Hey guys, I haven't been on in FOREVER, so I thought I'd make a debate. Someone on facebook recently posted something about this subject, so I thought I'd ask you guys. So do you or do you not believe in Spanking as a discipline for kids?
The purpose of this debate is to decide which is a better grading method. Everyone knows the traditional way, All homework counts for our grade, as well as tests. Pretty basic. Then their is proficiency grading, which is the new method they are slowly trying to get all schools to transfer to. Proficiency grading is PURELY based off of TEST grades. Homework has absolutely no effects on our grades. To pass, every single test must be a passing grade (C or above) Lets say you pass two out of three tests, you would fail the whole class. It is based simply off of your knowledge and how well you do on the test. Many kids love it, some hate it. Same for teachers, although the majority hate it. So what do you think is the better method?
I want to know you're guys' opinion on whether or not The Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y, or "Facebook" Generation, is lazy or not. I ask this because we are doing an argumentitive essay in my English class regarding this topic. The older Generation consider us to be lazy, they say we are "Narcissistic and Entitled to Everything" and that we "Have too much Self-Esteem" which apparently is why we expect everything to be handed to us instead of working hard to earn it ourselves. Three in Four Americans believe that Today's youth are less "Virtuous and industrious" than our elders, according to a 2009 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. So what is YOUR opinion? Are we lazy?
Do you feel like Technology is ovveruling our world? Some find that they like it, while others feel like it is not a good thing. What is your opinion on it, and why?
Lots of people disagree with the whole 'medical marijuana' thing. So what is your opinion on it? Do you feel that it should definitely be legal, or do you feel that marijuana should be illegal? Please explain.
This is obviously a touchy subject for a lot of people. Either you are completely against it, or you completely support it. Thats pretty much how it goes when it comes to this subject. So which side are you on? And why exactly?
So there is a huge controversy over whether or not Illegal Immigrant should be able to come to America. It obviously is against the law against it, but nonetheless everyone has their opinions, even if they go against the law. When an Illegal Immagrant is caught, he or she must serve 5 years in a prison in America, and if it happens a second time, I believe it is 10 years (sorry if my facts are a little off) Many people believe that Illigal Immagrants are taking American's jobs, and other things like that. Whereas some people think that they should be allowed to come here to have a better life. So what is your opinion on this matter? I truly am interested in what you have to say.
Many people argue over whether or not the Death Penalty is right or wrong, and whether or not it should be allowed. What is your opinion on the matter?
Do you believe it is right to express emotion, or do you feel it should be held within?
So, we all know that many people are very open about expressing emotion, but there are also those people who choose not to express their emotions with others. Both have their reasons for their choice, so which is your prefference, or Opinion? Do you think it is wrong to express emotion openly, or do you think its right to openly express your emotions?
Do you believe abortion is right or wrong? Are you against it, or do you support it? All Opinions are valid, and respected. Whether or not I agree. So please debate away.
