I think we shouldn’t
I think we shouldn’t debate such motions as smoking should be banned in public places..cuz’ it is so old-fashioned.Personally,I think global warming is a good issue,we are talking about it on all levels.I think global warming is a result of development of all fields,not only economy.Cuz all growth is a chain,like food chain.If we are so concerned about the harmful effects it brings us,we will surely feel more worried if we stop our developments to prevent global warming.Then what?
It’s a really hot issue
It’s a really hot issue and it was debated in the grand final of 2007 worlds debating championship in Vancouver. THB that economic development is the solution to climate change. Your suggestion is highly appreciated and I’m looking forward more such good ideas…
Should the topics focus on Chinese society?
Actually I went to different debate forum and found that the debate topics in China are so different from what are currently hot in US or others. This is really a question. Should we focus on the currently hot issues on China now so that candidates have more to talk about or should we shift our focus a little to talk more about not only Chinese society, but maybe history, science, international relationship, etc. Here are a few topics I am thinking of now, mostly based on Chinese campus and society. 1. Should the government allow free competition in industries such as telecom, railway transportation or should they be controlled solely by the state? 2. Should the curriculum in Chinese colleges be arranged in a way to allow all students to choose the teacher they prefer most in the same course? 3. Should the activities held by the Students’ Body in colleges be more profit-based to support themselves or should the school authorities provide more funds to forbid the profit seeking behaviour?
Another one
Another one closely related with No. 2 above: Should academics in college be paid according to their performance? Typically such professionals are employed by the state and paid according to their experience and seniority, rather than by results, and higher rewards are gained through taking on more management responsibilities rather than through improved performance in the same job. In Britain and the USA, performance-related pay for teachers and academic lecturers has become a big issue in the last decade. I believe in China sooner or later or perhaps is just coming.
here is one motion
This house believes that “an eye for an eye” policy is moral.
I think the topic should be
I think the topic should be more official since this is a parliament debate. Here are some motions that i think worth debating: 1 Should criminals be commuted by pay the victims money? 2 Should the net-speak be banned in college entrance exam?
this house believes that
why are so many value motions
there are too many value motions!
Suggested Motion
This house wouldn’t support Starbarks opened in the Forbidden City.
more motions
Well, I have to say it’s really difficult to think of good motions. It cannot be too narrow or specialized as to make all the debaters wordless; it cannot be too broad as to make the motion itself meaningless; also it cannot touch some subtle and sensitive areas such as politics or religion. It’s really difficult.
Recommended topics
1.This house should make suicide a criminal offence. 2.This house Should justify that the private lives of public figures be open to press scrutiny. 3.This house should ban drivers from using mobile phones when they are driving.
This house believe that
This house believe that cheating in exams is criminal offence
I am really glad to
I am really glad to join the discussions with all the passionate english lovers and maybe some witty debaters here.Personally i have a great liking for watching presidential debates in United States and parliamentary debates in British politics.
Concerning motions,i have some in my mind which i can not sure is proper and standard-abiding and revelant to the identity of the debaters.
My motions are as follows:
This house believes that china should reduce the death toll of accidents related to coal mines at all costs.
This house believes that gay marriage must be stapulated clear to be banned in the Marriage Law.
This house believes that the best way to stamp out academic cheats is to impose more harsher punishments.
This house believes that the developing countries should fulfil the same obligations to curb the global warming and climate changes.
This house believes that we shall not attribute the climate changes to the industrialization of the developing countries.
This house believes that china should ban the use of disposable daily products.
This house believes that abortion should be banned in china considering more and more hospitals provide such kind of service.
This house believes that the old widowers or widows shall have free choice to have their late life companions.
This house believes that china should lopside the education support and funding to the rural areas.
This house believes that the migrant workers should be entitled to enjoy the same benefits of urban boom.
