Positions

Alien life would challenge the legitimacy of modern religion. Religions have a clear set of beliefs, and some of them do not account for life on other planets. Some reject the possibility outright. The discovery of aliens would conflict with what these religions teach, undermining their credibility.

Evidence found at Giza supports the claim that at least some ramps were used. Ramps are commonly found in Egypt supporting other smaller pyramids and monumental structures. There are many variations on this theory. It is the most popular among archaeologists.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people's lifestyles evolved into idle and unhealthy ones. With the increased emphasis on healthcare, there will also be a lot more attention diverted towards exercising, eating healthy, and staying safe. Most Americans, regardless of their affiliation with healthcare, will actively participate in these markets.

Most of the world has been faring relatively better than the US during the COVID-19 outbreak, which has exposed flaws in the health and social system in the US. Such as the fact that some Americans refuse to get medical treatment out of fear for the high costs and that the government has been prioritizing closing borders rather than other precautions that have historically been much more helpful during pandemics.

The role of technology, and particularly Artificial Intelligence, will impact work heavily.

This position holds that the future of work will be more flexible. It argues that traditional employment is giving way to flexible arrangements like gig and freelance work — enabled by technology and driven by people across generations who increasingly want to be their own boss.

When defined as a form of systemic and sometimes concious gender bias, the gender pay gap does exist. Women earn less money due to a variety of societal factors, including behavioral expectations, perceptions of femininity, and their choices to become mothers.

When defined as a form of systemic and sometimes conscious gender bias, the gender pay gap does not exist. It is illegal to pay male and female workers unequally for equal work, therefore any perceived pay gap is due to misunderstandings of statistical research or simply the choices made by women.

The Green New Deal aims to meet one hundred percent of the United States' power/energy demand through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources. The proponents of this position hope to accomplish this goal within ten years of implementation.

The Good Friday Agreement has been a failure due to the fact that Northern Ireland has seen a polarisation in politics since 1998. Many of the terms of the treaty, such as the release of prisoners, has also been hotly contested.

The Good Friday Agreement has secured a lasting peace in Northern Ireland, with a steep reduction in violence and an improved relationship between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

This position holds that death is the central theme of The Great Gatsby. It argues that death touches every character and drives the novel — Myrtle Wilson's death a pivotal turn, and Gatsby's own death symbolising the demise of the great American dream.

This position holds that love is the central theme of The Great Gatsby. It argues that the novel is at heart a tragic love story — driven by Jay Gatsby's consuming love for Daisy Buchanan, and read by some as Nick Carraway quietly exploring his own sexuality.

This position holds that social class is the central theme of The Great Gatsby. It argues that the characters are preoccupied with their standing and how others see them — that Gatsby's lavish parties expose the shallowness of the upper class, and his rise lays bare the barriers of class.

This position holds that the American Dream is the central theme of The Great Gatsby. It argues that every character is chasing their own ideal of that dream amid the materialism and excess of the Roaring Twenties — and that the novel charts its corruption and hollowness.

This position holds that wealth is the central theme of The Great Gatsby. It argues that the characters are consumed by the pursuit of riches, and that the novel turns on the clash between 'old money' and 'new money' in 1920s America.

This position holds that the health effects of cell phones remain unclear. It argues that existing studies are not conclusive either way on whether phones cause cancer, that further research is critical, and that health authorities sensibly recommend caution in the meantime.

Shakespeare's histories are dramatized biographies of British medieval kings. They offer insight into Medieval and Renaissance politics and the lives of people at all levels of Medieval, Elizabethan, and Jacobean society.

In an extremely oppressive regime, Nazi soldiers, the Jewish council, and Hitler Youth were forced to comply out of fear or indoctrination. If they did not comply, their families and their own lives would be at risk.

The impact of the Holocaust has been felt by survivors and their descendants years later. The lack of justice faced by the perpetrators, and consequently served to the victims, is a key barrier to forgiveness. The absence of genuine repentance on the part of the aggressors is another reason why the aggressors should not be forgiven.

This position holds that the House of Lords should be abolished. It argues the chamber is a relic of a bygone era, irrelevant to modern life and detrimental to democracy, that it remains fundamentally undemocratic, and that the cost of maintaining it has ballooned.

This position holds that the House of Lords should be reformed rather than abolished or left untouched. It argues the chamber's purpose is positive but its current form fails us — proposing a partly elected house, the abolition of hereditary peers, or a regional senate.

This position holds that the House of Lords should remain untouched. It argues the institution benefits British democracy, that it works well as a revising chamber, and that it serves as a valuable body of experts able to scrutinise legislation free from electoral pressures.

This position holds that it is the human mind that sets us apart from other animals. It points to humans' unique mental capabilities — among them the cumulative transmission of skills across generations, and humanity's distinctive relationship with sex — as the dividing line.

The trilogy's first novel popularized the series. It gives readers their first glimpse into the districts, the Capitol, and the horrors of the traditions surrounding the annual Hunger Games. It foreshadows the change that fuels the entire series.

This position holds that there is no single ideal drinking age, because it depends on the jurisdiction. It argues that different cultures, religions and societies hold widely divergent views on alcohol, so the appropriate minimum age is best set locally rather than by a universal standard.

Builders may have used the steep gradient of the pyramid itself to haul blocks up the sides. In this model, the workers worked on the flat top of the pyramid and used a system of ropes to bring blocks to the top. This theory is popular with engineers.

When do families play Monopoly? When they're trapped together in confined spaces, desperately looking for something to end the inane smalltalk. It's a situation that lends itself to disaster.

The Pyramids may have been built in a spiral from the inside-out. The structure of the pyramid itself was used as a ramp. This idea was invented by the Architect Jean-Pierre Houdin and based on the ideas of his engineer father. Recent surveys of the pyramids support this theory.

One of the main issues that has allowed for the Syrian crisis to intensify is the involvement of several countries. They must all take a step back and withdraw from Syria.

With the people’s respect of the once all-powerful Church weakened following its many problems during the Middle Ages, this newly educated, wealthy class began to pursue more secular and human interests – art, science, philosophy, etc.
