Thesis - Compared to times when social media was not accessible, bullying and abuse directed towards women has heightened and accountability lessened, due to the availability of fast-pace harassment and lack of face-to-face responsibility that media sites, such as Twitter and Instagram, tolerate, which should be fixed by consistently implementing their policies and updating the media's platform.

The problem-solution organization pattern will best suit the style in which my speech is formatted. Topics within the paper highlight society's and media's problems regarding harassment and the ideas presented throughout the paper address how these issues could begin to be relieved. Facts are laid out in a 1 - 2 sort of structure and I will first quote the statement and then analyze those points. This pattern will hopefully be most effective when addressing my audience of social media sites' management, platforms, and communities; as well as parents and/or guardians of developing children. 

Considering the attention of organizational administration, data concerning the prevalence of online harassment and how it is not handled efficiently, or even at all in some instances, will be highlighted in order to secure the credibility of online abuse and its depth throughout the internet. Further, quotes from people will be used to emphasize certain, problematic areas so that adjustments that best suit the community can be brought to attention and acted upon. Finally, the importance of female and minority representation and family-home encouragement will be proven to be immensely impactful through data regarding women's confidence within the work-place.
