Positions

Social psychologists argue that sociocultural factors cause depression. These include socioeconomic stresses and social isolation, cultural diversity, sociopolitical discourses, and inequities. The biosocial approach combines biological make-up and sociocultural conditions.

This position holds that detecting or contacting alien life is not possible, making the question of its existence almost irrelevant. It argues current technical means cannot identify alien life, noting the SETI project has yielded no evidence despite long searching.

This position holds that digital skills are among the most useful to learn while social distancing. It argues that, thanks to the internet, the world is at your fingertips even in isolation—offering the chance to learn to code or build a following as an online influencer.

This position groups the diplomatic and military powers the Constitution vests in the president under Article II, Section 2: serving as Commander in Chief of the armed forces, making treaties subject to Senate ratification, and receiving or dismissing foreign ambassadors and ministers.

Employers knowing that someone has a disability can result in discrimination. Employers may use the disability as a reason to eliminate the person from consideration. It can also mean that they are misunderstood, treated differently, left out, or passed over for promotions/raises.

Disadvantages of year round schooling include personal, financial, and extracurricular obstacles. Students may have a difficult time doing extra activities outside of school, parents and teachers may have issues with scheduling and daycare, and the governments may have issues with keeping up with the increased finances.

From tales both classic and modern, to stunning animation in both 2D and 3D styles, Disney reigns as one of the oldest and most beloved animation studios of all time. Disney has experience and a huge library of films to back it up, while Pixar is still young and building up its own library. Pixar also lacks musicals, which is part of what makes the Disney style work so well. There is no contest between Disney and Pixar; Disney's rich history beats out Pixar's fledgling filmography hands-down.

This position holds that diversity has no real bearing on a company's financial success. It argues that many companies have thrived with a homogeneous workforce, and that the measured impact of diversity varies so much that it cannot be considered critical to profitability.

Diversity allows companies to tap into different opinions and work styles that could help it navigate different geographies, market segments, as well as tap into new talent pools

This position holds that diversity is not an important factor in a company's financial success. It argues other elements—a strong founder and qualified leadership—matter far more to the bottom line, and that diversity without inclusion is no silver bullet.

This position holds that domestic skills are among the most useful to learn while social distancing. It argues that, since people are spending so much more time at home, they should optimise the experience — mastering cooking, decluttering with a spring clean, and being a better neighbour.

I would most wish to see Dominic Cummings offered a one-way ticket.

This position holds that Trump and Biden would be much the same for criminal justice. It argues that today's system is the product of both Republican and Democratic policy, that Biden's own record resembles Trump's, and that there is bipartisan interest in maintaining the status quo.

This position holds that Donald Trump appeals to the social insecurities of white evangelical Christians. Citing scholar Emma Long, it argues Trump hears evangelicals' fears, takes them seriously, and responds—exploiting their anxieties to win loyal support.

Donald Trump vehemently rejects calls to defund or dismantle the police, and describes himself as a Law and Order president. He has also enacted some reforms seeking to improve police accountability.

This entry documents the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is controlled by foreign powers. Variants claim he secretly works for the other side, feeds classified information abroad, is a Russian agent, or is being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin—claims that remain unproven.

This position catalogues the QAnon conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is secretly dismantling a global child-trafficking paedophile ring. The encyclopedia documents it as adherents present it; the claim is baseless and debunked, and US law enforcement treated it as a domestic-terror threat.

This position catalogues the theory that Donald Trump lied about how badly Covid-19 affected his health in 2020. It records claims that, despite his upbeat statements, he was gravely ill — carrying a hidden oxygen tank — and even that the infection was a Chinese assassination attempt.

Donald Trump has kept his promises and is making America great again. He is taking on the entrenched interests of the media and liberal cultural and is standing up for US interests around the world. He should be re-elected as President of the United States of America.

Trump promises to restore law and order, and will take a tough approach on criminality. Biden has a poor track record on criminal justice, and is too weak on left-wing lawlessness.

Trump in 2016 ran on a platform of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act due to its inefficiencies and flaws. He also pledged to make drug prices more affordable and increase transparency of hospital pricing.

Donald Trump in his first term has improved the economic and social status of racial minorities in America. He will restore peace to American cities and create jobs, easing tensions.

This position holds that Donald Trump would be better for the coronavirus pandemic. It argues he took early action by banning travel from China, helped flatten the curve, and paved the way to reopen the US economy—and that his own bout with the virus would sharpen his vigilance.

President Donald J. Trump has a strong environmental record and is pursuing effective policies to advance environmental protection while promoting economic growth.

This position holds that Donald Trump would be better for the US economy. It argues that in his four years the economy surpassed growth expectations and created millions of jobs, that incomes rose across all groups, and that he has a strong record of negotiating foreign trade deals.

If he even has any real hair at all, Trump is definitely using a toupee or some other means to cover up a glaring bald spot on his presidential head.

Trump may or may not be using hair-care products or a clever comb-over to fill out his thinning locks, but the fact of the matter is that most--if not all--of his hair is his own.

Hospitals still need blood, and donations have dropped off since Coronavirus hit. There are no confirmed cases of any form of coronavirus being passed on through blood or platelet donation.

This position holds that donating food or money to a foodbank is a good way to help during the pandemic. It argues that pressure on jobs and the economy will push many below the breadline, and points to foodbanks across countries as a direct way to support the most vulnerable.

This position holds that whether white people wear dreadlocks is irrelevant. It argues there are far bigger and more pressing issues of racial inequality to address, and that the debate over hairstyles distracts from the structural injustices that genuinely matter.

This position holds that dream interpretation is complete hokum. It argues that reading meaning into dreams is mere idiosyncrasy and guesswork — every supposed symbol means something different to each person — and that there is no scientific basis for it whatsoever.

This position holds that dreams are both informative and predictive. It argues that universal dream symbols carry meaning, that dreams can offer introspective insight, and—for some—that dreams serve as messages from God foretelling the future.

This position holds that dreams are informative but not predictive. It argues that dreams reveal something illuminating about the subconscious — whether repressed thoughts, processed memories, an evolutionary function, or a window onto the collective unconscious — without foretelling the future.

This position holds that drive is what creates star quality. It argues that ruthless ambition, grit, and determination turn people into stars, pointing to figures such as Lewis Hamilton, Cardi B, and Cristiano Ronaldo as proof of relentless drive.

This position holds that drugs should be decriminalized but not fully legalized. It argues decriminalization is a more rational, measured path than outright legalization, sparing users criminal punishment while recognising that addicts need help and treatment rather than shame and prison.

This position holds that dubbed anime is better than subtitled. It argues that hearing a show in your own language is the most straightforward, effortless way to follow it — removing the cultural barrier and freeing the viewer from having to read subtitles while watching.
