w88 casino News Network (Reporter Zhang Duo)At 18:30 on November 23, the "Paul Hastings Cup" w88 casino Debate League kicked off the final battle in the Chengxin three-story international conference hall. The debate teams of the w88 casino of Finance and the w88 casino of Law launched a debate around the theme of "Which contemporary society needs more generalists or specialists?" The w88 casino of Law believes that “contemporary society needs all-rounders more,” while the w88 casino of Finance, the opposite, believes that “society today needs specialists more.” After nearly an hour and a half of verbal battle, the w88 casino of Finance won the final victory.

In the argumentation process, Zhengfa Academy abandoned the straight-to-the-point approach of citing the advantages of "all-rounders" to refute the other party's argumentation. Instead, it went off the rails and affirmed the positive role of specialists in society. Then, from the perspective of the social responsibilities of talents, generalists are better able to coordinate social development to establish arguments, in order to disrupt the opponent's debate strategy. The opposing side, the w88 casino of Finance, remained unchanged in response to all changes. After affirming the opponent's sense of responsibility, it still focused on the advantages of specialists over generalists, and did not lose its position due to changes in the opponent's way of making arguments.

The affirmative is debating

The attack and defense process was very intense. Chen Hounan, the second debater of the affirmative, asked: "How is a master born?" The opponent replied: "A master is born by studying subjects and accumulating experience." The affirmative asked in return: "Can't a master be born by integrating multiple disciplines?" "Human energy is limited and cannot cover everything." The opponent explained. The affirmative side seized on this point and asked: "Then Leonardo da Vinci is recognized as an all-rounder and a master. How come there is no master who combines multiple disciplines?" The opposing side counterattacked, "Da Vinci is a genius, but it does not have universal significance to us." The pros and cons went back and forth, making it difficult to distinguish.

In response to the opponent’s view that “people’s energy is limited and they cannot master everything”, the affirmative used a pen as an example during the game. "According to the opposing debaters' point of view, if a pencil placed vertically is a specialist, then a pencil placed horizontally is a generalist, but do people have exactly the same energy?" "When the pencil is placed vertically, the height increases but the width becomes narrower. When it is placed horizontally, the width increases but the length becomes shorter." The opposing defense reacted quickly, seized the loopholes in the metaphor, and gave the opponent a powerful counterattack. His sharp thinking won applause from the audience.

Both sides are debating

After the game, Jiang Hang, the fourth debater from the winning w88 casino of finance, told reporters that they spent nearly a week preparing for the competition, spending 2-3 hours every day to discuss ideas, and another 4-5 hours to prepare the defense. Even before falling asleep, I was thinking about what questions my opponent would ask.

Qiu Hongwei, director of the Discipline Office of w88 casino, Wang Zhimin, professor of the Ideological and Political Department, and Tan Youzhi, associate professor of the w88 casino of International Relations, commented on the competition as judges. The judges affirmed the contestants' efforts in turning around the flashy debate style, but also pointed out that the contestants still need to work more on their thinking ability, perspective, and sensitivity.Afterwards, Yan Lihong, deputy secretary of the branch committee of the Law w88 casino, Wang Zurui, secretary of the youth league committee of the w88 casino of Finance, Hong Jiemin, secretary of the youth league committee of the law w88 casino, and Jin Ling and Pan Xu, counselors of the law w88 casino, presented awards to the winning teams and individuals.
