Resolved: Empowering women is the best way to help the global economy recover from our current economic crisis.
This is the affirmative argument in our upcoming debate. There are many reasons to believe that this is true. In comments to this post, please write out supporting points in the ARE format (Argument, Reasoning, Evidence).
Example:
Argument:
Women Should Be Empowered because Men Created this Crisis.
Reasoning:
You would not put a criminal in charge of a jail; you do not ask the coach of the last place team to coach in the Super Bowl; you don't ask students with F's to teach the class. Why, then, would we ask men, who created our current economic crisis, to solve the problem?
Evidence:
Men are in charge of the vast majority of countries. Men are in charge of the vast majority of major corporations. Men are in charge in the majority of households. Our governments, our corporations, and our household decisions over the past few decades led us into our current economic crisis. Why should we trust men to get us out of the problem, when they are the leaders who got us into the problem in the first place?
Consider the other arguments we discussed in class, and attempt to write your own ARE for several of them.
