w88 casino News Network (Reporter Wang Xiao)3month29Sunday 7pm, in the fifth largest classroom of w88 casino, a unique debate competition kicked off. The topic of this debate is: Should my country abolish the death penalty.
The preservation and abolition of the death penalty is not only a theoretical issue, but also a practical issue. The death penalty has existed for thousands of years and has a certain rationality, but it also has its irrationality, which is worthy of debate and discussion. To this day, the issue of the existence or abolition of the death penalty is still a focus of debate in Eastern and Western criminal law circles. Therefore, the Law Society of w88 casino set the theme of this debate "Should our country abolish the death penalty?"
At the beginning of the competition, the debaters from both sides briefly introduced themselves, and then the host introduced the format of this competition. The special thing about this competition is that it adopts the Oregon competition system. Three debaters from the front and back will compete in three aspects: argumentation, questioning, and closing arguments. The debaters from both sides will compete in the questioning part.
The Oregon debate first originated in 1926, by the University of Oregon in the United StatesGreyAn interactive questioning debate method proposed by the professor. In the Oregon-style debate, there are three debaters on each side, and each debater is responsible for one "argument," one "question," and one "reply." One of the three debaters will also serve as the team's closing defense in the game. The host said that through this debate mode, both parties have ample opportunities to listen to other people's opinions and fully express their own opinions.
After introducing the rules, the competition officially began. During the debate, both sides of the debate were full of witty words, quoted scriptures, and clearly and rigorously presented their opinions and reasons. Sometimes they frowned, sometimes they cheered, which deeply affected the emotions of the audience. When it came to questioning, both parties changed their gentle demeanor and became sharp and aggressive with their words, showing the momentum of not giving up until the other party was speechless. This battle of words is not only a battle of wisdom, but also a battle of courage and knowledge on both sides.
Zheng Fang emphasized that in today's international environment, the abolition of the death penalty system has become a global trend. China should follow the development of the times and accept the new concept of justice in using other criminal laws besides the death penalty to punish serious crimes.
The opposition emphasized the importance of the death penalty from four aspects: its function, effectiveness, economy, and history, as well as the sufficient reasons why it should not be abolished in the short term.
As soon as the debate ended, the audience immediately began to vote on the spot. At the same time, the special guest teacher of this competitionSun LiGive a brief comment on this debate competition. She pointed out the shortcomings of both parties, such as the information collected was generally outdated, the understanding of new perspectives in the legal field was insufficient, and the reasons stated were not sufficient. But in general, the debaters on both sides were able to state their views in a clear and coherent manner, and they knew how to adapt to problems when they encountered them. These advantages are also rare.
