    This motion argues that success and failure in life are determined by random factors outside of personal control rather than individual actions. It provides three arguments: 1) People have unequal chances in life determined at birth; 2) People face adverse destinies beyond their control; 3) Sudden chance events can determine outcomes regardless of effort. The motion cites ancient Greek and Roman beliefs that viewed destiny or fate as inevitable forces shaping human lives.

    Motion 1

    This House prefers a world where success and failure are seen as a consequence of random factors,
    rather than personal actions.

    Arguments:

    1. About inequality of chances at birth


    2. About adverse destiny
    3. About a surprise event

    1. Inequality of chances at birth

    Greco-Roman antiquity highlights the big part that destiny takes in human life through a
    significant symbolism: Moira, the daughter of Chaos and Night, represented for Elins the destiny
    chosen for every being, through unshakeable laws.

    At Romans, the faith, Fatum, was represented through an old man that was either blind or
    blindfolded. He had everyone’s destiny written on a brass tablet. Decisions about faith were
    distributed to each person at birth. Every religion, spiritual words, popular stories describe
    the existence of the destiny
