little, if any, useful information about a person. Try offering Google or Facebook a trade; all the information they've harvested from your social media activity in exchange for a good long look into your eyes.
@@christofthedead we should become data collectors then lol
As somebody who always struggled to look people in the eyes, I noticed that a couple of weeks ago, so profound.
do
He’s really a good speaker. His argument is clear, manner is good, but the most empressive part is his easygoing speaking. It makes us -listeners- to feel him as a REAL talanted speaker! He surely got this debate
I find it distracting that many of the debaters will read off essays rather than look at the audience. In many presentations in the sciences, it's bad form to read the notecards or to read off powerpoint slides. I expected many of them to have already memorized their arguments and be prepared for opposition.
I need someone to present their stance and to explain their arguments as if they are teaching and talking to me. The essay should only be used if they get lost.
@@unentitledunentitled6149 yeah ...
@@unentitledunentitled6149 Yeah... Debate doesn't mean narrating notes.... It's about interacting with people.. Talking about our beliefs... And beliefs can never be theoretical.. It has to be practical
@Eric Li interesting read. Any recommendations into books you / your friends have been reading please? Thanks
@@SkilliciousDesigns Empire of sins
"Social Media is giving massive followings who are popular rather than people who are professional"
Damn I felt that.
Stop STALKING and start TALKING 😂
Very important message!👌
True
This is the best first speaker The Union has had in a long time. I hope this is the begining of a trend.
STRAYA REP
Yah he is a amazing ,fantastic, marvellous and says to be also funniest speaker
Ahh, you're just saying that because he's handsome with great hair.
Good Observation
@@insanecaine can you hold that against him though... he got some good Gene's good for him
his delivery of ideas and arguments of social media was nice, he didn't jump into it's corruption of social interaction, he explained what social media is, and then he began to say his argument.
Ye that’s the first thing all gov need to say at the start. Definition of terms. Assume the audience has no idea about the topic
that's the structure of debating
I find it so attractive that he is intelligent and wearing a suit. Just my type.
buaya betina
@@satisfatic6287 ya ampun, ngakak 😂
(+) he's good manner and also good looking :v jahaha
You gonna marry him?
Not sure if this is a debate, everything the speaker said was fact.
Everything that debaters say is a fact, the essence lies in how they say it.
I guess it should be fact. A debate should be fact against fact. The breaking point is which fact outweighs the other. I’m not a debater tho, just my opinion
@@Adam-hb6lw I know I posted 2 years ago now so views may change a bit. I feel like a debate is more about the best experienceable outcome for the facts being presented. I dont really see it as some facts are better than others as most facts are equally valid. But some facts are more appropriate for the present situation than others. It explains the reason behind multiple governing parties instead of just having one party alone.
So essentially you're right
What a fantastic speech that truly highlights the incessant issues that social media has on societal structure. Bravo!
As a professional Doctorate student, social media has been very influential both in the professional and personal life, because people follows our post than knowing what's the truth. I love this video so much. Thank you so much Sir Jack Symonds for your propositions.
Now this is a conversation worth having. Social media has exposed the true number of narcissistic and downright mean people there are out there, and that is not even mentioning the illegal deta collection and sale of by companies. It has grown into something that is extremely harmful mentally to people, I notice myself how I would laugh if someone liked a comment and so I stopped using it
if emma watson was a man
Same thought!!!!
man, you spoil the speech
@@creativebooth3140 lmao :D
😩 nailed it lol.
Exactly. You put my thought into words😂
Showed respect, Had spoken on facts rather than dwelling on this and that's. Had done his homework quite well. Talked with full consciousness and confidence.
He said damn well!.
Real human connections are being replaced by virtual relationships. The truth is for most part, we are spending huge proportion of our lives living in a digital universe
Classy acknowledgement of the opposition and equally elegant exposition of the question; some very fine points made!
This man might just be the best first speaker they have had
Ended with 'propose' ...man propose to me so wittingly and wisefully talking against Instagram on my behalf at the Oxford union...this is my soul mate. I made my thesis about this yet more specifically about activism in social media.
I listen to this stuff like podcasts during my workouts.....good stuff.
You, Sir, are an intellectual! But how do you split your focus? Must be your muscle memory doing all the workout mindlessly...so your brain is free to ponder! That is just my guess but it's an incredible feat indeed!
That was a very passionate and articulate speech, wow
"You can learn more by looking someone in the eye, then you can from their social media profile" 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great speech!! He makes strong points for the proposition.
wow
this is a speech one can listen without spending a bit boring moment. simply perfect.
He is a verygood speaker the way he speaking,attitude, behaviour everything is perfect.he sharead such knowledgable things which may we dont even got from any university...
Agreed
This is first the best speaker and enviable person I want to this person will be achieve extremely high awards in the future life.I look forward to new and energetic debate
I've just discovered this channel and OMG it is a really gift. Thank so much for sharing!
This boy brought us a view that we didn’t see in a brilliant style!
The way he took this topic in a very simple manner is one of his good qualities..and the line Stop stalking and start talking was very fantastic..Well done Man!
Good speech on the dangers and cons of social media.
There are lots of good speaker but like him.. no words.. Salute
well said, very well mannered, respects the opposition, knows what hes saying, he really is a good speaker
Ironically I'm watching this on social media! Great debate!
this is what debate is! clear and concise
I really love his presentation , i can understand what did he say nearly 99% , his voice is great ❤❤❤❤
Social media is giving massive following to people who are famous than people who are professional. Absolutely right
Everything the speaker said was in fact it was clear and understandable this debate was awesome...
One of the most effective and concise arguments I've ever seen.
Really great speech on the dangers of social media :)
We watched this in English and the whole class was waving their fists up and down during it.
5 years after this debate in 2022, social media as a source of comparison, jealousy and feelings of lack leading to depression is prevalent.
They don't know that we are watching this video on social media
hahaha best counter argument ever
I loved the way he spoke.
I had to watch this in class but it honestly attracted me so much I think I’m gonna watch others
He’s a true gentleman, sheer class
Thankyou for the message Mr. Symonds.
I do not care if I am doing this right now but this boy is on FIRE!!!!!
Being able to speak cohesively and simply is a huge advantage for persuasiveness
like the way he express the things is commendable and i was shocked by seeing the dept of his question and i believe that the points he raised in his debate will fruitful for me and i also want to speak like him one day .
he is a really good speaker and presentation. He's an attractive voice which is really wonderful.
He did a fantastic job.
Wonderful first speaker
I don't agree with all of your points but damn, that was one fine speech!!
This first guy is a great speaker. Very engaging.
not to mention he is handsome
What an increíble orator!
Love From India 🇮🇳 .Love the Arguments ....
Personally, I think he more showed the effect of social media on the person than on relationships. His points were valid but needed to be explained and the negative effect on relationship, identified and evidence been given. His public speaking is fabulous, but I believe it’s so good that it’s covering up some of the holes or irrelevance in his argument. Please include your opinion below after rewatching to see if you can understand my points.
finally someone said this!! I am reading the comments, and I am surprised that no one pointed this out
Social media is playing a crucial role because every one has a weapon to access and express to oneself..
what is the point of expressing oneself when your view can be distorted, misinterpreted and even use to justify something completely different.
"EVERY ONE has a weapon to access and express to oneself" 🌚 it made us care about shitty opinions of unqualified people like t*te. Like bro what are your qualifications? Masters in gender studies?
Congratulation .. powerful speech and body presentation 🎊🎉
I love ❤ the way he is talking ❤
Well said! Very articulate!!
Legend says the guy is still shaking his hand!!!
😏😏😏
Fantastic spoken
Social media is surely corrupting human interaction , Attention span , psychological discomfort, poor sleep quality, unrealistic body desires, low self esteem , low confidence, people have not forgotten how to write with a Pen . What a speech I support him.
Wow that's awesome how he delivery.
Very clear!! your talks ♥️
Very good debate 🔥👏
Years after.... Very relevant submission
Last line was lit!🔥💜
Me watching this video envying him for being so talented
Me watching this video idk don't know that man good speech
what a amazing debate!
Social Media destroyed my future, though it helped me a lot...
Still trying to overcome it...
"it's time to stop stalking
and start talking"
my introverted self feels personally attacked
hehe
Just amazing
what an explanation!
He won this debate hands down.
Great, galvanizing personality.
Congrats.
He is an extremely influential speaker and whatever he said is what we feel. If the opposite team denies the fact that his facts are false....I cannot judge them.
well spoken
What you said is offensive. Was he supposed to sound dumb? Now u see how being p.c. Can be a pain in the ass.
I love the confidence this boy possess 👍
This is amazing 👏 🙌
Yes it true " it's people who are depressed who are turning into social media ".
Wow 😊 he was a great speaker his all argument were too clear and understandable never bore to listening him his all points were too Asswemon and they showing the reality he is too inspirational for young generations
*Corrupt*.
Media *corrupt*.
A medium *corrupts*.
Brilliant speaker!
Very good for to listen and follow for the school students who are fiuent in English.
excellent debate
Module brought Me here🇵🇭📚🏅
Most entertaining speech ever
One benifit of social media is that it gives me access to listen to this speech or any other one
My gratitude, for the speeches themselves belong in an Oxford Handbook Series of their own.
He sure has good rhythm. 😃
Very monotonous use of his right hand.
If you always use the same gesticulation, people don’t really know which point/sentence is *important* or _less important_
Other than that, extremely good speech and good and easy to follow presentation of facts.
I heartlly respect....
socialmedia speech ....
Good speech, keep up..
Most valid point i think is that it is dishonest = corruption. To know which social media is good or bad perhaps look to how honest it is as a whole.
Astounding speaker....fab sir ....keep going coz ur limit is sky...☺☺
presentations of thoughts was impressive
Sir, you really perform very good.
His rhythm is lovely 😮❤
Well delivered
