"Developing Policy Arguments and Debate"
• Develop a policy argument or claim that is definitive, designative, evaluative, or advocative, using one of these terms: (a) crime, (b) pollution, (c) terrorism, (d) quality of life, (e) global warming, (f) fiscal crisis, (g) human rights, and (h) unemployment. Ensure your claim takes a position on your chosen topic, and explain why you took that position.
• Convert the argument in the first discussion into a policy debate by providing an objection and a rebuttal. Explain if and why the qualifier changed after introducing an objection and rebuttal. If the qualifier did not change, explain why it did not change.
