Slide1

The Burdens of a Debate

What to prove and how do I do itSlide2

What is a burden?

A burden is one of the things you need to prove for your side of the motion to

be true

It is NOT a specific argument – burdens are proved by them

Prop and

Opp

will

have different burdens –

Prop will

often have

to prove all these things,

Opp

may only need

1 or a

couple

It is still a good idea on

O

pp

to hit as many burdens as

possibleSlide3

Why are burdens important

That you prove all the things you set out to prove in your speech does not mean you will winYou will often be told another team beat you for fulfilling their “burdens” better

Teams will sometimes try to tell the judge what your burdens are, they often lie about this

Thinking about burdens in prep time keeps you relevant to the debate

List them during prep on your page and build arguments around

proving themSlide4

Example: THW reintroduce corporal punishment to schools

Prop burdens:Chosen educational outcome(s) (academic results, life skills)

are important

Corporal

punishment is more effective than current methods of

punishment at furthering that/those outcome(s)

The violence will seldom if ever be excessive (potential for abuse is non-existent or low)

Hitting children is a justifiable way of instructing

Not Prop burdens:

Bad class control leads to bad outcomes in education

Bad educational outcomes lead to bad life prospects

Teachers want this powerSlide5

Example: THW reintroduce corporal punishment to schools

Opp burdens:Hitting children is never justified

Hitting children leads to poor educational outcomes

The system will be so open to abuse that good outcomes are outweighed by abusive ones

Not

Opp

burdens:

Most teachers will not use this

Parents will disagree with it
