Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, dear chairperson, timekeeper and honorable adjudicator. As you must know, the motion before us is “Internet addiction is a real illness” and we, the government are completely for it. I will provide you some relevant reasons and examples that justify our point of view and opinion. *
For instance:
An addiction is an illness. It is not know as an addiction because we want to. It has a purpose it is because internet is a real illness. Addiction is a very representative word in the motion. It is a keyword, due to its meaning. An addiction, as the first speaker of my team has just said, is something that engages you and you cannot stop doing although the harmful consequences it can cause to the person's health, mental or social life. Did you here? Addictions cause harmful consequences, which mean that Internet, that is an addiction, is a real illness.
Another argument I can add to support our opinion is that, do you think being locked in your bedroom living with the computer and loosing contact with all your relatives, friends and nature, is normal? Internet addiction is when you overuse this new tool and cannot drag your self out of the computer. This has pervasive consequences that should be considered an illness. I mean, you lose track of the time and you could even do not realize the time and do not eat. You are so hooked on the computer that you are not conscious of the time passing by.
Besides, it is like if you lived in our own bubble. Little by little, we loose contact with people, we do not read play and other things that are healthy for our life. The only friend that remains is the computer. You are left aside from reality and from the daily world.
To conclude, I expect that you reflect upon the reasons I provided and that they were useful to make my mind clear. I think this motion should and must stand.
* But first, I will refute some arguments of the opposite team I do not agree with.
