Policy debate

Henry Martyn Robert, author of Robert’s Rules of Order was born in 1837 and died in 1923, and a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the Civil War. In 1863 he was asked to chair a local town meeting at a church in New Bedford, Massachusetts but didn’t know how to preside. He assumed the assembly would behave, but the meeting was a disaster, lasted 14 hours and really didn’t accomplish anything. General Robert was very frustrated and vowed to never again attend another meeting until he knew

For generations, the topic of “utopia” has been discussed. Most commonly we are reminded of a perfect place that cannot exist when we hear the term. What would be your perfect place? What would be your Utopia? In this paper, when we refer to utopia, we will be considering a self-sufficient society that is morally perfect, helping each and every member of the population to be the best person he or she can be. There will be no poverty, no war and no hate. The people of our utopia will be happy with

Over the past couple of years, I have watched numerous political debates, from social issues to economic policies. I have watched debates between the quick-speaking Ben Shapiro, and the bullish Cenk Uygur. Cenk always makes a statement, and when given counter-evidence, his only reply is “Google it”. Shapiro throws out three or even four pieces of evidence for every point he makes. When Cenk gets upset, he lashes out at the crowd; Shapiro remains level-headed and only attacks the argument.

Over the years, there have been many debates over the implementation of school uniform policies in our schools. Opinions are formed about the appearance of uniforms powerful effects on the way in which a student should dress. This significant role of attire relates to how students could relay a message to themselves and others. In addition, uniforms are one of the most serious administrative concerns in our public school system. I strongly favor the fact that school uniforms are perfect because they

made to finding a common platform for future product development. Ideally, the debate should continue towards resolution, but if the parties seem as if they are polarizing or digging in, the instructor may intervene and ask if this is the way things work in ABB. Since Gundemark is likely to be in the minority, the instructor may ask what kinds of incentives, compromises or persuasions he may use to shift the debate. One obvious lever for Gundemark to use is his agreement to send two of his technical

Racism has been an issue that has caused controversial debates for years. It is a topic that stirs up lots of emotions within people and continues to be an argument for all. When there has been a shooting between a white and a colored or a cop and a colored person, people blame it on racism. They state that since the white cop shot the black man it simply means the cop was racist. Then the people want to speak that justice needs to be served and the cop needs to be put in prison or released from

The book Gender of the Gift by the Marilyn Strathern is a detailed evaluation of the problems faced by women and the society at large in Melanesia. The study mainly focuses on the native’s culture with the guinea mead’s field report as the center of interest. The report encompasses mead’s adolescence and sexual traits. The book also reviews several other anthropological reports all around the area. The way in which the author reveals the state of the art is quite confusing although the method of

ideologies about religion, science, and the world today. Students develop arguments (not opinions!) about aforementioned themes (i.e. religion, science, power, traditions, professionalism, separation of beliefs and state, etc.). They utilize discussions, debates, current events, and our readings of the play “Inherit the Wind” to develop these notions. Students support their claims with concrete, relevant evidence and quotes from a wide array of valid, credible sources (both written and graphic). Students

There have been a number of studies done to show how the amount of space that is available in a classroom can have an effect on the behavior of the students and the overall environment of the classroom. In 2003, Duncanson found that classroom space impacts how teachers and students behave. He found that classrooms with small amounts of space were prone to have inefficient pathways and look cluttered. In part, it was found that this situation was caused by the large amount of room teachers reserved

In preparation for my debate on the topics of intelligence-led policing and Compstat policing, I have discovered the many advantages and disadvantages of using intelligence-led policing and Compstat policing. According to Carter & Carter (2009), intelligence-led policing is the collection of and analysis of data relating to crime, used by law enforcement in “developing tactical responses to threats and/or strategic planning related to emerging changing threats” (p. 317). When applied correctly, intelligence-led
