Topic: Migrants & Refugees
Order Description
4/12/16 Debate Proposition: “Migration into Europe should be limited to the decisions of the Heads of Government of Europe”
When the migration crisis became the top news around the world, much of Europe opened its arms and welcomed migrants and refugees. Then as the situation rapidly became overwhelming, threatening and hostile, the borders began to close and European nations became more cautious about who should enter and who should leave. Humanitarian agencies and others have condemned this attitude.
This debate is mandatory.
You are to look at the issue from both sides. On the day of the debate you will be randomly selected to present a point of view advocating for Heads of Europe to decide migration/refugee admission and rejection policies or a point of view rejecting the concept that the Heads of State should not have that power and that the borders should be open for anyone in need. That is why you need to study both sides of the issue.
You may also conclude that there is room for a compromise solution from both sides: Present your solution.
You may use your notes to assist your talk and I will collect them for documentation purposes (add your name).
Time limit is ~5-7 minutes per person. This will allow time for questions, scoring and discussion.
Simply repeating what had been said in earlier presentations will not suffice and will affect your score. Therefore, be original.
