The Edinburgh Cup 2017
This tournament is organized by the University of Edinburgh and the 2017 event was held on 14th of October 2017.
40 teams joined up and debated these motions:
Round 1: This house regrets the rise of clicktivism
Round 2: This house regrets the liberal media’s satirical portrayals of the Trump administration (eg. Saturday Night Live, Last Week Tonight and the Daily Show).
Round 3: This House Believes That Governments Should Cease Any and All Policies Aimed at Preventing or Slowing the Automation of Labour
Round 4: This house, as Iran, would pursue the acquisition of nuclear weapons
Round 5: This house supports the forcible redistribution of land in countries with severe historical racial oppression (eg. South Africa)
Hey, my name is Peter and I’m the author of this website and all the content on this page. I have been a debater, a debate trainer, debate tournament organizer and everything else with a debate prefix for more than 10 years and I’ve seen it all. I want to help everyone to be a better debater and if you want to help too, please let me know. Keep on debating!
please I want some points on the “Round 3: This House Believes That Governments Should Cease Any and All Policies Aimed at Preventing or Slowing the Automation of Labour” as a speaker for both sides of the government.
Thanks.
