Proposition 正方

For the proposition, teams can argue that a mandatory life skills course gives students more practical and relevant knowledge for real world scenarios and even independence. Many students graduate knowing how to conjugate verbs in another language but cannot manage personal finances, prepare a meal, or fix basic problems in their homes.

They can argue that such a class would close the gap between academic knowledge and real-life application. Students learn to handle adult responsibilities early, that means less stress or dependence on others in the future. In countries Where young adults are hit with significant financial problems, such skills result in improved decision-making, much less debts, and more independence.

Teams could also emphasize that most students rarely use their second foreign language after school. But on the other hand, life skills like budgeting, taxes, or first aid are universally needed. Therefore, the school curriculum should prioritize utility over tradition. Finally, prop sides can argue that a life skills course would create more equal opportunity, students from less privileged backgrounds often lack access to parents or mentors who can teach these things at home.

Opposition 反方

On the Opposition side, teams should argue that the removal of the second foreign language does more harm than good. Learning another language builds more than just vocabulary, it teaches communication, comprehension, empathy, and cross-cultural understanding. As the world becomes more and more globalized, bilingualism improves job opportunities and strengthens international cooperation.

Teams can also show that learning a new language boosts cognitive development, students improve memory, problem-solving, and creativity. Replacing this with life skills might seem practical in the short term but reduces the long-term intellectual and cultural benefits that multilingual education brings.

moreover, the Opposition may argue that schools already have ways to teach life skills indirectly through clubs, projects, and extracurricular activities. Forcing it as a compulsory class will overpack the curriculum and detract time from the other fundamental subjects. They can also claim that the objective should not be to replace one valuable subject with another, but to integrate life skills gradually within existing programs instead of sacrificing language learning altogether.

Proposition 正方

For the Proposition, teams can contend that taxing irreparable items promotes environmental sustainability and also reduces waste. Most modern products, particularly electronics, are intentionally designed to be hard or impossible to fix, compelling consumers to purchase new ones constantly. That "throwaway culture" results in increased pollution, depletion of natural resources, and clogging landfills at alarming levels.

Teams can show that if these products are taxed, it would push businesses to design with the aim of durability and reparability. When the repairable products are cheaper and non-repairable products more expensive, both firms and consumers will have a subconscious tendency to shift towards sustainable consumption. And this, in a way, over the years, can help instigate a circular economy, one where products are recycled, repaired, and reused instead of being constantly replaced.

Prop teams can also argue that this policy is fair even from a moral standpoint. Corporations profit from planned obsolescence while consumers foot the bill for constant replacement. A tax acts to equalize by making corporations pay for the social and environmental harm their designs cause. Finally, this tax can fund recycling programs, repair education, or environmentally friendly efforts, creating a long-term public good for all of society.

Opposition 反方

For the opposition, teams should argue that denying welfare to illegal immigrants is immoral and counterproductive. To withhold medical treatment, housing, or food stamps only increases human misery, resulting in public health crises and increased social unrest. Most illegal aliens already contribute economically to the country through labor and taxes (e.g. sales tax), so denying them welfare is unjust.

Opposition sides can also contend that not having welfare has indirect costs to governments, e.g. higher emergency healthcare costs, increased crime rates due to desperation, and lower productivity from untreated illnesses. Providing basic support also strengthens integration, public safety, and labor stability. Instead of punishing the vulnerable populations, the governments can focus on immigration reform and pathways to legal status, preserving humane treatment while maintaining social order at the same time.
