Bring on the Debates!

The Communitarianism lab began today's meeting with a demonstration round between Rodrigo Hernandez and Megan Foreman. Megan choose the affirmative side of the resolution and Rodrigo the negative. Megan began by reading a fairly traditional case, arguing that health care should be provided in order to protect the right to life. Rodrigo, never one to follow the crowd, countered with a negative case that claimed that since every country contained so many diverse groups with different conceptions of justice it is impossible to determine what a
just government is, in an absolute sense. This round catapulted the lab into a heated discussion over whether Rodrigo's position was fair and debateable. Hopefully, this meeting prepared the debaters for the practice rounds set to start on Monday.
