    How to conduct a debate?

    STRUCTURING AN ARGUMENT
    First, the general structure of an argument applies to all
    formats of debate. An argument must contain these
    three elements
    A claim is a declarative statement - it establishes your
    argument.
    A warrant is the justification for your claim. It
    establishes why
    your claim is true.
    An impact is the significance of your argument. It
    outlines why people should care about your argument.

    Rules
    • One person speaks at a time. No side discussions!
    • All comments MUST address the previous student comment directly. You may not simply ignore a comment
    and shift the argument to an unrelated point.

    • Each person will credit the source of any statistic, quotation, survey, or other research information AT THE
    TIME that source is mentioned during the debate.
    • All members of each side must participate in the debate.

    • Do not read your materials.

    • You may bring some brief notes, but you may not read them.
     
    • Maintain good eye contact with the audience.

    • No new constructive arguments may be introduced in the rebuttal period. The affirmative must, if possible,
    reply to the major negative arguments before the last rebuttal.

    • The judge must base his decision entirely on the material presented, without regard for other material which
    he may happen to possess.

    • Any gains made outside of the established procedure are disallowed.


    • The argument will no be taken into account if disqualifying expressions are used.
    Should prisioners do penal labor?
    Penal labour can be considered slavery. The use of
    someone’s labour against their will is very dangerous as it
    can very easily lead to abuse. Therefore, the main
    argument against penal labour is slavery. It also grants too
    much power to the State, which can rely on a source of
    cheap, steady, and poorly supervised labour should it
    engage in a mass incarceration campaign.
    Getting people in prison working is an exceptionally
    important part of turning them away from crime.
    Many will have never held down a steady job in their lives;
    part of the reason so many return to crime on release.
    It does no-one any good to have ably-bodied men laying
    around in a cell all day watching television. They already
    have a great cost to the nation, so the country can save
    money by having them work to pay back and do some
    good to society.
