The AffTournament: ASU | Round: 1 | Opponent: We read this every Aff round | Judge: The criminal enforcement of patent laws on Mexico necessitates a trade-off between intellectual property rights and public health. And the designation as a Special 301 country allows the United States to extract sanctions without any check or balance. This is inherently protectionistic. Plan: The United States federal government will remove Mexico from the list of countries under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to allow for looser patent protection for pharmaceuticals and will provide technical assistance in the development of Mexico’s pharmaceutical patent structure. Contention 2 – Disease Independently, the threat of sanctions causes an increase in prices for pharmaceuticals and a reduction in the availability of treatment. Non-communicable diseases, NCDs, are the leading cause of death in Mexico. However this trend is reversible. . There is a moral obligation to help alleviate medical conditions in Mexico that the United States helped create. This perspective is critical to understanding and critically examining transnational relationships in a just manner. Docteur 07 And Mexico says yes – in 2010 the Mexican government amended their IP laws to try to get off Special 301. Contention 3 – Framing And no link uniqueness – the US and Mexico have been engaged in economic, trilateral talks about TPP and diplomacy – this thumps any way the plan would change relations. B – Impact framing
Worst case thinking is incomparable, its infinitely regressive and encourages social inaction The nuclear age has made war unlikely, even more unlikely is escalation, cold war proves No nuclear war – deterrence | 2/19/14 |
Womyn in DebateTournament: Shadow Mountain | Round: Finals | Opponent: River Valley | Judge: First is our perspective Sanctions have a disproportionate impact on womyn. They are typically created with no input from womyn and lead to the systematic exclusion of the expression of womyn from policies that create disparate impacts. A solution must be sought – failure to propose a plan to solve this disparate impact is complicity with the system. Deconstructing the force that suppresses womyn leads to empathy, which can solve back all possible problems. The question of economic sanctions is the perfect time to evaluate the place of the female voice. It is a practical area of examination, it is complex enough to allow fair debate, and it is central to many questions of feminist thought. We don’t mean to privilege this movement, trying to divide groups empirically fail, groups need to accept each other’s plight as part of their own movement toward progress. Next is The Metaphor Economic engagement policies are the metaphor of which we speak. Policies of sanctions necessarily engage in the dominant-subordinate relationship and reinforce the dominant expression. Economic engagement is the necessary step. When rules exist to stop participation, the “sanctioned” is subordinated even if they participate because they did not make the rules. The membership of the subordinated community is removed. Metaphors are inevitable, we use them in all forms of communication. The question becomes what metaphors we choose to identify and construct our perspective around. Anything else cedes our potential to challenge the status quo metaphor. Our metaphor and affirmation is that of the voice of womyn in debate. Currently the policies, procedures, and norms of policy debate uniquely sanction the participation of the oppressed. We who have been on the inside of the activity have allowed these roles to continue and exclusion to be the norm. It is in such that our metaphorical elimination of sanctions on Cuba functions to unmask the ways in which we have suppressed womyn in the debate. We ask for the end to the embargo – stop the sanctions – cease the oppression – we must stop the current framing of debate as those who are men setting the rules and those who are “not men” following the rules. That’s the role of the ballot – to use the ballot to endorse an end to the suppressing of exression by sanctions, both within the debate community and the United States federal government. Finally, it goes beyond the metaphor back to the political. Our elimination of the embargo – the listening to the expression of womyn in debate – spills out of the debate round and into the larger arena. The solution to sexism within the debate community will never be realized until we draw attention to it. Our discourse, actions, re-actions, selection of arguments, and choice of careers influence what the future looks like regarding female participation in this great activity. We have the ability to influence a lot more than just this round, we must get started now. Griffin and Raider explain in 1989 The use of metaphors allows a better understanding of the topic – the portable benefit is greater knowledge retention – this means metaphors are key. Lastly Framing The roll of the ballot is to discursively create a counter-hegemonic metaphor where sanctions against the participation of womyn in debate is able to be reconsidered. And put away all your framework arguments – we will let you read any argument against lifting the embargo that you want to – the question should be how we apply those statements onto how debate functions – This is key to both understand the metaphor and to mobilize people around the question of this movement. In other words, if you want to read your politics disad that’s fine – you just have to relate it to our metaphor and what the scenario means in context of this round and community. Use it as a metaphor too. This acknowledges that fiat is an illusion, while simultaneously letting you read your policy oriented literature. And, there are bigger issues that need to be dealt with. The issue is that the debate community values the opinions and ideas of men over the ideas and opinions of womyn. Let us be very clear from the beginning... the premise of our argument is that the ballot in this round should be used to endorse that womyn need to be included in the discussion of all topics. You should vote for us to endorse the project. We are not saying that the negative team necessarily engages in this practice, nor are we saying that they themselves are sexist. What we are saying is that in a world where constant sexism is prevalent in our debate community you should send a clear signal that it is more important to be good people then it is to say that some theoretical government should pass some plan that won't really happen. Each action is key. A vote to uphold the diversity is the first and needed step to understanding anything about the policy type actions that may be accounted for when you vote. | 3/19/14 |
