This content introduces the "Go Ba Choo Choo Lay" (GO BA CHOO CHOO LAY) methodology as a structured approach to excel in group discussions (GDs) by preparing key points related to good aspects, bad aspects, changes, actions, and learnings within the initial preparation time. It also demonstrates how to adopt different roles within a GD, such as initiator, supporter, opposer, harmonizer, and summarizer, using the topic of social media's impact as an example.

hello friends
let us discuss about a technique to win
at group discussions and the technique
is called go ba chocolate
whenever in a group discussion the topic
is announced you will have two to three
minutes to prepare for it before the gd
actually starts let me give you a small
methodology by which you can really
prepare during these two to three
minutes so the technique go by chuckling
says that the moment topic is announced
quickly think in points because you
don't have much time
go is good points ba is bad points cho
is change
is action and ali is learning
so in about two to three minutes write
three to four points for each of them if
you can't think of points for all then
mainly focus on go ba and cho which
means good points bad points and changes
so today let's give you a demonstration
if a group discussion were to be held on
the topic is
is
social media's rapid growth a curse or a
blessing for our society so let's start
this topic by
taking the role of someone who does the
first role which is an initiator so an
initiator as you all know always
introduces the topic welcomes all the
colleagues so
how would an initiator start
my respected colleagues i welcome you
all to this group discussion being
conducted at amazon and the purpose is
to let us have a discussion on whether
the rapid growth of social media is a
blessing or a curse for our society now
we all know that in the present context
over the last decade or so the very
rapid growth of technology has ushered
in an era where social media has
suddenly become a very important
platform of life be it facebook be it
linkedin instagram twitter youtube all
of these platforms have become the
biggest platform through which we are
communicating entertaining and at times
even facing various challenges of our
lives so since time is limited we only
have 15 minutes and it's a compulsory
consensus group discussion therefore may
i request all of us to analyze the
relevance of social media from three
important perspectives number one
economic opportunities which it offers
which would of course also include
threat number two social issues which
includes interaction connectivity and
maybe at times lack of it and number
three since it's often said that health
is a challenge we could discuss about
the health implications so since time is
limited may i invite all my colleagues
to give their valued opinions
so like this an initiator always
introduces the topic
second comes the role of somebody who's
a strong supporter
so how would a supporter talk about the
concept of social media my dear friends
i think we have got a very relevant
topic today and social media is really a
blessing for us and there are five big
reasons why i say that it is a blessing
number one entertainment today whenever
we are in some sort of a pressure the
first thing we can easily reach out to
is social media be it facebook youtube
or google related apps we can find a lot
of fun and entertainment within the
confines of our home number two it's
economical we don't have to pay anything
most of the content is free of cost we
could watch all kind of movies we could
connect with people so it's economical
also number three it's increasing our
friend circle now earlier we couldn't
have imagined to have friendship with
people across nationalities get to hear
the views of people at twitter or get to
know so much knowledge but today thanks
to social media it's very much possible
number four it's a great source of education
education
so many social media apps are today
providing free of cost education on just
about everything and finally number five
i think it's very good for health also
because not just health but almost any
field we are getting so many
opportunities to know about various
things so i sincerely believe social
media is a great blessing
next comes somebody who's a strong opposer
opposer
and the opposer
has to enter in very gracefully so you
could go something like this
my worthy colleague i think you have
presented a very good perspective and i
respect some of your points however i am
afraid that i would also like to mention
a few different points in my view social
media is really occurs because of
various reasons and the first of them is
it causes depression
everybody is posting their best possible
pictures videos and when other people
see them it leads to a sense of
inferiority complex and therefore leads
to depression so many instances of
suicide health problem mental problem
are happening because of social media
the second is it's drawing people away
from traditional sports physical
activity exercise and is therefore
leading to obesity eye problem health
problem why because people are getting
addicted to social media number three
social media is a very dangerous tool
because a lot of political or other
business forces are using it as a
divisive tool for promotion and dividing
people for their own gains we have seen
the allegations against russia in the
case of president donald trump and so
many other times when various apps have
been accused of being extremely biased
number four it's also true that lot of
false propaganda happens over here so
people could just be spelling any kind
of a canard or lie and the world would
actually believe as if it's true and
finally the biggest opposing factor for
this is the veracity of the content
which is posted is almost negligible
anybody could post anything and people
would probably believe it and therefore
be misled so in my humble view social
media is really very dangerous and it
really needs to be curtailed
so now friends you had an initiator
a supporter and an opposer
then when the gd becomes really better
comes the number four harmonizer
who tries to take a middle path and
suggest action for future
please remember quite often it's not
necessarily true that you may have only
these rules there could be some mix of this
this
but for now let's play rule number four harmonizer
