If you missed: 10/19

How to refute and respond to attacks
(Hannah will hopefully get this information to you on the facebook group. . . or maybe this blog. I don't know)


Social contracts - used by more ignorant debaters, so DON'T FALL FOR THEM. While in themselves really cool, social contracts by famous philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseu aren't relatable to present day situations

Hobbes social contract
1) State of nature - you can only get what you can grow
2) Obligation of state - must protect from anarchy
3) Obl. of citizens - follow laws, and the only right is to protect their lives.

Look up Locke and Rousseu's social contracts, and study them.
