Chapter 458 Drawing Lots
“Dear guests and dear audience friends, hello everyone!
Welcome to today’s event and review yesterday’s debate. What a wonderful and fierce competition.
Comers from all over the world. The students from this university are talented and quick-thinking. They ignited the entire debate field with their wisdom and passion. Every argument and every rebuttal made us feel their talent and style...
And today. , we will continue this collision and excitement of thinking.
Of course, there will be some small changes in today's debate. Because we realize that the previous competition rules may have restricted the performance of some students.
Therefore, in order to allow each contestant to show their true strength, today's debate mode will be adjusted, both sides can freely refute, and the number limit will be lifted...
In addition, we have also made some updates to the subject matter. It is no longer limited to the topic of international students. As long as it is related to Turkey and Macao, it can become the focus of our discussion.
Let us look forward to today’s debate and the wonderful performance of each contestant! ”
Linxi announced these changes with a microphone on the stage, but the audience did not seem to show much reaction.
To many, these changes don't seem to make much of a difference from previous games.
The first game is between La Trobe University and the University of South Australia. The topic is that the United Kingdom has colonized so many countries. Why are those colonized countries so loyal to the United Kingdom? Should Turkey and Australia, as a former colony, Is the United Kingdom considered Big Brother? Should we still celebrate the birthday of the Queen of the United Kingdom every year?
This topic was very interesting and immediately aroused the interest of everyone present.
Because yesterday’s topic was all about international students, some comments would make people feel uncomfortable. This time we are discussing other countries. Most people like to eat melons and join in the fun, so they are naturally very interested.
La Trobe University believes that the colonization of the United Kingdom had a profound impact on many colonized countries, including the import of culture and institutions. These effects made the colonized countries in some respects grateful to the United Kingdom. .
As a former colony, Tu'ao has been independent for a long time, but the historical and cultural imprint of the United Kingdom is still profound.
Therefore, it is not inappropriate to think of the United Kingdom as a kind of historical and cultural "Big Brother".
However, the University of South Australia feels that the United Kingdom’s colonial behavior is essentially aggression and exploitation, which has brought serious disasters to the colonized countries.
Although Tu'ao was once colonized by the United Kingdom, they should be proud of their identity as an independent country instead of being blindly loyal to their former colonizers.
Regarding the United Kingdom as "Big Brother" is not only a misreading of history, but also a neglect of national sovereignty.
Because the rules of today's debate have been changed, the pace seems to have sped up a lot. As soon as one side finished speaking, the other side started to refute.
Especially the University of South Australia. After La Trobe University finished speaking, they actually sent two students to refute, which directly shocked the students of La Trobe University.
However, the La Trobe University team members calmed down after adjusting for a minute. They believed that the United Kingdom's colonization also brought many positive impacts, such as the construction of the legal system and the establishment of the education system.
These influences have a non-negligible role in promoting the modernization process of Tu'ao. Therefore, the colonial history of the United Kingdom should not be completely denied, but useful experiences and lessons should be drawn from it.
The University of South Australia then responded. They believed that the positive impact of the United Kingdom's colonization could not conceal its aggressive and exploitative nature. History should be faced squarely instead of beautifying colonial history.
After several rounds of heated debate, La Trobe University dumped Wang Fang.
They believe that treating the United Kingdom as "Big Brother" does not mean blind allegiance, but a kind of respect and recognition of history.
At the same time, this recognition will also help promote friendly cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two countries. And although Tuao is united to help other countries, he is now flirting with the beautiful country sister. It is not clear who is the big brother. It is nothing more than an exchange of interests between countries.
In addition, the history of Tuao is relatively complicated. The aboriginal people of this land are Aboriginal. They do not have a country, but exist in the form of tribes.
When the United Kingdom set foot on this land, it did the same thing as the United Kingdom did to the Indians and the Spanish did to the Mayans. What followed was the influx of a large number of immigrants. Nowadays, the ancestors of the Tuao people are actually from the United Kingdom, so there is nothing wrong with celebrating the Queen's birthday.
La Trobe University suddenly had the upper hand. Their view was supported by the majority of the people and they won the first game as the opposition.
Chen Xi frowned in the audience. The debate just now was intense and intense. The South Australian team sent two capable players in succession, which almost silenced the La Trobe University team. This makes him particularly worried about Didi University's participation.
Judging from the personalities of Li Xin and Shen Xinyi, Tan is not very good at arguing with others, and he knows very little about the strengths of other teammates.
In his anxiety, his eyes unconsciously moved to Li Yuqing not far away.
Li Yuqing keenly felt someone watching her. She turned her head slightly and glanced to the side with the corner of her eye.
When she discovered that the look came from Chen Xi, she couldn't help but feel happy.
She quickly tidied her hair and secretly rejoiced, thinking that her dress must be particularly eye-catching today and successfully attracted the other person's attention.
"It's our turn." "I'll draw lots, I'll draw lots."
After several rounds of debate, as soon as Shen Xinyi spoke, Li Yuqing stood up from her chair in shock. He stood up and trotted towards the corner of the auditorium, fearing that someone would get there first.
"Did you make a mistake? It turned out to be the other side. This is like signing a contract. I want to do it all over again." When she saw the words written on the card, Li Yuqing was furious. She looked directly at the staff and demanded Draw lots again.
However, everyone stared at her like a fool, especially the student from the University of Queensland opposite, who was holding a card with square written on it in his hand.
"If you are against the opponent, then the opponent is the opponent. Anyway, we are strong and we will definitely win." Seeing that he was a bit unable to get off the stage, Li Yuqing quickly pretended to be nonchalant.
"What are you looking at? Even if we get the opposite side, it doesn't mean we will lose. Winning like this will better reflect the strength of our Didi University. Yeah, come on!" Li Yuqing returned to her seat and said: She made a cheering gesture, while the others stared at him expressionlessly. Some even twitched their faces a few times after hearing what she said.
The topic this time is that Tu and Australia should ban the legalization of marijuana.
This topic is still very hot in Tu'ao. Green D has announced that cannabis should be legalized, and even proposed to allow people to grow it at home, and give priority to the participation of cooperatives and small businesses.
In addition to the standard Goods and Services Tax, the proposal also proposes a 15% tax. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, based on the current price of A$13 per gram, this will generate A$28 billion in tax revenue for the Crown over nine years.
Everyone at Didi University looked a bit embarrassed. You must know that if you get the opposite side of this topic, you are at a disadvantage and basically cannot make a comeback.
But Chen Xi knows that in the future, some countries will have legalized cannabis, and these are still some developed countries.
However, the legalization of cannabis has different levels and conditions in different countries and regions.
Finally, Australia and Australia passed a cannabis legalization bill in Canberra. Of course, there are restrictions, such as allowing adults to possess 50 grams of cannabis, etc.
According to this theoretical inference, supporting the legalization of marijuana is not completely without a chance of winning.
But those present are all Chinese students. The education they received since childhood is to stay away from these things, so if you want to gain their support, you still need to use your brain.
Everyone gathered together to discuss for a while, and then it was time for both parties to appear.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Chen Xi actually sent Li Yuqing to play, which caused repeated objections from the team members. Even Shen Xinyi joined the opposition.
As a result, all these people were scolded by Li Yuqing.
Finally, Chen Xi used time constraints as an excuse to force the players to appear.
"Everyone looks down on me. I'll show you my strength later." Li Yuqing muttered, raising her proud head and walked onto the stage.
“Dear judges and classmates, we believe that Tu and Australia should not legalize marijuana. First of all, marijuana is a D drug, and its abuse will cause great harm to personal health, especially to teenagers and young people. Second, legalizing marijuana will likely lead to wider abuse and social problems. In addition, we also need to take into account the position and cooperation of the international community. The legalization of cannabis may undermine the framework of international anti-drug cooperation," said Bian, a spokesman for the University of Queensland. While laughing, they could win this kind of debate with their eyes closed. At this time, their inner joy could no longer be concealed.
“What’s so argumentative about this? Who came up with such an extreme question?”
"It's boring, there's no suspense at all."
"I know with my butt that the University of Queensland will win."
"Ha, Didi University is really unlucky, it's the other way around. But. , these two women on the stage are quite beautiful, look how pitiful they are , I will vote for it when the time comes.”
“Lao Sepi, the debate must be fair and just, don’t be unable to walk when you see a woman.”
“ Did Didi University know that he will lose and want to use a honey trap? ”
The audience in the audience was not interested in this debate, and some people were ready to give Zhang a sympathy vote.
Shen Xinyi and Li Yuqing are very eye-catching standing on the stage. A beautiful girl is nothing, but if they two appear on the stage at the same time, the effect will be different.
"Haha, President, they should have lost this time."
"I came up with this question."
"It was me who drew the lots..."< br>
Around Linxi, several representatives began to claim credit. Linxi also raised the corner of her mouth. He wanted to laugh now, but there were so many people around him at this time, so he still had to hold back.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes
