Affirmative teams should instrumentally defend topical action —- their failure to do so is a voting issue

The resolution indicates affs should advocate topical government change

Ericson 3 (Jon M., Dean Emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts – California Polytechnic U., et al., The Debater’s Guide, Third Edition, p. 4)
The Proposition of Policy: Urging Future Action In policy propositions, each topic contains
AND
compelling reasons for an audience to perform the future action that you propose. 

First, a limited topic of discussion that provides for equitable ground is key to productive inculcation of decision-making and advocacy skills in every and all facets of life—-even if their position is contestable that’s distinct from it being valuably debatable—-we do NOT force them back in the closet—-this still provides room for flexibility, creativity, and innovation, but targets the discussion

Debate is a means of settling differences, so there must be a difference of
AND
Congress to make progress on the immigration debate during the summer of 2007.

Second, discussion of specific policy-questions is crucial for skills development—-we control uniqueness: students already have preconceived ideological notions—-government policy discussion facilitates engagement with and resolution of competing perspectives to improve social outcomes—-it does NOT blame the individual for violence, but instead emphasizes individual AGENCY—-it breaks out of traditional pedagogical frameworks by positing students as agents of decision-making

Esberg 26 Sagan 12 *Jane Esberg is special assistant to the director at New York University’s Center on. International Cooperation. She was the winner of 2009 Firestone Medal, AND Scott Sagan is a professor of political science and director of Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation "NEGOTIATING NONPROLIFERATION: Scholarship, Pedagogy, and Nuclear Weapons Policy," 2/17 The Nonproliferation Review, 19:1, 95-108
These government or quasi-government think tank simulations often provide very similar lessons for
AND
allies and adversaries, would behave in response to US policy initiatives.7
By university age, students often have a pre-defined view of international affairs
AND
quickly; simulations teach students how to contextualize and act on information.14

Third, switch-side is key—-Effective deliberation is crucial to the activation of personal agency and is only possible in a switch-side debate format where debaters divorce themselves from ideology to engage in political contestation

Patricia Roberts-Miller 3 is Associate Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Texas "Fighting Without Hatred:Hannah Ar endt ’ s Agonistic Rhetoric" JAC 22.2 2003
Totalitarianism and the Competitive Space of Agonism Arendt is probably most famous for her analysis
AND
to be anyone who can explain, defend, and change the policies. 

And independently a voting issue for limits and ground—-our entire negative strategy is based on the "should" question of the resolution—-there are an infinite number of reasons that the scholarship of their advocacy could be a reason to vote affirmative—- these all obviate the only predictable strategies based on topical action—-they overstretch our research burden and undermine preparedness for all debates

Also extra-topicality is a voting issue – the idea that proving the plan is a bad idea isn’t sufficient to vote negative makes it impossible to be negative – they can just prove one random justification true which is unpredictable and violates the burden of the rejoinder

Effective decision-making outweighs—-

Key to social improvements in every and all facets of life – means we turn the case

Steinberg 26 Freeley 8 *Austin J. Freeley is a Boston based attorney who focuses on criminal, personal injury and civil rights law, AND David L. Steinberg , Lecturer of Communication Studies @ U Miami, Argumentation and Debate: Critical Thinking for Reasoned Decision Making pp9-10

Race oppression is used by capital to ideologically justify economic exploitation—the eradication of racism requires a totalizing critique of capitalism.

Economic engagement with Latin America fuels capitalist exploitation – the plan is used to make imperialist violence more efficient and invisible

But freedom and democracy under capitalism is only for the few who can afford it

imperialist brutality—it is appeasement of the violent democracy of the owners.

CAP IS THE ROOT CAUSEOF ALL THE RACISM. CAPITALIST JUSTIFICATIONS to go to other nations

Bruckner

The aff’s stigmatization of Europe as the sole evil oversimplifies the world situation – conversely it raises Europe’s arrogance as the martyr that drives the world while ignoring other non-European problems

Bruckner, French writer, 2010
(Pascal, 2010, A Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism, pg. 34-36, translated by Steven Rendall, JZ)

Thus we Euro-Americans are supposed to have only one obligation: endlessly atoning
AND
circumstances for them (which is a way of denying them all responsibility).
Thus it wants to be the sole seat of inhumanity in action and wears this
AND
see ourselves as the evil center of gravity on which the universe depends.
We need our clichés about the wretchedness of Africa, Asia, and Latin America
AND
sins, a strange way of inflating our puny selves to global dimensions.

Reject the affirmative to recognize the potential positive effects of the status quo order – penitence is a political act – the result is the crime of indifference in the face of atrocities – we have the obligation to promote freedom instead

Bruckner, French writer, 2010
(Pascal, 2010, A Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism, pg. 106-107, translated by Steven Rendall, JZ)
History offers us a twofold lesson: that a people can die, and that

Interpretation: Human rights engagement is not economic

Rose 26 Spiegel ’08 (Andrew K. Rose and Mark M. Spiegel, Non-Economic Engagement and International Exchange The Case of Environmental Treaties, July 17, 2008, http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/arose/RepRev.pdf, BG)
Countries, like people, interact with each other on a number of different dimensions
AND
relations. The answer, in both theory and practice, is positive.      

Violation:  The affirmative is human rights engagement, not economic engagement.

Standards

Limits – by limiting the topic to exclusively economic engagement we are making it predictable and accessible for the negative.  By expanding the topic to not only economic engagement but also human rights engagement the negative is exploding limits which hurts education.
Ground – key to neg ground.  They can sever out of DA and CP links by saying they are human rights engagement and not exclusively economic. This hurts fairness.

Voter: for fairness and education.

Security

Security is an illusion: threats to human safety are inevitable.  Evaluating worst-case scenarios is an actively bad form of policy making that exacerbates small problems into national catastrophes, turns the case
