2024春季常规赛正在进行第三场线上比赛，不知道大家目前战绩如何？是否还在抓紧时间调整辩稿呢？
虽然政策类辩题难度较高，但是只要找对方向、条分缕析就一定能让问题迎刃而解！今天就为大家带来 政策类辩题备赛锦囊 ① 从4个方向入手助你庖丁解牛，备赛更轻松！
Prep Guide FocusedOn Policy Topics
政策类辩题备赛锦囊With the third online debate of the spring seasin coming up this weekend, are you ready?Don't worry! There are plenty more tournaments ahead. We've put together a prep guide focused on policy topics to give you a helping hand!
#1 Framework⽴论稿的框架/价值排序
At the start of your argument in policy debates, it's a good idea to highlight your most crucial value. Nowadays, many debaters assume judges use Cost Benefit Analysis to assess debates. While the framework may not always decide who wins, in policy debates, a strong framework can be your secret weapon. Clearly stating your most important value in the debate and explaining why it should be the standard for judging the entire debate can help you establish your own rule of winning.
For example, common frameworks for this season's debates include public interest (considering what benefits more people in society) and democratic core values (everyone having the right to influence political decisions).
在政策类型的⼀辩的⽴论稿的开头，建议你给裁判⼀个你⽅最重要的价值观/最想达成的⽬标。在成本效益分析(CBA) 盛⾏的时代，很多辩⼿会默认裁判采⽤CBA来衡量⽐赛的输赢。的确，在很多辩题下，价值框架对输赢也没有决定性作⽤。但是在政策辩题中，⼀个优秀的框架可能成为你的制胜法宝。清楚地告诉裁判你⽅认为⽐赛中最重要的价值，并解释为什么这应该成为裁判衡量整场⽐赛的标准，可以帮助你制定只属于你的⽐赛规则。
以春季赛的辩题中的常见框架举例，公众利益(以社会中更多⼈的利益为出发点⽽考量)或者民主核⼼价值观(⼈⼈都有权利影响政治决策)是两个不错的选择。
#2 Economic Insights 经济
While politics and economics are distinct concepts, in a capitalism context, they're mutually dependent. Explore how political lobbying impacts economic factors like tax policies, market competition, and industry growth.
For instance, how does political lobbying affect business behavior and individual interests in the US? Consider the positive and negative effects of political lobbying on the US economy in this season's debates. Which economic policies could be affected, and are these impacts ultimately positive or negative?
虽说政治和经济是两个完全不同的概念，但在美国资本主义的现实情况下，政治和经济很难被完全区分开来，互不影响。我们可以探讨政治游说对税收政策、市场竞争、⾏业发展等经济⽅⾯的影响。
⽐如，在美国，政治游说如何影响企业⾏为和个⼈利益，是否存在政治⼒量导致经济不公平的现象？在春季赛的辩题中，不妨考虑⼀下政治游说对美国的经济带来的积极和消极影响。什么样的经济政策会被影响呢？这些影响到底是好的好是坏的呢？
#3 Policy Outcome 政策落地的实际影响
Politicians' promises often have mixed results: they may promise one thing during elections but act differently afterward. Even if they implement policies as promised, whether these policies achieve their intended effects is another story. For example, think about the impact of past affirmative action in US university admissions – did they really make admissions fairer? When discussing post-policy changes, analyze how political lobbying influences aspects like social equity, economic growth, and environmental protection, and how these impacts vary across different societal groups.
⼤多数情况下，政客说的话都只能听⼀半：在选举的时候说⼀套，但是把选民的票拿到⼿之后又会再做⼀套。⽽且就算会实施他们承诺的政策，实际政策落地之后能不能达到承诺的效果又是另⼀个问题了。
如之前废除的美国⼤学录取的平权法案，到底有没有让⼤学录取更加公平呢？在讨论政策实施后的变化时，我们可以从社会公平、经济增长、环境保护等⽅⾯展开讨论，分析政治游说对这些⽅⾯带来的影响，以及这种影响对不同社会群体的影响程度。
#4 Social Justice Considerations 社会正义
Policy-making serves various purposes, from safeguarding public interests to promoting social fairness. Does political lobbying support these public interests? Does it contribute to societal fairness or reinforce existing disparities? For example, look at policies like tax exemptions – while they may benefit specific industries or individuals, do they uphold overall societal fairness and legal integrity? During preparation, think about different policies and their actual impact on societal interests.
制定⼀个政策的⽬的可以有很多，如维护公共利益，保护弱势群体权益，促进社会公平等。那么政治游说对于这些公共利益有好处吗？它究竟是让这个社会变得更加公平还是会让资源更加倾斜于这个社会的既得利益者从⽽固化阶级呢？举例税收减免的政策—这种政策可能会针对特定⾏业或个⼈实施税收减免措施，但并不⼀定考虑到整个社会的公平性和法治建设。
这样的政策可能会导致财政资源的不均衡分配，使得⼀些群体或⾏业受益。在这种政策下，个⼈可能会获得特权，但社会的整体利益和公平性可能受到影响。所以在备赛的时候⼀定要多多考虑不同的政策以及他们究竟是不是对社会整体利益有好处的。
We hope these four strategies will broaden your perspective for the spring season, enrich your
knowledge, and help you craft winning arguments for the upcoming weekends!
