THE DEBATERS

ANALYSIS DEBATE
- Analysis debate: That we believe sb would do sth
- We regret sth => Not need a policy
MOTION 1: We believe FB is more bad than good
- 1st min: define the criteria (định nghĩa)
Ex: define what good/bad is?
DEFINE BY NUMBERS
Ex: That we believe that VN is the best country
- prove that our side meet/ get closer to a better criteria ( GDP, culture,
achievement) but other side doesn't
SET MỤC TIÊU TỪ ĐẦU TRẬN ĐẤU
- Find the principle ground (vấn đề về mặt cốt lõi/ đạo đức) of the
motion : whether the motion is right/ wrong to the debate (on moral
ground), will be harder for the other team to debate what we've build on
the 1st round
- 2nd round: practical ground (whether the motion is helpful/ harmful to
a skateholder), has pros and cons, easier to find, short preparing time,
very beneficial if u can find but eay to debate, bring more benefits than
the other team
Ex: that highschool attendance should be made voluntary
+ skateholders: highschool students, parents, teachers, school
administrative, government
TIPS: WHICH SKATEHOLDER AFFECT MOSTLY? (SO PUT IN
THE FIRST)
IF DONT FOLLOW, HARDER TO FIND ARGUMENTS
- Dont speak into details: too much detail, forgot to give out how u
reasoning to that motion
Ex: that we sp beating dog's thief
+ 1st: they do sth wrong -> they must face consequences -> harder to
rebut
+ 2nd: the physical punishment is too extreme -> practical -> for the
thief
Even if (khi phe kia đưa ra arguments dựa trên 1 quan niệm/ đạo đức)
they're thief, they should be punished by the authority
MAXIMUM 3 ARGUMENTS
A1: NO P.O.I
- Key word, key phrases, context, definition, term's goal, status quo
+ build context, not be too bias to ur side, state out sth that's true in real
life
- Introduce at least 1 ARG for AFF
- SUGGESTION: state ur policy and the team slide (introduce all of ur
team argument)
N1:
- team's goal and counter status (1min)
- provide definition for what the AFF DID NOT MENTION (30s)
- Rubuttal AFF argument (1min)
- Introduce at least 1 ARG for NEG
A2: P.O.I & acp P.O.I (take 1 P.O.I only)
- better to acp P.O.I at the beginning , try to ans only in 30s
- Rebut NEG case (1min 30s)
- Extend the A1's argument or introduce new argument (2mins)
N2:
- rebutal for AFF case ( 1min 30s)
- ans P.O.I (30s)
- Extend + introduce
A3:
- rebuttal for the NEG (1min 30s)
- rebut the NEG case
- POI (30s)
- bring out main clashes of the debate (30s), summarize the debate
- prove to the judges that our side has been doing more and build a better
world for the skateholders (30s)
- compare arguments btw 2 teams, try to engage with the other team
POLICY DEBATE
- Motion: that sb should do sth (action)
Ex: that we should legalize gambling
Require u to do sth: allow, criticize...
AFF: must follow the policy, state the problem (status quo): traffic jam,
air pollution...
MOTION: That we should ban cars in HN
-> Why should we have this motion?
2 criteria:
- it should be urgent (tính cấp thiết)
- it should be serious ( tính quan trọng)
Clarify the policy: make it details (optional)
- 2 ways to approach the policy
+ harsh case: useful in most of the time, take very serious action, face
serious consequences, sometimes has back clashes (will it be unfair/
other pp approach this motion), prove that this case is the only way,
SHOULD CREATE CASE IN BTW, NOT TOO HARSH/ SOFT
+ soft case: pp can pay or fine for what they do, doesnt take serious
action, this wont have a big impact like harsh case but ez to imply
NEG:
- agree with the AFF problem: bring out another policy that solve the
problem
- disagree with the AFF problem: protect status quo, must spend a lot of
time reasoning why disagree and why our more important, urgent
Reply speech: the last speech
- summarize the debate
- compare on both practical and principle ground (analysis)
- on both the problem and policy (prove that our policy will solve the
problems, it's very urgent and important, it is the only way) (tính độc
nhất)
- not bring new ideas
TIPS FOR FINDING CLASHES (A3, N3)
- always focus on the team line, 3 or 4 words that every members must
say it in a debate
