Sunglasses do more harm than good.

I would like to start off with some definitions: morï¿½al    [mawr-uhl, mor-] Show IPA –adjective 1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes. 2. expressing or conveying truths or counsel as to right conduct, as a speaker or a literary work; moralizing: a moral novel. 3. founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations. . http://dictionary.reference.com... sunglasses Spectacles that have tinted lenses. They are used to protect the eyes from bright sunlight, for special cases (e. g. fear of light) or for cosmetic reasons. . http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com... And now to my arguments. Alright, so anyone who has had a pair of sunglasses must admit they have their advantages. They reduce the sun's glare to minimize damage from the sun and maximize comfort, they (as my opponent brought up) aid the blind in protecting their eyes, and they are used for aesthetic purposes (i. e. looking fashionable), but today, arguing as the Po, I would like to clarify why sunglasses, indeed, do more harm than good. Contention 1: Immoral Uses You may have wondered why I defined "moral" in my definitions, and here's why: Sunglasses allow one to partake in immoral acts. - The beach. Everyone has seen people wearing sunglasses on the beach. Its the logical place to use them, but they allow one to stare at another person's body in an act of lust that is usually deemed immoral and at the very least rude. In the article below, the author is "people watching" and wishes he had a pair of sunglasses to hide the direction of his eyes. He continues, nonetheless, and when discovered has to pretend he was doing something else, for the subject gives him a rude stare. The subject he was staring at was a pretty woman. . http://islandfreepress.org... -Cheating. It is well known that cheaters use any means necessary to give themselves an unfair advantage. Sunglasses are often used to aid cheaters in cheating. Below is an article on the use of sunglasses to cheat in poker games. . http://www.onlinepoker.net... A video from Youtube on how to use sunglasses to cheat on a test is included in this argument. . http://www.youtube.com... Sunglasses aid one to partake in these immoral acts and more, and because of these things sunglasses do more harm than good. Contention 2: Producers Sunglasses have many different brands, and this makes one assume that there are many different producers. Not so. In the article below, it is showed who really makes theses sunglasses. In the case of almost all designer sunglasses, 70%, are produced by one company. An Italian company. Luxottica produces 70% of designer sunglasses sold in the U. S. in its factories in Italy. Not only does this take away American manufacturing jobs, but if based in the U. S. this company would be considered to have a monopoly on the designer sunglasses market. Not only do sunglasses take away jobs, but the company that produces a majority of them as control on that market. Perhaps this is why designer sunglasses are far more expensive than they need to be. . http://www.neatorama.com... Now, if the sunglasses market was more diverse, cheaper, and were produced in the U. S. , sunglasses would do more good than they do now, but unfortunately this is not the case. Sunglasses, the way they exist now, do more harm than good. In conclusion, no one can doubt that sunglasses have their benefits. Unfortunately, sunglasses allow one to partake in immoral acts and hurt the U. S. economy by taking away jobs and keeping hold on the market in the hands of a single corporation. Therefore, I strongly affirm with the resolution by saying Sunglasses do more harm than good, and I ask voters to take my side on this debate.
