The End.

This Particular Proposal is best suited to be the closing punch of the Round 2, Bilal’s final speech.
Audience Retention and Reaction, at least I believe plays a pivotal role, in indirectly influencing the
final results. There have been several past successful attempts, to achieve audience engagement,
often using humor and roasts.

Besides, I believe the nature of this topic is such that, more than statistics and what not; storytelling
can be an effective tool, to back up your points. And the combination of audience engagement and
storytelling is - emotional baiting.

Emotional baiting is a trick that has been around for a very long time but has never been utilized
before in this inter-house debating competition.

AMANA TODD
Amanda Michelle Todd (November 27, 1996 – October 10, 2012)[7] was a 15-year-old Canadian student and victim
of cyberbullying who hanged herself at her home in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Before her death, Todd posted a video
on YouTube in which she used a series of flashcards to tell her experience of being blackmailed into exposing her
breasts via webcam,[5] and of being bullied and physically assaulted. The video went viral after her death, resulting in
international media attention. The video has had more than 14 million views as of February 2022.
