DEBATE IS A WAR BUT YOUR WEAPONS ARE WORDS: Types of Motion

*this is just draft, not a full argument*

TYPE 1 (Philosophical Motion)

NO PROPOSAL, NO SOLUTION, JUST IDEA

EXAMPLE 1:

+ THBT the World has learned nothing from 9/11

Definition

World= UN, United Nation as a world representative

9/11= Planes attack that destroyed WTC in New York, ¼ Pentagon and almost destroy White house

Parameter

UN incapability to be strict toward USA and Israel provocative action that keeps worsening the security of middle east while at the same time also growing collective hatred among middle east people toward west countries that ironically is the main purpose of terrorist to conduct 9/11 attack

Theme line

Because if UN still do nothing about it, the world condition will become more unstable, as we know that middle east is the biggest oil exporter in the world in which any instability in that region will also make instability of economic, politic, and security across the world

1^st split

Politic and diplomatic aspect

worse politic/diplomatic understanding & relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

the reason why 9/11 happened and sadly recent condition still proves that the world has learned nothing to increase

diplomatic understanding and relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

(ex: USA keeps invading Iraq, making enemy with Iran, defending Israel’s wrong deeds, ignoring Palestine’s suffering,

those are worsening the diplomatic relationship, but UN as world representative do nothing about USA action, it shows

that the world has learned nothing to fix diplomatic understanding and relationship. If UN/world had learned something

from 9/11, UN/world would have set a strict attitude toward USA and Israel provocative action in the middle east)

Religion understanding and relationship aspect

Worse religion understanding & relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

the reason why 9/11 happened and recent condition proves that the world has learned nothing to increase religion

understanding and relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

(ex: USA keeps invading Iraq, making enemy with Iran, defending Israel’s wrong deeds, ignoring Palestine’s suffering,

those are worsening the religion understanding and relationship, even though it’s a military action yet it makes Middle

East people hates west religion even more, most of Middle East people have this prejudice that the military action as west

crusade toward religion in the Middle East. but UN as world representative do nothing to stop USA action, it shows that

the world has learned nothing to fix religion understanding and relationship. If UN/world had learned something from

9/11, UN/world would have set a strict attitude toward USA and Israel provocative action in the middle east)

2^nd split

Security aspect

- Worse security in most of Middle East countries

1. several Bomb attacks that finally killed Benazir Butho (because of Butho’s support on USA war against “terrorist” in

Iraq and Afghanistan), 2. almost daily Bomb attacks in Iraq until now shows how deep the hatred of Middle East people

toward USA that has invaded Iraq for so called purpose to stop Saddam Hussein in making “weapon of mass

destruction” that has proved to be never exist and that in the end USA “noble “ intention to “help” Iraq people from

Saddam’s regime end up on sucking Iraq’s oil resources, 3. USA plan to invade Iran because of the reason that almost

the same like that in Iraq which is to produce nuclear “weapon”, and 4. Palestine growing hatred toward USA that

always sets double standard on Israel

- Worse security in most of west countries and even in Asia countries

Bomb attack in Spain (4 trains, thousand deaths), England (train station), Australia embassy in Jakarta, Bali bomb 1 & 2

Economic Aspect

Worse economic aspect

middle east is the biggest oil exporter region in the world in which any instability in that region will also make instability of economic, politic, and security across the world. The raising of recent world oil price is the effect of the instability of middle east region. The supply of oil from middle east to the whole world will be troubled by the instability of its region, this difficulty in exporting oil to the whole world will make the exporter countries in the middle east have to increase the price of their oil, we know that oil is very important, we use oil everyday, for cooking, for industry purpose, as fuel for vehicle like car, motorcycle, airplane and ship. The raising of oil price will make the industry should spend more money on the production in which in the end the price of the goods should be increased also. This will be worsening all aspect of life in the whole world. If UN didn’t see it coming, the world instability will be surely end up in chaos. UN should stop the source of all of these troubles, which is USA and Israel provocative actions in the middle east. but UN as world representative still do nothing to stop USA action, it shows that the world has learned nothing to fix these problems. If UN/world had learned something from 9/11, UN/world would have set a strict attitude toward USA and Israel provocative action in the middle east

- THBT the World has learned something from 9/11

1^st split

International relationship aspect

- Better diplomatic understanding & relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

West cooperation with Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Arab in fighting terrorism (Al-Qaeda)

- Better religion understanding & relationship between west countries and Middle East countries

The growing number of western who learn about the majority religion in the middle east, make western begin to understand and able to differentiate between middle east people who hold their religion peacefully and those who hold their religion in extreme way. Western has begun to learn to not do or say things that actually could create misunderstanding or provoke the anger of Moslem, they starting to know of how to socialize or to make relationship with moslem This growing understanding prevents western from being racialist toward Middle East people or toward Moslem who lives in the middle east region or in the west countries. It surely promotes better understanding and hence better relationship to live together side by side in peace, love and harmony.

2^nd split

Security aspect

- Better security system in all countries in the world

The enhancement of security system in the world, especially in the west countries, it proved by the strictness of security system that is running now in most of western countries. Example: security system in most of airport, train station, public facilities.

- Better focus and cooperation of all countries to catch terrorist in all over the world

International cooperation between Interpol, CIA, FBI, NSA, MOSAD, BIN, etc

The intense using of technologies to track and catch terrorist wherever they are hiding. Satellite, internet, GPS,
