Very informative video Here are my notes: 1. Ponder over the topic before a google search 2. Learn about the current realities of the topic within a country or region and beyond (moving from narrow research to broad) 3. Consider resolution for 3 broad themes (ex- environmental, sociological, legal, political, etc.), come up with 2 arguments each theme and divide the presentation. 4. Support your argument with meaningful content, ex- studies, statistics, facts etc. Create a diverse portfolio of your research 5. Make sure you have a clear logical link between your arguments and content 6. Be mindful about the supporting points the opposition has. Don't make your arguments just a rebuttal against the points of the opposition party (even before the points have been made). Keep those ideas handy for the right time. 7. Come up with fun quotes, puns or anything clever to make your presentation memorable 8. Develop your own style.

that's easy. you should just state deforestation can lead to more space for buildings or transportation. Maybe even use it for farming. Any side is not that hard to come up with strong points, just have to find the benefits to it

@cotyemerson203 4 жыл бұрын

No vaccines are tested in combination with another vaccine, and no vaccines are tested against a control group. Also vaccine companies are't liable for their damages; by law the taxpayers pay for the damages done so the companies have little financial incentive to make the best product. Since 1988, over 21,491 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 30-year time period, 18,473 petitions have been adjudicated, with 7,044 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,429 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.2 billion.""

If you even knew your face mask "theoretical" argument would not be so theoretical a few years later.... you would have invested in face mask stocks? 😆
