Yale - Complexity DATournament: Yale Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: Agape Leaders Prep KL | Judge: Kathryn Gross Predictions. Cognitive constraints on our ability to make certain predictions mean you assign their scenarios very little probability.Predictions in I.R are pretty much impossible. Unforeseen consequences have as much shaping power as predicted consequences.Hendrick, 2009 – PhD in Conflict Resolution from Bradford University, contributor to the Oxford University Press (Diane, "Complexity Theory and Conflict Transformation: An Exploration of Potential and Implications", http://www.brad.ac.uk/acad/confres/papers/pdfs/CCR17.pdf-http://www.brad.ac.uk/acad/confres/papers/pdfs/CCR17.pdf)//BZ In international relations Neil E. Harrison makes the case for the value of complexity Same for the environmental impact. Even if your "warming real and bad" data is good your prediction that the plan will uniquely result in environment collapse are impossible, too many variables.Levy and Lichtenstein, 2011 – Levy is a Professor in Management and Marketing at UMass while Lichtenstein is an associate professor in management at UMass (David and Benyamin, "Approaching Business and the Environment with Complexity Theory", Oxford Press, http://www.faculty.umb.edu/david_levy/LevyLicht2011_complexity_chap32.pdf) Complexity theory offers a conceptual framework that incorporates the essential unpredictability of economic and environmental Even if they win some predictions are good we win that linear perditions are impossible. Prefer solving existing problems.Deug Whan Sa, 04 Dong-U College, South Korea, ("CHAOS, UNCERTA I N T Y, AND POLICY CHOICE: UTILIZING THE ADAPTIVE MODEL," International Review of Public Administration, vol. 8, no. 2, 2004, scholar)RK Third, the characteristic is the existing Newtonian determinism theory which presumes linear relations where Second. Low risk is no risk. If we win our probability arguments you still vote to solve car accidents even though they say extinction.Focusing on worse case analysis makes risk assessment impossible because it artificially inflates the danger of one time catastrophes vis-à-vis impacts with extended timeframe.David Berube, Associate Professor of Speech Communication at the University of South Carolina, 2000 ~Director of Debate "Debunking Mini-max Reasoning: The Limits Of Extended Causal Chains In Contest Debating,"Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, Volume 21, Available Online at http://www.cedadebate.org/CAD/2000_berube.pdf, Accessed 04-05-2008, p. 64-69~ Vohra warned: "There are many inherent uncertainties in the quantitative assessment of accident There is no alternative. Their risk analysis makes policy making imposable because there is always a risk of extinction.HERBECK AND KATSULAS, 92 ~Dale, Professor of Communication and Director of the Fulton Debating Society at Boston College; John, Debate Coach at Boston College; ?The Use and Abuse of Risk Analysis in Policy Debate,? Paper Presented at the 78th Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association Available Online via ERIC Number ED354559, p. 10-12~ | 9/22/13 |
Yale Rd 1 - Coloniality KTournament: Yale Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Agape Leaders Prep PY | Judge: Ron Nuzzolio The struggle over the question of who counts as human is THE question of the debate—the system of colonialism instituted by European powers in the 15th and 16th centuries haunts the present in the form of coloniality—an epistemological structure that privileges the Western subject as the only legitimate expression of human knowledge. The question of Latin American engagement can only be answered when we first unsettle the coloniality of knowledge and being that has demarcated the majority of the world as subhuman populations given over to death.Wynter 2003 (Sylvia, Professor of Romance Languages at Stanford University, and#34;Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Freedom The affirmative’s economic engagement with Latin America is just one more manifestation of 500 years of coloniality—the promise of prosperity, democracy, and security is a toxic fantasy that obscures the trail of dead reaching back through time.Mignolo 2005, (Walter, Duke University, and#34;THE IDEA OF LATIN AMERICAand#34;, 2005, 6/28/13|Ashwin) Coloniality naturalizes a non-ethics of death and generalizes the condition of damnation—ongoing genocide, enslavement, rape, ecological destruction and unending war is produced by and reproduces colonial epistmeologies.Maldonado-Torres 2008 ~Nelson. and#34;Against War : Views from the Underside of Modernityand#34;¶ Durham, NC, USA: Duke University Press, 2008. p 215-217¶ http://site.ebrary.com/lib/utexas/Doc?id=1021719126ppg=52~~ The alternative is the DEATH OF THE AMERICAN MAN – this is an epistemological and semiotic struggle which deflates the enthno-class of ManMaldonado Torres 2005 ~Nelson, professor at Rutgers, and#34;Decolonization and the New Identitarian Logics after September 11,and#34; Radical Philosophy Review 8, n. 1 (2005): 35-67~ Inspired by these Fanonian insights l have articulated elsewhere the idea of a weak utopian And we must decolonize debate practice itself—Education based on Western epistemologies continue forms of colonial schooling designed to reproduce coloniality- from the and#34;moral projectand#34; of educating and civilizing the Indians to teaching of social Darwinism in the Congo. Decolonizing education requires not only an analysis of the knowledge, power, Eurocentrism, colonial history, and political economy inherent in educational activities like debate but also foregrounding the possibility of epistemic resistance.Shahjahan 2011 ~Riyad Ahmed, Assistant Professor of Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education (HALE) at Michigan State University.

Yale Rd 1 - FWTournament: Yale Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Agape Leaders Prep PY | Judge: Ron Nuzzolio A. Interpretation – the affirmative must advocate a USFG policy that increases investment in transportation infrastructure1. The United States federal government is The three branches of U.S. government—legislative, judicial, and executive—carry out governmental power and functions.That’s USA.gov 2. The colon means the USFG is the agent of the resolutionWebster’s Guide to Grammar and Writing, in 2000 3. That excludes individual actionBlack’s Law Dictionary, ’99 (Seventh Edition Ed. Bryan A. Garner (chief)) B. The aff affirms that topic through a metaphor and adopts a consensual form of politicsC. Reasons to Prefer:1. Our conception of debate produces an agonistic politics – finding the hardest debate and trying to win is critical to personal growth.Yovel, Assistant professor, Faculty of Law, and coordinator of the law and philosophy program, University of Haifa, Israel, in ’3 2. Agonistic politics demands that ground be based on tradition. Otherwise our political community becomes meaninglessArendt, The New School for Social Research, in ’5 Refusal to defend the resolution is the affirmative’s method of silencing the negative and destroys fairnessGalloway 07 –professor of communication at Samford University (Ryan, and#34;Dinner and Conversation at the Argumentative Table: Reconceptualizing debate as an argumentative dialogueand#34;, Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, 2007, Vol. 28) Vote negative – their refusal to affirm the resolution excludes negative dialogue creating one sided debates which both destroy fairness and the pedagogical value of debate 3. Our understanding of politics can inspire compassion.Porter, head of the School of International Studies at the University of South Australia, 2006 ~Elisabeth, and#34;Can politics practice compassion?and#34; Hypatia Sep, p project muse~ And, especially in the context of policy debate.Greene, Pf Rhetoric at Minnesota, in ’05 | 9/22/13 |
