O1
Dear Jury, honorable chairman, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. As just stated, today we will be discussing the following motion: “Quick Service companies should involve employees in their environmental scanning process.”
First I would like to rebut on what has been mentioned by the Opposition so far, then I will present the case for us as an opposition and finally I will state the reasons why we are against it. (These will be our labels)
P – You might, for example, address the ‘Opportunity’ as presented by P1 and argue that it isn’t really an opportunity at all.

Your next option is to ‘attack’ P1’s strategy proposal or their competitive method itself. Perhaps P1’s plan is missing parts (Who? How? ...)
Now, let me elaborate a little bit more on the first label (name the label again)
According to Olsen, the backbone of Strategic Development suggests that you need to have in general three main skills to scan the environment:
Need to identify forces that drive change through robust scanning efforts (relate to remote and task environment)
Ability to understand and estimate their timing
Capability to estimate the impact they will have on the firm.
Do you really that people working on an operational level in this type of industry actually possess skills and capabilities like this? Usually, people working in this type of industry have low education levels – that’s why they ended up there.

If I were at that hospital clear cut rules would be discussed regarding premature infant deaths along with sensitivity training. Check points would be set up so that family would not have access to the actual areas where these infants were held after their passing. A separate room would be set aside to facilitate this type of viewing.
Maria A. Cardona, write this opinion to support the majority opinion on the case of T.M v. State of Florida.
Political parties mobilize voters to win elections and implement policy goals. Parties use their stated policy goals (i.e., their platforms) as a way to mobilize voter support. Generally, in order to be successful in a two-party system, parties must have policy goals across a broad range of issue areas to appeal to a broad range of voters.
Have you heard about the Korematsu v U.S Case in the papers lately? I have. It is all the rage lately, and there are such mixed signals on which side people support, it’s like a vegetable soup. Whereas, I am absolutely certain where my support is going to…more specifically, the dissenting opinion of this case. You must listen to my ranting, or I am afraid I might become senile keeping all these thoughts to myself. In any case, I have two reasons why I support the dissenting side.
The wind was whipping fiercely when Nikki Maratea, her younger sister Alex, and Nikki's 3-week-old son Derrian went to catch an elevated train in Philadelphia near the home they shared with their mother. Thinking she had put the brake on the stroller, Nikki, 20, let it go to argue with the cashier, who insisted she pay the $2 fare before moving to the platform. A moment later Alex, then 10, looked toward her nephew—but he and his stroller were gone. "I said, 'Nikki,'" Alex recalls, "'where's the baby?'"

Successful organisations realise that identifying and developing a strategy in these three separate areas is
The companies that successfully implement scanning are more likely not to miss essential information and thus to act effectively as they know “what is going on” (Slaughter, 1999, p.442). A positive correlation
-Some may disagree with me because banning larger drinks will just make people buy more smaller sized drinks allowing them to take in more sugar and calories.
Conflict is inevitable in any personal relationship or among members of any group. While we encounter many types of conflict in our lifetime, we often look for ways to avoid conflict. So, why do we run away from dealing with our conflict? It is often because many of us fear the conflict will escalate into a situation we will not be able to sustain. “As conflicts escalate, they go through certain incremental transformations. Although these transformations occur separately on each side, they affect the conflict as a whole because they are usually mirrored by the other side. As a result of these transformations, the conflict is intensified in ways that are sometimes exceedingly difficult to undo” (Pruitt, and Kim 89). We
This film focuses on being a confident and decisive person in life, through passionate and informed topics. Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain the listeners.¹ After watching this film it does strike a cord of wanting to be able to reach out to others and share my own opinions in a strong, confident manner. To inspire others on something I may be passionate about in life, to share a different aspect of life that others have not lived.

For learners the objectives of learning and development are to develop new skills leading to growth in their professional or personal life.
