1NC Octas ASUTournament: ASU | Round: Octas | Opponent: Brophy MS | Judge: Barnum, Chotras, Sannes 1Contention One: Our InterpretationA. Interpretation: The Aff should have to defend a normative interpretation of the resolution. I.e. the affirmative is required to advocate a increase in economic engagement, and the affirmative must defend that their plan should be adopted by the United States Federal Government.B. Our interpretation is Grounded in the Resolution1. The topic is defined by the phrase following the colon—the USFG is the agent of the resolution, not the individual debatersWebster’s Guide to Grammar and Writing 2k Use of a colon before a list or an explanation that is preceded by a 2. The United States Federal Government is the one in D.C.ENCARTA WORLD ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA, 2006, p. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_1741500781/United_States_(Government).html 3. Should implies policy – it expresses that the government has a duty or obligationAmerican Heritage Dictionary of the English Language04 should (shd) Pronunciation C. Violation –1. The affirmative fails to defend a fiat based interpretation of their plan text through the federal government.Contention Two: Reasons to PreferPlan texts that are based in the resolution are critical to a fair debate – it’s a voting issue.1. Predictability-A. the resolution sets the topic for discussion- not having a plan text it impossible for the negative to engage the affirmative. There are an infinite amount of non-policy advocacies unrelated to the topic which are impossible to predict- this leaves the negative unprepared to debateB. Exploding predictable limits neutralizes the discursive benefits to debate and renders their advocacy meaningless—only our interpretation preserves the revolutionary potential of a deliberative activityRuth Shively, former professor of political science at Texas A26M, 2000 (Political Theory and Partisan Politics p. 180) Thus far, I have argued that if the ambiguists mean to be subver¬sive about C. Aff conditionality- only a resolutionally-based plan prevents shifting advocacies- their framework allows aff vagueness, enabling the aff to become a moving target which destroys discussion, advocacy skills and fair groundD. The resolution presents an agreed question which is the focus of the debate. Debate is worthless without the predictability that is necessary to generate a starting point for discussionRuth Shively, former professor of political science at Texas A26M, 2000 (Political Theory and Partisan Politics p. 181-2) E. Unpredictable or unfair debates preclude an informed discussion that allows us to critically examine their approach- this prevents informed clash which outweighs all other impacts - fairness is a prerequisite because we can’t test the truth-value of an argument or advocacy without rigorously examining it.2. Education -A. policy options are key to real world education about possible reforms- their framework devastates learning about the real world with reciprocal and clear deliberation about the merits of an ideaB. Topical Education—by manipulating the topic to access their political project they skirt debate about the implementation of policies by the government. Their education is distrusting of institutional study and pragmatic reform. Even if their intentions are noble, their message results in fascist totalitarianismMartin W. Lewis, Professor of Geography and Regional Science at George Washington University, 1992 (Green Delusions: An Environmentalist Critique of Radical Environmentalism. Page 247) A majority of those born between 1960 and 1980 seem to tend toward cynicism, C. Implementation- the aff will always win the principles of their advocacy are good in the abstract- we can only debate the merits of arguments if they defend the specific consequences of political implementationMichael Ignatieff, Harvard Carr Center for Human Rights Policy director and human rights practices professor, 04 (The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics in an Age of Terror, 20-21) D. Informed Citizens - Fiat is key to being informed citizens, without it we never learn about the political process and don’t take responsibility for the possible bad outcomes of our actions. Simulating policy solves all their offense, allowing people a safe space to test new ideasChristopher C. Joyner, Professor of International Law in the Government Department at Georgetown University, Spring 1999 (Teaching International Law: Views From An International Relations Political Scientist, 5 ILSA J Int’l 26 Comp L 377) Use of the debate can be an effective pedagogical tool for education in the social E. Reciprocal literature- the work of policy advocates and critical speculators are from two different fields and can’t be judged by the same standards of proof- this lowers the burdens of proof for them, which is unfair and should be rejectedKatsulas, Herbeck, 26 Panetta, professors of communication, 1987 There are two methodological differences to note in this regard. One is that policy 2The liberal concept of equity assumes an impossible rational subject that can withdraw from the coordinates of the system – we instead must interrogate the false connection between desire and the "true interests" of the communityZizek 93 ~Slavoj Zizek. "Tarrying with the Negative." 1993. http://www.revalvaatio.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/EFBFBDiEFBFBDek-tarrying-with-the-negative.pdf~~ AP The impact is violence – as the fantasy fails the only option is to find an external enemy to blame in order to sustain our internal conception of totalityStavrakakis 99 ~Yannis Stavrakakis, member of the Essex School of Discourse Analysis. "Lacan 26 the Political." Routledge.~ AP The alternative is to engage in the Act – in the face of the decision of action presented by the 1AC, we instead make the impossible Third choice to disengage from the moment and reorient ourselves in terms of the problem – only then can we disengage from fantasyZizek 06 ~Slavoj Zizek. "The Parallax View." MIT Press. February 17, 2006.~ AP 3The culture of fear is a product of liberalism that finds its culmination in the fear of death. This culture of fear sustains the politics of being-for-death which creates the very insecurity, perpetual war, and suffering the affirmative attempts to solve. By defining life in relation to death and suffering the affirmative gives death permanence and traps us in the politics of being-for-death.Bell 07 Vote negative to create a space for a new political order affirmed through the politics of being-for-life found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The truth-event of the resurrection is a radical act of affirmation that denies death and suffering meaning and ruptures the affirmative’s politics of negation with the relentless affirmation of life that overcomes the politics of fear and allows ceaseless giving in the face of terror.Bell 07 | 1/16/14 |
Round 2 - GlenbrooksTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Niles North EB | Judge: Worku, Robel The affirmative attempts to suppress volatility through economic engagement and foreign relations while ignoring the complexity of the system – this will result in unpredictable and unending catastrophes and serial policy failure The alternative is to reject the affirmative and embrace volatility – in our world of modernity, things actually gain from disorder and uncertainty – the 1AC or any permutation would cause disaster and destroy our ability to benefit from these anti-fragile systems Text: The United States federal government should incentivize the development and use of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Technology in the United States. | 11/23/13 |
Round 2 - St MarksTournament: St Marks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Athens MM | Judge: Marrianetti, Jado Reject the aff- Moral duty to shun Interpretation – Economic engagement is distinct from political engagement. Violation: Economic engagement is distinct from diplomatic or military engagement. Text: The United States federal government should propose to the Organization of American States that the United States federal government should remove Cuba from the list of countries subject to economic penalties governed by Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act. The Counterplan solves the entire Aff and is net beneficial – OAS involvement strengthens multilateralism and solves further problems Even as Latin America expands its global reach and presence, … interests and wellbeing. It is time to seize the moment and overhaul hemispheric relations. Humanitarian rhetoric masks the false neutralization of the situation – the world can never be framed into an object to be fixed by a neutral third party – leads to the worst forms of intervention and ignores the actual problem The impact is violence – as the fantasy fails the only option is to find an external enemy to blame in order to sustain our internal conception of totality The alternative is to engage in the Act – in the face of the decision of action presented by the 1AC, we instead make the impossible Third choice to disengage from the moment and reorient ourselves in terms of the problem – only then can we disengage from fantasy DOD budget is aligned towards Asia pivot in the sequester, but new trade-offs kill the strategy – sudden fiscal uncertainty escalates The plan causes massive trade-offs which undermine the military budget Resourced strategic pivot is necessary for East Asian stability – solves multiple scenarios for nuclear war | 11/23/13 |
Round 4 - St MarksTournament: St Marks | Round: 4 | Opponent: Greenhill ML | Judge: Heidt, David US–Latin America relations are routinely managed …priorities will shift much after the November 2012 elections. President Obama’s National Security Strategy released on Thursday has … well, renewing American power starts with welcoming foreign talent to America’s shore. A. Interpretation: Economic aid is separate from economic engagement DOD budget is aligned towards Asia pivot in the sequester, but new trade-offs kill the strategy – sudden fiscal uncertainty escalates The plan causes massive trade-offs which undermine the military budget Resourced strategic pivot is necessary for East Asian stability – solves multiple scenarios for nuclear war Disease discourse is embedded in the fear of the other – justifies endless destruction. Our alternative is to reject the discourse of disease; that prevents mass murder and otherization. | 11/23/13 |
Round 6 - St MarksTournament: St Marks | Round: 6 | Opponent: Grapevine KS | Judge: Garrett, Lincoln US–Latin America relations are …much after the November 2012 elections. E) Extinction Interpretation – Economic engagement is distinct from cultural engagement, which includes student exchanges CP Text: The United States federal government should authorize the Department of Defense to pursue increase prompt global strike capabilities Proponents of the PGS mission argue that there is an immediate, …such as the amount of time required for finding a target. 12 Disorder and insecurity are inevitable but efforts to control this fear have resulted in the deaths of millions the possibility of our utter annhiliation. Instead seeking this impossible fantasy where we are able to suppress and control conflict—the alternative is to affirm difference. This will allow us the break out of the infinite cycle of violence that created their harms in the first place The world is inherently relativistic—competing value systems guarantee wars between states. When the mission of statehood goes beyond protection of the state to protection of civilization it escalates warfare by framing others as outside the liberal order | 11/23/13 |
