      Motions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      R1:<\/strong> THW allow long term prisoners to choose the death penalty.<\/p>\n

      R2:<\/strong>\u00a0THR the rise and dominance of aspirational narratives in western politics
      \nInfo Slide: For the purpose of the debate, aspirational narratives refer to narratives of the personal aspiration of citizens.\u00a0<\/em>
      \nFor example, anyone can achieve success through hard work; backing those who choose to work hard and get on in life.<\/em>
      \nThis rhetoric has risen over the past few decades, being employed by politicians from Barack Obama to Margaret Thatcher.<\/em><\/p>\n

      R3<\/strong>:\u00a0THB the US should stage a military intervention in North Korea.<\/p>\n

      R4:<\/strong>\u00a0This house regrets the dominance of sex positivity in modern feminism
      \nInfo Slide: Se<\/em>x positivity is an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, encouraging sexual pleasure and experimentation. It is also tends to be critical of monogamy.<\/em><\/p>\n

      R5:<\/strong>\u00a0THR the Israeli anti-boycott acts.
      \nInfo Slide: There are 25 states in the USA that have an Israeli anti-boycott act, which criminalises all businesses that boycott Israel and Israeli companies.<\/em><\/p>\n

      QF:<\/strong>\u00a0THBT nation states should be allowed to offer collateral when borrowing money from global financial institutions (ECB, IMF, World Bank)<\/p>\n

      SF:<\/strong>\u00a0THR the denuclearisation of\u00a0Ukraine.
      \n<\/span>Info Slide: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine held about one third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, the third largest in the world at the time, as well as significant means of design and production. In 1994, Ukraine agreed to destroy the weapons and join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In exchange, the UK, the US and Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, guaranteeing Ukrainian territorial integrity and security.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Novice Final:<\/strong>\u00a0TH prefers a centrally led planned economy over an unplanned i.e. capitalist free market economy
      \nInfo Slide: Planned economies involve centralized state planning and administrative decision making. In planned economies, important allocation decisions are made by government authorities and are imposed by law. Planned economies are held in contrast to unplanned economies, specifically market economies, where production, distribution, pricing and investment decisions are made by autonomous firms operating in markets.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Grand Final:<\/strong>\u00a0From behind a veil of ignorance, THW rather be born in the City of Omelas than a city in this world where you would have an average standard of life (eg: London, Dublin, Amsterdam, etc).
      \n<\/span>The City of Omelas is a paradise of 100 people. There is no suffering, want, or inclination for one to rule over one another. In order to maintain this state, a single unfortunate child must be chosen by lottery to be imprisoned in perpetual filth, darkness, and misery for life.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
