1AC - Mexican Water AffirmativeTournament: Smithson Valley | Round: 1 | Opponent: Reagan HV | Judge: Phillip Dipiazza The disastrous state of Mexican water negatively affects aspects of millions of Mexicans’ lives, from their economic situations to their survival. Millions of rural Mexicans are at risk...grossly unequal. Our system of capitalism makes it so poor and rural communities are denied clean water. Water provided to urban areas isn’t substantially superior in any way. Rooted at the center of these problems is a lack of financial resources. Decentralization became the guiding principal behind...quality in rural communities. Thus the plan: The United States federal government should substantially increase economic engagement by providing aid and cooperating to improve water infrastructure and sanitation to Mexico. The Advantage is Disease Drinking water in Mexico is highly contaminated with pollutants and chemicals. Regarding the water quality...environmentally exposed populations. Numerous diseases are commonly linked to Mexican water. Mexico: food or waterborne diseases acquired...from Senegal east to Ethiopia. Mexican water contains high counts of parasites. The drinking water in Mexico...was so rudely repaid. The Swine Flu Epidemic was linked to improper sanitation of Mexican water. link the swine flu epidemic to water...primarily to blame for the outbreak. We have a moral obligation to provide water, it is essential to health. Did you know that half of...developing parts of the world. Lack of clean water leads to a lack of equality and education, which are fundamental rights. Women are disproportionately neglected for they are expected try to find some clean water. Clean water breaks the cycle of poverty. Education is critical for...situation later in life. Rural areas are disproportionately neglected in quality and quantity of water, which has contributed to starvation. It takes huge amounts of water...physical and economic scarcity. Contention Two is Solvency AFF plan solves – Substantially increased funding is essential to provide ALL Mexicans clean, sterile water. Total investment in the sector was...in levels of waste water treatment. Sanitation efforts are proven to solve for the disease in Mexican waters. M Colford Jr, research conducted...to reach firm conclusions. US is Key -- US engagement sustains long-term cooperation with Mexico while promoting successful integration and improving the lives of Mexicans effectively. The Presidents of the United States and Mexico...sleeping giant of North America. Contention Three is Impact Framing Debate is an activity full of fiction. Rounds at every tournament, every weekend are won on absurd impacts. Since the early twentieth century when policy debate began, hundreds of thousands of debaters have been winning on countless extinction impacts that their brink evidence insisted were to happen immediately. And how many of these countless extinction impacts have we seen occur? ZERO. Debate is a world that teaches us that because one small act isn’t passed in congress, all the world’s super powers engage in an all out nuclear war. It teaches us that you can win on internal link chains longer than War and Peace. But outside of the rounds, debaters, judges, and coaches all know that we live in a world where these predicted impacts will never occur. This is in large part due to the complex world we live in. In the complicated, complex world we live in, all types of predictions – economic, political, geological, biological, and more – are all doomed to failure. There also were the widespread...will depend on us. Predictions fail and cause bad politics In many cases, a small choice...governed by the same causal relationships. Instead of focusing on far-fetched predictions, which fail, we should focus on the impacts of the AFF because cleaning the water in Mexico will alleviate the individuals suffering in the status quo. When you try to predict complex things, you smooth over oppression, which means we’ll value 1 risk scenarios over giving people water, which we have a moral obligation to do. “1” risk calculus makes decision-making impossible – prefer the AFF’s impacts, which are already occurring. Tom Friedman's piece today in the Times...(just barely) to take action. The prior question is whether the plan on its-face affirms a worthy ethical principle. To void this obligation in the name of future consequences is literally an absurd notion — it fails to establish any coherent moral framework and makes your decision impossible To choose an act which...as an end and never as a means only'.12 | 3/18/14 |
1AC - Cuba Embargo China Adv and Oil AdvTournament: Saint Marys Hall | Round: 1 | Opponent: Round Rock BH | Judge: Nick Vail The United States has maintained strict sanctions on Cuba for more than half a century. Despite the fact that the U.S. embargo has been a total failure, Congress will not repeal the embargo. That said, there’s an even better...political room to move. Therefore we offer the following plan: Advantage One is China First is uniqueness - - the U.S. needs to lift the embargo in order to exclude China from Cuba and break their military alliance. China’s intelligence operations...military aid to the Castro regime. Second, China’s economic course necessitates aggression, making a peaceful rise impossible. 3 Myth: China is committed...China's soft-power slips globally. And China wants to attack/go to war with the U.S. Since then, we have been hearing bold...increasingly rough game of politics. Third, the plan solves – increasing U.S. presence on the island is key to crowd out Chinese influence in Cuba. Without the plan, China will continue spying on the U.S. at Cuba, intercepting U.S. information, and will continue developing warfare capabilities to use in a war against the U.S. China's presence in Cuba is rather significant...the scope of this rather disturbing operation. Last, war between the US and China leads to extinction. THE high-intensity scenario...see the destruction of civilization Advantage Two is Oil Spills Offshore oil drilling is inevitable in Cuba – lifting the embargo is key to prevent and contain oil spills. US expertise is key to prevent an oil spill in Cuba. But what struck me this...any dealings with Cuba. The embargo limits and delays US response to spills – the plan is necessary for sustained involvement in safety and regulations across the region. WASHINGTON — As exploratory oil drilling...are issues for debate." Cuban oil spills collapse Floridian ecosystems – the plan prevents and mitigates the impact to spills. To protect the national interest...in the event of a crisis. Florida is a unique biodiversity hotspot. "Biodiversity hot spots are areas...the water is contaminated by pollutants. The impact is extinction. The hotspots are the world’s...therefore supported by this¶ study. | 3/18/14 |
