This House Regrets the narrative of deference to one's elders (e.g "older people are more experienced," "your parents know best" etc)
Round 2
This house believes that developing nations with budding esports communities (i.e., Turkey, Vietnam, Pakistan) should cut funding for popular sports that they perform poorly in (tennis, football etc.) and invest in the development of esports instead
Round 3
This House Prefers a world in which each religion is structured around a single, strong governing authority rather than a world where religions are disorganised and/or decentralised.
Info Slide
Infoslide: Some religions have a single, strong governing authority, such as the Pope in Catholicism. Other religions are decentralised (e.g. Islam, which has many leaders) or disorganised (e.g. Hinduism, which does not have dominant leaders).
Round 4
In disaster-prone areas, This House Would replace all state rebuilding and reconstruction efforts with direct cash transfers to affected citizens.
Octofinals
Taking a break in the context of a relationship means that both partners have agreed to temporarily pause their romantic relationship. This involves taking time apart to reflect on their feelings, address personal issues, and often, consider whether they want to continue the relationship in the future
Quarterfinals
This House, as the environmentalist movement, Would focus on advocating their interests through separate political parties (‘Green Parties’) rather than lobbying mainstream political parties to adopt more pro-environment policies
Semifinals
This House as the extremely successful female debater would take the Gleeson offer
Info Slide
You are a recently graduated extremely successful female schools debater in a developing country. You are staying in your city for your education, and your local debate circuit is famously difficult for women to get hired in coaching positions which are some of more lucrative jobs you can have as a university student. You've been offered a job at Gleeson College, an all boys school which is hundreds of years old and has a historically successful (but currently underwhelming) debate team. The school is notorious for misogyny amongst its students. The pay is fairly significant and it is extremely unlikely you will get a separate debate coaching job
Grand Final
In the absence of a will stating otherwise, This House Believes That families should have access to and ownership of all digital property and information (e.g. emails, documents, digital art/manuscripts) of their deceased relatives.
