“Stick-to” these points:

1. The end does not justify the means – all your propositions must revolve
around this. Meaning, you stick to it. Do not go away from it. If the opposing team
leads you out, grab them back to this thesis. THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY
THE MEANS.

2. Helpful keywords/phrases:
 “Even if the ends/results of an immoral action are favorable, that “end” will
never make that immoral action right. Therefore, it doesn’t justify the
means.
 Remember: “Will that result make the action right?”… your answer is
NEVER. The result can never make it right, no matter how good the
result/end is.
 Did the action become right because of the “good end?” ===== NOOOO!
Thus, it is not justified.

3. Always give focus on the ACTION/MEANS. We do not care about the end, or the
intention, or the outcome. No matter what the consequences, we still focus on
the rightness and wrongness of the action done.

4. In this debate, we do not argue whether an action is right or wrong based on the
circumstances surrounding it. OUR FOCUS is the justifiability of an act (or the
means) based on its outcomes, results, or consequences. The answer is simple.
The end does not justify the means. There have been many instances where
the results’ favorability apparently or tend to justify the way it was achieved. But
then again, we re-focus on the matter at hand, that is, the means. And no result,
outcome, or consequence can turn a wrong act right. An unjust action can never
be justified by a favorable end. The end does not justify the means.
