Over-reliance on the internet and social networking sites
General purpose: To demonstrate the adverse effects of the over-reliance on the internet and social networking sites.
Specific purpose: By demonstrating the adverse effects of the over-reliance on the internet and social networking sites, the speech will aim at providing reasons for the need of restrictions on the use of the internet and social networking sites.
Thesis statement: The speech will seek to demonstrate that the internet and specifically social networking websites should be restricted due to people’s overdependence on them.
Some of the effects of the over-reliance on the internet and social networking websites, which will be demonstrated in the speech, include:
Poor academic performance
Health effects such as depression
Damaged face-to-face communication
Abusing user vulnerability
Increasing cyberbullying
Increased use of online pornography
These effects will aim to show that society is over-reliant on the internet and social networking websites hence their use should be restricted.

Various resources will be used in coming up with a well-researched speech. All key points will be demonstrated and supported using sufficient data from various sources including books, the internet, scholarly articles, and journals. With time, the topic, the general purpose of the speech, the specific purpose of the speech, and the thesis statement can still be modified based on the research that will have been conducted.
