Positions

This position holds that a Covid-19 vaccine will not erase the changes the pandemic brought to daily life. It argues some shifts are permanent — remote work as the norm, masks more widely worn — and that a single, hard-to-roll-out vaccine will not by itself restore the old normal.

Our societies inevitably shifts towards a world government

This position names Aaron Kosminski as Jack the Ripper. It points to his being a prime suspect of contemporary police inspectors, and to later DNA analysis of a shawl said to belong to the Ripper's fourth victim, which proponents argue ties Kosminski to the crimes.

Under Trump's "America First" policy, he withdrew from international agreements and institutions, reversing and unravelling decades of US engagement with the international community.

Abortion is a matter of preventing cells from continuing to grow. Some arguments for the ethicality of abortion are arguments for the potential parent's right to control their body and arguments for fetuses not being human beings.

If a fetus has not developed enough to be considered a child or if it threatens the life of the mother, then she has the right to choose an abortion. Additionally, if the mother is raped, then it would be ethical for her not to bear the consequences of something over which she had no control.

From the moment of conception, a fetus is a child with all of the rights of any person. A fetus will grow up to be just like any other person and could have a meaningful future, and abortion is also religiously unacceptable. As such, abortion is unethical.

This position holds that abortion should be illegal, as morally and ethically wrong. Its arguments contend that a foetus is a person who can feel pain, that adoption is always an alternative, that many women come to regret abortions, and that it is impermissible within many religious beliefs.

This position holds that abortion should be permitted only in extreme situations. It argues that termination is justified in cases such as rape or incest, when the pregnancy endangers the mother's life, or in some cases of severe foetal disability — balancing the rights of two individuals.

This position holds that abortion should be legal. It argues that the choice belongs to the woman as a matter of bodily autonomy, that pregnancy carries real health risks, that banning abortion drives women to unsafe procedures, and that the state should not impose religious morality.

This position favours absolute monarchy, among the oldest systems of government, centred on a single leader and a unified populace. It argues monarchy allows laws to be passed quickly and fosters a strong sense of national unity and shared pride.

This position holds that building a better post-pandemic world means addressing social and financial inequity. It argues that so much inequality is baked into human life, and that global solidarity, fighting poverty, and a more equal distribution of wealth are what we must work on next.

Diagnosing a child or adult with ADHD is harmful. The symptoms associated with ADHD are strikingly similar to other disorders, or could be caused by other conditions, such as depression or anxiety. The diagnosis of ADHD should be discontinued by health professionals, as it undermines other possible conditions.

ADHD is a valid condition that should be treated. Children and adults diagnosed with ADHD have benefitted from treatment and continue to live healthy, normal lives. Denying the existence of ADHD is detrimental to those who have been diagnosed with the disorder, as it negates their mental health.

Disclosing a disability can be necessary to explain gaps in employment history. It also allows people to determine if the job is a good fit for them by having an honest conversation with the potential employer about if they can meet the requirements and seeing if the employer is understanding and open to providing accommodations. Finally, disclosing your disability means that then you are entitled to receive accommodations to apply, interview, or perform the job.

Year round schooling can provide many short term and long term benefits for both students and teachers. Those include better retention of material, more frequent breaks, and a more structured and detailed curriculum.

This position holds that gambling adverts should be banned. It argues that gambling has always carried a serious addiction risk for a vulnerable minority, and that smartphones have removed the old friction — making betting constant — so advertising that drives people to it is now far more harmful.

Since the founding years of the U.S. as a nation, Black lives, culture, and literature were deemed inferior or invalid. African-American writing cannot escape this reality, so their literature should illuminate racial injustices and promote political equality.

African-American literature should be about the free expression and individuality of Black lives—without patronizing to White readership who decides what is "good" and "bad."

African-American literature should not be confined to topics of politics, racism, or liberation. Black writers have the freedom to create art for art's sake, to create art with attention to aesthetics, form, and beauty.

This position sidesteps the debate by arguing Alexander Hamilton was not the true architect of the financial plans submitted to Congress in 1790 and 1791. If the plan was not really his, it holds, the question of whether it put America first is beside the point.

Some religions can support the existence of extraterrestrials (or aliens) better than others. A religion’s ability to accommodate the existence of aliens would depend on how open that religion’s belief system is. If it is not, dealing with the idea will be difficult.

Military action will only make the situation worse and even more complicated. Therefore, there should be a cease-fire on all military force pushed for by the Trump administration.

This position holds that all we can really say about Freud's theories is that they are now irrelevant. It argues most of his beliefs have been disproved or superseded, and that his ideas no longer apply to modern psychology, which has long since moved beyond his framework.

They all play their own unique roles in the group and BTS wouldn't be the same without any one member.

This position holds that alternative medicine can cause serious harm. It argues that, far from being harmlessly comforting, it diverts people from effective treatment, that some remedies are actively dangerous, that vast sums are wasted on it, and that anyone can pose as a therapist.

There have been numerous rumors that Amelia Earhart, upon surviving, decided to escape her current life and adapting that of Irene Craigmile Bolam.

The most widely accepted theory relating to Earhart's death. It is understood that Earhart's plane ran out of fuel and subsequently crashed into the Pacific Ocean while searching for Howland Island. It is said to be a case of "poor planning, worse execution."

The Gardner Island (Nikumaroro) hypothesis presumes that Earhart, an experienced aviator, would not have wasted time searching for Howland Island and would have turned southward instead.
