  • T- Democracy Assistance (Target and Transfer)

    • Tournament: Sample Tournament | Round: 1 | Opponent: Sample Team | Judge: Sample Judge

    • A. Interpretation – Democracy assistance must be targeted at democracy and it must be a material transfer

       

      Burnell, professor of politics … and international studies at Warwick, 2000(Peter, Democracy Assistance: International co-operation for democratization, pg. 5

       

      When defining democracy assistance there … can involve somewhat arbitrary judgments.

       

      And Democracy assistance must be focused exclusively on direct political variables --- expanding it unlimits and makes effective topic discussion impossible

       

      Burnell 00 (Peter J., Professor of Politics and International Studies – University of Warwick, Democracy Assistance: International Co-operation for Democratization, p. 12-13) Democracy Assistance and Democracy's Conditions

       

      Democratization may be served best … to questions such as these.

They destroy limits which outweigh – they’re the vital access point for any theory impact --- it’s key to fairness --- huge research burdens mean we can’t prepare to compete – and its key to education --- big topics cause hyper-generics, lack of clash, and shallow debate --- and it destroys participation

      Securitization results because of fear, that fear ensures trying to control the world to such an extent that war is going to occur—only the alternative and accepting the that our circumstances are impermanent, including our identities prevents the conflicts

       David Loy, professor in the faculty of International Studies at Bunkyo University in Japan. The Great Awakening; A Buddhist Social Theory. 2003 p. 113-115

       I think we will do better to distinguish ….

       

      …. Some body was going to get bombed. –

       

      The Aff’s urge to control the world ensures that wars will continue because we find them agreeable. Wars exist as an attempt to ground the ego “I” self. With a promise that once the world is how we want it to be, we won’t feel suffering

       David Loy, Besl Professor of Ethics/ Religion and Society at Xavier University and a Zen Teacher in the linage of Koun Yamada. Money, Sex, War, Karma; Notes for a Buddhist Revolution. 2008 p. 127-138

       War is hell, and today …..

       

      …. address that basic spiritual problem. 

       

      Pluralism doesn’t exist, it is just a way of separating oneself and things in the world from each other

       David Loy, professor on the faculty of international studies at Bunkyo University, Japan and student of Zen Buddhism. Non Duality; A Study in Comparative Philosophy. 1988 p. 21-23

       It is due to the ….

       

      ….. a pluralistic world

        

      The affirmatives emphasis on freedom as an ultimate and goal worthy of pursuit can not last—as soon as someone gains freedom they look to give it away—totalitarianism, violence and war are more likely with an ontology that values freedom

       David Loy, Professor in the Faculty of International Studies at Bunkyo University, Japan.  A Buddhist History of the West; Studies in Lack. 2002 p.20-29

       THE INTERDEPENDENCE 0F FREEDOM AND TYRANNY ……

       

      …… more individualistic, selfish ways.

       

      Their advantages are attempt to satisfy cravings which prevents true freedom and right view needed to solve the affirmative, voting for the alt breaks this craving down allowing us to see the emptiness of our objects of desire

       Simon James, lecturer of philosophy at the University of Durhman, 2004 “Zen Buddhism and Environmental Ethics”, Pg 37-38

       Let us consider in more detail ….

       

      …… of his attachments. 

      Impacts

       

      Separation of Self results in war, discrimination and environmental destruction

       Ken Jones, secretary of the UK Network of Engaged Buddhist. Mindful Politics; edited by Melvin McLeod. 2006 p. 111-112

       Second is the truth that the ….

       

      …. knows what they mean.

       

      Buddhism embraces individual human liberation as opposed to social engineering which will fail to create effective change – This comes before all impacts including nuclear war

       Ken Jones, lifelong activist and a Zen practitioner for over 30 years and founding member of the UK Network of Engaged Buddhist. The New Social Face of Buddhism; a Call to action. 2003 p 39-41

       1n 1859, in the Preface ….

       

      …… credible, comprehensible -and liberative. 

       

      Alternatives Read

       

      Walk Away Alt

       

      The Alternative is to reject the Affirmative’s political considerations

       

      In order to achieve liberation and policy making that is truly able to help cope with suffering and conflict we must change our collective Karma, but that requires us looking at the policy question of the resolution and just walking away from the question entirely, only then can the collective Karma be changed to be one that embraces liberation

       Peter D. Hershock, Coordinator of the Asian Studies Development Program at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Buddhism in the Public Sphere; Reorienting global interdependence. 2006 p. 201-202

        Asked by policy-makers, ….

       

      ….. who cannot be benefited.

       

      Mindful Breathing Alt

       

      In Order to Achieve Mindfulness, We Propose the Following Alternative: Mindful Breathing.

        

      Through mindful breathing we can calm ourselves to ensure we don’t blindly follow our emotions or ideas and create suffering

       Matthew Bortholin, Huge Star Wars nerd and ordained member of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Buddhist community, and lived in Buddhist monasteries. The Dharma of Star Wars. 2005 p. 12

       EVERY DAY WE ACCUMULATE STRESS …..

       

      ….. create suffering.

       

      Case Arguments Made

       Role of the Judge is to evaluate scholarship. You do not have your hands on the levers of power, your role as a judge is to be an educator that rewards or advocates a form of scholarship. The judge should pretend that both the 1ac and 1nc are position papers being graded for quality of scholarship. If we win that the controlling of the world and the predictions of the 1ac are flawed, then we should win because their scholarship is rooted in a flawed epistemology.

       

      Current modern ideology that tries to understand how the world works only complicates our being in the world and causes the ontological insecurities that are at the root of our suffering

       Michael Brown, Department of Philosophy of Saint Mary's University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Saint Mary's Univers:ty, Halifax, Nova Scotia. THE MYTH OF ABSURDITY: ACRITICAL EXAMINATION OF ALBERT CAMUS'THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS FROM A BUDDHIST PERSPECTIVE, A Thesis for Masters of Arts at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.  April 1995 pg. 1-4

       As the twentieth century advanced, …

       

      …. experience of the individual.

       

       

       

      The suffering the aff aims to solve might seem nice, but its simply a stop gap solution- the root of suffering lies in the mind and the aff can’t liberate us from that suffering—prefer the alternatives way to alleviate suffering

       Thubten Chodron, studied and practiced Buddhism in India and Nepal since 1975and resident teacher at Dharma Friendship Foundation in Seattle. Buddhism for Beginners 2001 p 104

       In addition, we must remember …..

       

      ….. own and others' suffering

       

       

       

      Without the recognition of interdependence the affirmative will fail to solve and ensures our suffering

       David Loy, Besl Professor of Ethics/ Religion and Society at Xavier University and a Zen Teacher in the linage of Koun Yamada. Money, Sex, War, Karma; Notes for a Buddhist Revolution. 2008 p. 84-85

       

      Of course, I do not ….

       

      ….. world needs today.

       

       

       

      Politics on the macro level will never accomplish what is needed—it is the individuals and their relationships with the world that will transform the world to allow for peace

      Kelvin McLeod, Editor in Chief of Shambhala Sun magazine and Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Journal and Also attended the National Defense College of Canada. Mindful Politics; edited by Melvin McLeod. 2006 p. 9-11

  • T- Allocation & Distribution

    • Tournament: | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:

    • A. Interpretation – Substantially increase Democracy Assistance means increasing both the amount allocated for democracy assistance and the actual amount distributed.

       

      Increase means to make greater in size

      Merriam-Webster 2005(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/increase, dictionary, November 13 2005, DA 6/21/11, OST)

       

      “to become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity)”

       

       

      Democracy Assistance is both the amount allocated through appropriations and the actual amount distributed

      Government Accountability Office ‘09

      [September, ―DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE U.S. Agencies Take Steps to Coordinate International Programs but Lack Information on Some U.S.-funded Activities,‖ http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PCAAB950.pdf]

      USAID, State DRL, and NED fund democracy assistance programs in countries throughout the world. USAID‘s and State DRL‘s foreign assistance programs are funded under the Foreign Operations appropriation and tracked by State as part of GJD funding, while NED‘s core budget is funded under the State Operations appropriation and is not tracked as part of GJD foreign assistance funding.

       

       

      B.  The affirmative does not increase the amount that is allocated AND the amount that is distributed. .  To be topical you must increase both

       

       

      C.  Reason to Prefer  

       

      1) Requiring both allocation and distribution is the only way to ensure uniqueness for budget and perception based disadvantages

       

      2) Increasing allocation and not disbtribution allows for “say no” arguments and then claim advantages off of the mere allocation but not anything at all happening within topic countries.

       

      3) Prevents Bidirectionality by claiming they increase the amount that is allocated but that is rejected and makes the US look weak with a Heg bad or a destroy democratic credibility advantages.

       

      4) Ensures Predictable ground for both budget disads and arguments that the distribution of the assistance is bad.

       

      D. Voting Issue for fairness, education and ground

      Deterrence is a complex concept…

      ….the entire human race

       

      Even if we lose that the plan does not prevent conflict internally, it prevents those conflicts from escalating.  It also has empirically allowed to exert our hegemony to challenge authoritarian regimes – solves all of the affirmative

      Observation I:  Counterplan Competes and Solves the Case

       

      The plan requires branding in order to be topical.  Without an explicit exemption the democracy assistance given by the plan is branded as per normal means.

      The logic of gift giving ensures that the donor is acquiring social power as the recipient becomes indebted to the donor. This social power results in domination and a heirarchialization

       

      Hattori 1 (Tomohisa, Assistant Professor of Political Science @ Lehman College, Review of International Political Economy, Vol. 8, No. 4 (Winter, 2001), pp. 633-660)

       

      Giving is an especially

      …..hierarchy  over  time.

       

       

       

      The constant subjugation created by the gift giving prevents empathy

      The Counter Plan parallels the Jainist Renouncer’s collection of food alms. Individual donations are compiled and distributed by a third party external to the recipient and the donor. In doing so the identity of the donor is subsumed into an undifferentiated substance. The lack of transparency in the relationship between the donor and recipient prevents the obligation of reciprocity and feelings of self-gratitude.
