Team break<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Out of the contingent of the Association of German Speaking University Debating Societies (VDCH) we are very happy to report the break of one team at this year\u2019s Worlds in Malaysia! In the category “English as a foreign language” (EFL) the team Potsdam A (comprised of Mathias Hamann<\/strong> and Moritz Kirchner<\/strong>) broke in 4th place with 14 team points in total. The next round for them will be the EFL Semi Final on Friday, 2 January 2015. It will take place at 1 pm local time in Malaysia (which translates into 6 am local time in Germany) and will be streamed via Malaysia Worlds\u2019 YouTube channel Malaysian Debaters TV<\/strong><\/a>. Their opponents will be Bauman A (Russia), Adam Mickiewicz A (Poland) and Seoul NUDA A (South Korea), the exact draw of the positions will be done right before the Semi Final starts.<\/p>\n

\"logo_banner\"<\/a>Additionally, in the category “English as a second language” (ESL) the team Berlin C (comprised of Christof Kebschull<\/strong> and Pegah Maham<\/strong>) got in 15th place with 15 team points in total. However, the team was not eligible for breaking because both speakers do not belong to the same debating society, which is required in the WUDC constitution.<\/span> The team itself had asked the Chief adjudicators to be exempted from the break. This information got lost during the break night, causing some confusion around whether or not the team would compete during the outrounds.<\/p>\n

Open Break<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Princeton B, who tied for 48th with Pennsylvania A were on the exact same number of wins, speaker points, 1sts, 2nds, 3rds and 4ths after the preliminary rounds. This tie was resolved by a coin toss, as stated by the rules of the WUDC Council.<\/div>\n

\"Women's<\/a>

Women’s Night in Malaysia with a debate on the motion “This House regrets the role of alcohol in social life.” \u00a9 2014 Matthias Carcasona<\/p><\/div>\n

The motions<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

R1:<\/strong> This House regrets the decline of tightly integrated families.<\/p>\n

R2:<\/strong> Infoslide: Climate engineering is a deliberate and large-scale intervention in earth’s climatic system in an effort to combat Global Warming. Climate engineering may take many forms; Examples include, but are not limited to, planting large forests where none previously existed, fertilizing the ocean with iron to dramatically increase the population of algae, and increasing cloud coverage so less sunlight reaches earth’s suface.<\/em> This house believes that environmental movements should support climate engineering that fundamentally alters the environment, in an attempt to combat Global Warming.<\/p>\n

R3:<\/strong> This House believes that in areas of socio-economic deprivation, schools should train students in vocational skills to the exclusion of the Liberal Arts.<\/p>\n

R4:<\/strong> This House would prohibit the media from reporting on the mental illness of those accused of crimes.<\/p>\n

R5:<\/strong> This House belives that the international community should cut off internet access in Syria.<\/p>\n

R6:<\/strong> This House belives that developing countries should adopt economic development policies that heavily disincentivise urbanisation.<\/p>\n

R7:<\/strong> Infoslide: Over the last decade, scientists have identified a range of chemicals that exist naturally in the brain and shape individuals’ moral behaviour. Significant amounts of research is now being carried out to create “moral enhancement drugs”, which would alter the levels of such chemicals. Such drugs have been shown to increase individuals’ tendencies to display empathy and care for others, to behave in altruistic way, and to resist pressures to act in ways that violate their personal ethical beliefs.<\/em> This House would ban the research and production of moral enhancement drugs.<\/p>\n

R8:<\/strong> This House believes that the United States and the European Union should seek to promote peace by heavily subsidising Israeli businesses who invest in the Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n

R9:<\/strong> This House, as a medical professional employed by the United States military or security services, would, and would encourage others, to refuse orders to provide medical treatment to individuals undergoing “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”.<\/p>\n
