Multilingualism is obligatory.

*I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes in this round. Although I have 10 hours left to post my argument, my government is shutting down the internet in 2 hours and it will not come back on until after 7 hours, in which it will be 5 AM and I will be asleep.*Disclaimer:-Pro has explained that the previous round was not for refutations. I would like to defend myself by making it known that I was aware of this in Round 1. However, apart from its violation of freedom of choice, I have no original arguments. Furthermore, seeing that I am arguing against your resolution, my refutations are my arguments. But I thank Pro for dismissing this issue.Counter-Rebuttals: "This argument is valid, but I still do not agree. I very much support freedom of choice, but I truly believe that multilingualism is obligatory. It happens to be my opinion." -Pro has conceded the validity of my argument and has not provided a rebuttal, saying online that his opinion states otherwise."I grant my opponent this argument. However, these are only one group of tribes, consisting of only a very, very small portion of the entire human race."-Pro has conceded yet again. However, Pro argues that because my example covered a small number of people, it should still be obligatory. I'd like to make clear that there are many more people around the world aside from the hill tribe people in Thailand. Also, the hill tribe people are not as small in population as Pro thinks. Their population is estimated to be between 7 - 14 million people. [1]"I also believe in freedom of choice, but I believe that multilingualism is simply something that is obligatory. Even if you do not want to learn another language and even if you do not intend to travel the world, it will help you."-Pro's claims are contradictory. Pro claims that he "believes in freedom of choice", yet he also believes in forcing people to learn another language."It can come to your rescue in an emergency situation."-Pro has not met his burden of proof for this statement. Furthermore, is that really a reason to enforce this policy upon everyone in the world? Tasers, guns, and other weapons can come to your rescue in an emergency situation. Yet, they are not made obligatory.-Knowledge in first aid can come to your rescue in an emergency situation, in many cases, more helpful than knowing another language. Yet, it is not made obligatory."Actually, a cup of coffee is not worth learning German. I must agree with my opponent here. However, a cup of coffee is only one of seemingly infinite scenarios."-Pro has conceded again. Also, in my example, I explained that if that man was only visiting Germany for a day, then the cup of coffee is only one of seemingly limited scenarios and it is certainly not worth it to learn German so that you can have a proper conversation with German people for one day."In certain specific cases - like the one regarding the hill tribe people - it should not be obligatory. I, however, personally believe that it is obligatory for middle class and upper class individuals in developed countries."-In this statement, Pro has negated his own resolution.-Pro has also explained his opinions, which were not supported.Sources:[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...(Thailand)*I don't have much time left.
