I have this assignment for Debate and I need help to make thoughts about this "Classic literature is racist" I have to either be on the affirmative or negative on that. I have no idea where to start, I have read many stories of classic literature and didn't think people thought it was racist until now.
@Angle
Ok well, first off, if you didn't think that it was racist does that mean that you disagree?(aka you are negative?)
Yes, i 100% disagree, but my teacher said if we disagree then she will throw us into the affirmitive and I dont have any pointers for that.
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison Yes, i 100% disagree, but my teacher said if we disagree then she will throw us into the affirmitive and I dont have any pointers for that. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Ok so then are you going with Affirmative or Negative?
Negative
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison Negative \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Ok so now that we have your side, we have to come up with reasons. This is for your debate class so are you doing philosophical chairs?
idk what philosical chairs is
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison idk what philosical chairs is \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Siting in a circle full of chairs where you discuss your opinions on a topic ;-;
Oh no, we will stand up and speak our opinion on the topic and then the teacher will be the other person in it and so if we are negative then she will be the affirm. and vise versa
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison Oh no, we will stand up and speak our opinion on the topic and then the teacher will be the other person in it and so if we are negative then she will be the affirm. and vise versa \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Something like that.Anyways, do you have to use a specific source?
Well she said if we are negative then she wants 2 sources that are negative and 1 affirmative and vise versa
yea you are right they didnt consider it racist until a few decades back but it still is racist so you pick the one you think is correct
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @simsharrison Well she said if we are negative then she wants 2 sources that are negative and 1 affirmative and vise versa \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Hmm ok so you have to find your own sources?
search up articles on pros and cons about both of them and then look at what people think about each of them
and dont forget to site your sources
