Ronald Reagan was a bad president.

Reagan armed Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war despite the fact that it was widely known Iraq was using chemical weapons in violation of International law. Reagan armed Iran during the Iran-Iraq war in direct violation of a U.S. law that he had signed. http://www.u-s-history.com... http://middleeast.about.com... After Reagan sent Marines to Beirut for a peacekeeping mission, a terrorist"s truck bomb killed 241 U.S. Marines. Reagan responded by immediately doing exactly what the terrorists wanted and pulled all the troops out of Beirut. http://middleeast.about.com... Reagan was weak when it can to terrorism, and didn't keep his promises.After the bombing of Beirut, Reagan promised to track down and punish the terrorists who committed that horrible act. He never followed up on that promise. To go on with the fact that he was a liar,Reagan illegally supplied weapons to Nicaraguan rebels in violation of a law that he himself had signed. http://www.u-s-history.com... He supported the wrong people.President Reagan illegally supported the Nicaraguan Contras, who he called "Freedom Fighters" even though they killed civilians and wanted to restore the dictatorship that previously existed in Nicaragua. As you can see, this is no president to me.
Technology in the classroom

While technology can take time for teachers and students to adapt, with trial and error before students and teachers begin to see results. Once teachers incorporate technology into their lessons and students gain the basic skills to use technology the results can be significant. technology may not have the same significant impact on A students as it may on students who struggle. the skills that can be taught to students is great. some of hose valuable skills can be, fast typing, how to use search engines and properly find trustworthy websites. Technology also allows teachers more flexibility in their lesson plans, which can give students increased focus. Without technology being introduced to students at an early age, they wont be well prepared for the growing world around them. We need to prepare the next generation for what is going to come and this is the best way of doing that.
Technology in the classroom

While technology is able to help some students in school, overall students have a harder time focusing on longer assignments. A student may find it boring, or see it as a time to stop paying attention, instead, goofing around or talking in class. There are many distractions as well when using the internet, and while it could be unintentional, as in stumbling upon an interesting website, a student may waste time and because of this a project can take longer than needed. There is also the problem that students will put less effort into their work, as it is easy for students to simply copy and paste information they find instead of citing others' work or putting it into their own words. Along with this comes the problem of using "texting language" or disregarding spelling mistakes or grammar errors, such as forgetting to capitalize letters, or leaving sentence fragments. Technology can also result in difficulty for teachers. Sometimes, finding the right materials online to make a lesson plan can be hard, depending on the topic of the lesson plan. This leads to the teacher needing more time just to plan the lesson. Also, a teacher's style of teaching does not necessarily change depending on whether or not he or she uses technology, and a student still may not do well in a class as a result of the teacher. In this case, technology usage by a teacher could be a factor that contributes to a student struggling with a class.
Technology in the classroom

Technology in the classroom has major benefits. In todays world education varies from school not matter what country you are in. same goes for the students. There are so man students at different levels in the classrom, and with tradtitional teaching techniques, nothing can be really well taylored to the students needs. When technology is added to the classroom the students can become more involved. The student beomes more engaged when they have to press buttons and actively participate in the class. A typical lecure by a teacher cannot do that. Technology can spark a passion for learning for in a student and even bring students who are falling behind in class up to speed. Teachers need to realize that one teaching style does not work great for everyone, and technology can eliminate that issue and still make it simple for teachers to use. In the long run technology proves to be a great help and improves the education that the students are getting, while at the same time making the teachers lives easier.
Technology in the classroom

No matter how technology may help students or teachers, there is always the issue of reliability. At any moment, technology may stop working, right when it is needed the most, and depending on the skill level of the person using the technology, one may not know what is wrong or how to fix it. For example, a computer could freeze, or a printer could jam, and as a result, a teacher may need to call in someone from the staff who works with the technology. Handwritten print on the board cannot crash as a computer can, and when a problem such as this occurs, a teacher will have to resort to these simple yet effective methods of teaching to accommodate the lesson plan anyway, even though the teacher may not have a backup plan. Also, the quality of the technology can affect speed and performance. When it takes a long time for a classroom computer or projector to start up, it wastes class time that could be used to learn what is needed instead of sitting and waiting. The goal of a class should be to use time efficiently, and technology often works against that goal. When prepared, a class can function well with the use of technology, but even in these situations, a sudden "Not Responding" screen can slow down the class and waste time. Technology is good for recreation, but when there is a deadline, it can not always be relied upon for the needed result.
Technology in the classroom

The negatives do not balance out the positives. Technology opens doors for students that were never there before, it does benefit all students. With technology the students explore the Internet and how to use technology and learn new things constantly. They begin to teach themselves new things, by just search what they want to know. The teacher is now not the only one with the answer to a students problem. technology gives students the power to explore whatever they want because it is right at their fingertips. Technology can span across many subjects and areas of interest. History teachers can pull up videos on current events for class discussions. Science teachers can search science experiment videos as visual aids for their students. An English teacher can search up articles for students to read. This all benefits the student, using information from current events is better than using an outdated textbook from ten years ago. A student who is taught with up to date information benefits the student greatly. Saying that all students benefit from technology doesn't generalize their learning capability. Technology doesn't benefit every student in every area. But there is always something for them to learn from . Such as how to search for information, or how to make presentations, answer their own questions and teach themselves. Or a student could already be great with PowerPoint presentations. But with the ability to search for new information and learn new skills. They can learn how to do more things with a PowerPoint and make themselves better than before. Technology has its benefit in so many ways they could never be counted, and in today's world students need these skills. Technology just makes our students more knowledgeable.
Technology in the classroom

The combination of negatives balances out the positives, to the point where technology is not necessarily helpful in each situation a teacher or student may encounter. To say that technology benefits all students generalizes each child's learning ability, and the teacher's ability to teach the class. Speaking from personal experience, I usually do not want to take the time to log on the computer to type (optionally) an essay where I could potentially become distracted, when I could just as easily hand write it without any hassle. On the opposite side, some students feel they complete work better with a computer, if that is what works for them. Technology should be an open-ended resource for what works best for the child. Again, with the problem of online resources, it is too easy for students to simply take information they find and put it in their work. Also, some of the best resources are books, new or old, that are not able to be found online, that contain more in-depth information on a subject that can greatly benefit a student. Through the use of online libraries, students may also lose the knowledge needed on how to properly look up a book for themselves.
Technology in the classroom

Technology may be hard to update to obtain the newest model, but just because the computer or device is not the newest or the greatest it is not still usable. Many computers can last a long time and the updates that may be required is only software,and almost all computers today can do this, so there should not be an issue there. Also technology is a great resource while it improve every students grades and how they collaborate with people. it is still a great tool. many schools are now establishing e-libraries for their students. Libraries that can be accessed by any student or teacher in the school from where ever. This makes research papers that much easier. many students today are stretched to the max with homework and after school activities. With an online library a student does not need to take the time to go to the library and save much needed time for other things. it is a major convenience and should be installed in every school. online libraries are also low maintenance, and cost effective. schools do not have to worry about un-returned books, or damaged ones. there is never a need to replace them. and it is easier to update the library with new books and not have to pay as much as if they bought the physical book.
Technology in the classroom

At school, a student should try and help another who may be struggling, whether technology is being used in the classroom or not. The use of technology should not determine how children treat each other in a class. Technology should not be a factor that hinders any student's learning; instead, students should have the option to work with technology if they will benefit, if necessary. It is true that more often than not, a home will have a computer, but this does not mean each and every home is equal in that respect. Modern technology, whether it be cellular phones or computers, is expensive. Some homes cannot afford to buy the best or "newest version" each time one is released, and as older computers start to need new parts, these can sometimes be hard to obtain, due to a limited production or a cease in production entirely. Students with personal laptops will face these problems, sometimes having to replace the laptop completely with a newer model in order to accommodate school needs. Along with this, if more technology is used in school, more staff will be needed to make sure everything is functioning as it should, resulting in the school not only spending more money on more machines, but also paying more to the staff regularly.
Technology in the classroom

Understandably there are students that do not have Internet access. Yet that issue is becoming less prevalent as time goes on. In this day and age technology is doubling every 18 months and more and more people have access to the Internet. making the issue of a student not having a computer irrelevant. Another benefit of technology can be the collaborative skill that is fostered in students who use technology. When student are put into group project that require technology they begin to tutor each other, looking over each others shoulders you could say. The students who excel in technology or are getting ahead of the others love to help those who may not be entirely up to speed. these students learn how to work together. Which in this day and age is a very important skill to have. traditional teaching sometimes creates competition between students to see who does better. While that can be good to instill competition. It can lead to students refusing to work collaboratively, and not accepting criticism on their work, and there needs to be a balance. that's is why technology should be incorporated into the classroom.
Technology in the classroom

It is good for students to understand how to use modern technology; however, technology should not overtake the class in every aspect. It has been proved that people who read text that is printed, especially in one's own handwriting, are able to remember more, comprehend more, and learn more than those who read digital text. If students use laptops in class, they may take notes, but they would not be taking the time to write down each word letter by letter, instead, typing out the notes. Some students as well do not have access to the same level of technology in their homes in order to complete assignments. One child may have a computer that has all the necessary applications for school, but another may have to make time to go to a local library, if there is no home computer, or if it is not functioning properly. Another student may have a computer, but it is being used by a family member for work, for example. This can set back convenience and put pressure on the student to find time and computer or Internet access.
can we able to know a person without speaking through body language

Hello, and thanks for responding to my argument. I'm really sorry, but your writing is incredibly difficult to read with the lack of punctuation, capitalization, and general grammar. I'm just going to respond to a few points, as some of them are slightly confusing to me. "see if you have helped somebody and you met that person somewhere but he is not talking to you and ignoring you his body language telling you something don't you find him rude or mean." Everyone interprets this differently, as shown by your comment here. You may find it rude but personally I wouldn't because I would pick up on the fact that he's busy, or just doesn't want to talk to me at that moment. I would then leave him alone and let him do his own thing. "yes i do agree that for job interview a body language expert can tel many thing about the person what he is saying is important but how he is saying is most important. suppose i am saying to interviewer that i am confident girl but my body language shows i am weak so he will definitely have doubt." Yes, as I stated earlier I believe that body language is incredibly important in job interviews, and can play perhaps an even larger role in seeing if you get the job. This is not what we are arguing however, we are arguing that you do not need to talk to someone AT ALL to get to know them. "even there is a course if we find a stranger our brain chemicals get activated telling us wheather we should talk to that person or not it a course many people learning now a days." This just proves my own point farther, you can get a base understanding of someone from their body language, but to really get to know them you need to actually speak to them. "i am not saying that we can come to know about a person completely by his body language but i am saying we can conclude some good / bad qualities of him correctly" That's not what you had previously stated in the beginning, you had stated that you can get to know a person without any speaking at all. If instead you had said "Is it possible to learn some good/bad qualities about someone without speaking to them, and only through body language?" than this would be an entirely different claim. "see if you find a decent woman on a road who have fell down you will sure go and help her .but if supose i replace that decent woman with a woman who is not walking properly having shaky walk her body language is rude her apperience is miserable and fall down on road no body will come to help her because you guys will conclude that she might be drunk not good person no sympathy for her etc etc" This is completely irrelevant, and entirely subjective to who is passing them on the road. As you can see, my opponent seems to be unclear of his own stance, or rather I am misunderstanding something. I had fun debating, I'm fairly new at this so this is all a learning experience to me. Thank you.
can we able to know a person without speaking through body language

hi ok thank you for replying .wow nice reply . see if you have helped somebody and you met that person somewhere but he is not talking to you and ignoring you his body language telling you something don't you find him rude or mean. you said that the person might be busy . but dont you think so that it hardly takes 5 sec for a good person to say he is busy. and if somebody is busy like in ticket counter or any office we do understand don't we. ok if somebody is not well still that person can communicate with us but if that person is repeating this type of body language again and again than what will you call it . yes if some body is not interested in you and you are stranger than its a different case. yes i do agree that for job interview a body language expert can tel many thing about the person what he is saying is important but how he is saying is most important. suppose i am saying to interviewer that i am confident girl but my body language shows i am weak so he will definitely have doubt. ok i am agree with your 'online chatting 'point even in social networking site we chat with many people .even there also we can miss understand a person. for knowing a person understanding is most important not just speaking or chatting. even a person can be fake when we chat with some one. but in body language if a person who can be anyone a kid or adult can able to know a person .even see our pets who can not speak but with the help of body language they can show us affection and we can show them too. even take example of my cat my uncle don't like her so he ignores her and my cat get scared too. even there is a course if we find a stranger our brain chemicals get activated telling us wheather we should talk to that person or not it a course many people learning now a days. yes i know and i am completely agree that for knowing a person we require to give time we require to understand him/ her . i am not saying that we can come to know about a person completely by his body language but i am saying we can conclude some good / bad qualities of him correctly see if you find a decent woman on a road who have fell down you will sure go and help her .but if supose i replace that decent woman with a woman who is not walking properly having shaky walk her body language is rude her apperience is miserable and fall down on road no body will come to help her because you guys will conclude that she might be drunk not good person no sympathy for her etc etc
can we able to know a person without speaking through body language

I would like to politely ask pro to use punctuation and to spell check his arguments, as to make them easier to read. To be clear we are arguing that you can get to know somebody without speaking, just through body language. Am I correct? "See body language is a science . if some body ignores you without any reason dint you find him bad person or mean." To assume somebody is a bad person just because he ignores you, is an extremely ignorant way to judge people. It is entirely possible that he is currently busy, is not feeling well, or simply does not feel like talking to you. "Body language says allot ." I agree, body language is extremely important in person to person conversations. its mirror of our mind 80% of our communication depends up on body language I disagree, if body language was 80% of all communication than chatting online to strangers would be incredibly difficult, and near impossible. Also that 20% is still there, meaning you still need to talk. "police can able to identify a person with self detector instrument or facial expression." Yes, the police can tell if somebody is lying, or nervous, through body language. This however, has no relevance to the fact that you can not get to know somebody on a personal level just through body language. "Even for job interview body language plays a very important role a trained body language expert sits to analysis the candidate." I agree 100%, but you cannot go into a job interview and convey everything about you through body language and not speak at all. My stance is that you need to talk/write to get to know somebody, or listen to them talk. You can certainly use body language to influence what people think of you, but you cannot rely only upon that.

The Trump Travel Ban was Beneficial to the United States

"I think it would be dangerous to judge them all as peaceful just because most of them are." -Pro, Round 3So to clarify, you admit that most of them are peaceful, but because of a small minority of them are dangerous, you want to stop all of them from those countries. I would say that most African Americans are peaceful as well, but some of them in the U.S. are dangerous, and have been rioting and putting the live of people in danger. I suppose, by your logic, if we designated an area of the country for them to live in, the U.S. would be a peaceful state. Of course, we wouldn't because that would be discriminatory. Q.E.D."It's not banning people based on their religion, as over 80% of Muslims can still enter the country." -Pro, Round 3The list of countries Trump banned was based on a list created by the Obama administration of countries with Muslim majorities. However, the basis for your defense of the Travel Ban is that Muslims do not belong in America at all (I'll provide a quote below), so I don't think trying to defend a ban by saying that over 80% of Muslims can still enter the country is valid given that you believe that is a weakness of the ban."...I actually do think that more countries should be added..." -Pro, Round 1 "Take a look at polls of what Muslims actually believe. They are not good people to be living in Western Society." -Pro, Round 1Those quotes solidify that a deep-rooted disdain for Muslims based on the actions of a minority of radicals is the basis of your argument, which should either validate or disprove your argument in the eyes of the voters.
