Story 1:
Narrator:Anthony has just finished his workout and is pumped about the gains he has made
and decides to show it off to the world

Anthony:(clicks a photograph) i wonder what my followers would have to say about this

Alisha and siddhi come in the scene and tell him what a great progress he has made
All the while siddharth is in his hoodie eating chips

Siddharth:Looks like anthony has decided to make a fool out of himself today who gave that
sukda bombil such confidence lets take his ego apart
(Starts talking in hindi)
Aye kitne time se gym ja raha hai tu,itna hi hua kya gains,why are you wasting your parents
money behind this,Anthony ko lagta hai ki wo arnold schwarzenegar banega,bhai padhai
karle ias kar iss sab mai time kyu waste kar raha hai

Anthony:its always the same with everyone no matter how much i progress it is always the
same sometimes i wonder if its even worth it alll chuck it i dont want anything to do with
progress from now onwards even i will be the same toxic trash that has always been
directed at me
(Proceeds to wear the hoodie and gets behind the screen)

Amish enters the scene portraying he wants to click his own photos And Anthony is standing
right beside him with a hoodie on
Conclusion:over the cover of a computer screen any person can make people feel sorry for
their own progress the above skit is just an example
My character here has spread negativity and destroyed the morale of a poor guy who had
done nothing wrong all behind the superficial world of social media And imposing his own
insecurities and shortcomings own some other guy and this causes a scene

Story 2:Road Accident

Narrator: on a sunday afternoon,Rex is travelling from his home to the office. Due to brake
failure in his scooter, he gets in an accident.

Yash:(walking on a road and asking for help) Ae bhai ,uth jaa,call Ambulance,ANYONE?!?!
Ambulance ko call lagao koi!!!He needs help!Is there a doctor here?yaha pe koi doctor hai
kya?He needs medical aid!EMERGENCY!HELP!

Everyone except the narrator in the act: (Starts mobile pe recording accident and uploading
on social media and Rex dies)
Story 3:
Narrator: Siddhi is a rising influencer on youtube because of her vlogs and series.
She is living her best life and enjoys the leisure while she is not aware of what her actions
might lead to a devastating life incident.

Siddhi: (with a phone vlogging ) Hi guys! I’m Siddhi and welcome to my vlog!

recent art gallery.

It costs ₹5,00,000 and I love it so much!
And aapko bata hi hoga ki I’ve bought a new home in Coloba at this street (shows street)
You’ll see how happy i am about this painting and how well it goes with my new house!

N: while she’s telling her subscribers about the art, there are some who don’t aren’t happy
for her.

Then they both rob siddhis place

2 days later

N : Now siddhi has returned home and decides to go back to rest and admire the painting
she admires so much
Siddhi : Wait! Where’s my painting??
IS it stolen?
Was there a theft?
I NEED TO CALL THE POLICE!

Siddhi : Sir I’m here to report a theft that took place at my house

Police 1: Kay boltay tumhi? Hindi ya marathi me baat karo

Police2: Arey uske ghar pe chori hua hai

Police 1: oH achaa mag asa bolayach na! Kay theft ani kasla kay

Police 2: ha baatao kya kya chori hua aur kaise pata chala apko

Siddhi : (tells everything and vlog )

Police 1: arey madam aise karoge toh aise hi hoga na

Police 2: nay tar kay! Aap choron ko khule aam ghar ka pata dere ho vlog se, kaise log faida
nahi lenge

SIddhi: sorry sir, sorry sir, wapis nahi hoga. Mujhe laga mere liye sab khush honge

N: This is how a small detail about her life has caused so much damage to her that she’ll be
in shock forever.

Conclusion: Oversharing on the internet is something very dangerous. They could have
harmed me if I was at my house that time.
I’ve learned my lesson of how careful I should be with the information I share in front of the
world for the safety of me and my dear ones.
Story 4:

Narrator: Alisha has a small business and is very hard working. Yayati, on the other hand, is
a designer for a big company.

Stage is divided into two parts, Alisha will be the small business and Yayati the Big business.
Alisha: Finally! Itna kaam karke, I'm done with my design! I’ll post it now!
*Alisha posts her design*
Abhi chain se soo sakti hu main!
*Alisha sits on the chair to sleep*

narrator : while alisha is sound asleep, yayati remembers she needs to submit her design
tomorrow.

*At the exact same time,yayati jumps up from her chair*

Yayati: Oh no! I need to submit a new design by tomorrow or else, I might lose my job!
What should I do? aree I’ll take a look at instagram to find inspiration.
*sees Alisha’s design*
This looks so good. Should I use this design to submit tomorrow? I mean she’s barely got
followers and seems like nobody has seen this. eh - kisiko kya he pata chalega. copy-paste.

*Shows design to boss*

Boss! Look at this design! I worked on it for weeks!
boss: This looks amazing for our company, approved!

boss: all right everyone, i want to see you on time tomorrow! Good night!

Alisha: *wakes up* Ah it's the next day,

I wonder how many people have seen it?
*checks laptop*

Hm, I guess not many people have seen my design. wait - what is this!?
Is this a big company? Why does it have the same design as mine?
They released this design after me as well. Did they really steal my idea?
I need everyone to know about this!

*on yayati’s side people gather and praise her design*

*Alisha walks towards two friends who are followers*

Hey did you know this big company stole my design?

follower 1: yea? I don't believe you, you must’ve copied their design haha.
Follower 2: we need proof man
Alisha: Here, see i posted this before they released their design!
follower 1: yea it is,but why would a big business steal from you? I know you’re lying, they
plan their designs well
*walks away to yayati’s side to support her*
follower 2: i know you're telling the truth, but it still makes no sense why they did that?
*goes over to yayati*
Hey, I heard you stole your design from a small business?

yayati : what? No! We believe that it was a coincidence, and in fact support a lot of small
businesses! They inspire us a lot!

*follower 2 is convinced and tells Alisha that yayati supports her business and joins in
cheering for yayati instead*

Alisha: What have I done wrong? Should I stop making art at all if people keep stealing from
me like this? She not only stole my design, but also took away my followers!

*Alisha is sad and sits on the chair, scene ends*

Conclusion:
Social media promotes plagiarism to an alarming extent everyday. Original creators get little
to no recognition at all, whereas big companies and personalities get all of the credit.
Conclusion:
Social media. We have all heard of it. We have all raved about it at some point in our lives.
There is no doubt; it plays an imperative part of people’s lives today – users are reliant on
social media. We have all seen the dangers it can cause. From identity fraud to
cyberbullying - we become exposed to the dangers of the internet.
Not only is it hackers and frauds that cause destruction, but social networking posts. Every
day, you scroll through Instagram - liking, sharing and commenting on posts. What people
don’t see is how words on a ‘status’ or ‘tweet’ can hurt someone. They can’t see that a
person’s feelings behind the screens on a computer have been destroyed, because they
can’t see what they don’t want to see.

Using social media can provoke feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction with one’s own life.
Clicking through the updates and photos of friends can give a false sense of security and
happiness in the lives of others, making one feel isolated and envious.

Social media is the distillation and digitization of everything wrong in every after-school
special. People can herald it as this great, liberating thing that’s connected the world, but it
boils down to nothing more than those awkward teenage years that most people couldn’t
wait to leave behind.
