Policy debate

I know that it sounds cliche, but for as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor. Luckily for me, “Employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations” (Bureau of Labor Statistics). After graduating from high school next May, I plan to major in Engineering, and then go on to Medical School in order to become a Neurosurgeon. After taking both the Gardner's Intelligence test and Myers-Briggs personality

In the roughly eleven-minute interview with my client, Alex, we discussed her need for case management services. She established her concerns that she wanted to address with me, as well as her current status in education, living arrangements, social supports, along with her history in the same areas. We also began to discuss (informally) the goals that she intends to reach with help of my services and other services she may be referred to. During the process, I learned about Alex’s strength and resilience

but I selected my group. I began by wanting one of the two boys in my group, because I wanted a male’s perspective throughout the project. I decided I wanted to work with Adam because I had witnessed him ask challenging questions and succeed in debates with previous professors, all characteristics I thought could be beneficial at the time. With choosing Adam came Matt, because since they were the only two males in a lecture dominated by females. Lastly, Alex decided she wanted to work with me because

never-before-seen confidence, so strong it could almost be tasted. It was as he said this that he stepped up to the podium. We were in debate class, ready to have the first debate of the year. Two people per group, with a week of preparation. Our topic: Euthanasia. I thought back to the time my father told me about his debate class experiences. In an impromptu debate on the same topic, his friend began a speech on youth in Asia! I gave a small chuckle, not knowing that it would be the last time I would

In 2017, it seems engagement in controversial discourse is the ultimate taboo. In fear of offending others, youth avoid discussions of religion, political opinions, and economic problems altogether. Or, in contrast, discussions of these topics turn hostile and have to be extinguished in the classroom. The result of this problem is that many young people do not know what they truly think about controversial topics, and a generation of apathetic thinkers that never go beyond the mainstream media for

there are still on going debates where people want their society to fall on that spectrum, some would rather have more liberty and others more security. In 2016 the Free Speech Debate put out a video debating whether no-platforming should be practised at universities. No-platforming can be defined a strategy that argues that certain peoples should not be given a platform to speak in a certain social space due to their rhetoric constituting hate speech . Both sides of the debate, the pro no-platforming

and speakers today are discriminated against in classrooms and other scenes where free speech and debate should be especially cherished. In 2017 alone, there have been multiple riots born of originally peaceful protests. Students in Middlebury College in Vermont revolted at a peaceful debate with far-right Charles Murray. While Murray tried to reach his building, a mob formed, forcing him and his debate-partner, Allison Stanger, to move to another building (Beinhart np). When Murray and Stanger tried

The host and moderator sits in the middle between the two other cast members. The majority of this was assumingly done on purpose by FS1 as “Undisputed” was created almost nine years after ESPN’s first debate show. However, in order to reach ESPN’s success, you need to format your show similar to theirs, as Jim Shea’s article discussed. FS1, saw the masses of sports fans gravitating towards “First Take”, and realized in order to stay relevant in the new age of media new programming had to be brought

Speech and debilitate I am afraid of many things; I fear heights, large crowds, death even fucking moths, all of which I have justifiable reasons for but my biggest fear the fear of public speaking is nonsensical. I know it is a ridiculous fear there is no inherent danger involved in speaking publicly it’s no different from a personal conversation just louder but for some reason I can’t get over it and trust me I’ve tried. In my senior year of high school, I was given a throw away assignment something

To be literate, is not just the ability to read and write. It is something I think more than that. It involves a very intricate mechanics of linguistics, but eventually form a sophisticated yet beautiful form of language usage. I was not born with literacy sense. I gained reading skills from bedtime stories by my parents and eventually learned formally to read and write at school. From that, I was able to mold my style of writing with the help of the teachers. I believe that most of us have been
