The House Regrets The Rise Of A 'Hookup Culture'

"The opposition began their argument by disregarding the negative effects of the 'hookup culture' and by going on to say"Pro stated in Round 1 that Round 2 was supposed to be opening arguments only. I wasn't supposed to respond to the negative effects that he provided in Round 2."These students require a balance between healthy relationships and sexual pleasure. They are not obtaining the former component. For we need healthy relationships to survive: to get the best out of ourselves, and out of others. If not, we become confused, and lonely."This is exclusively Pro's opinion.Not a fact. Students are not required to do anything except follow the code of conduct of a school. There is nothing at all in schools conduct about how students should behave outside of school. Here is an example of New York City's Public Schools code of conduct[1]. So they are not required to have this balance even according to the schools. We don't need healthy relationships to survive. Pro has just stated opinion only.[1]http://schools.nyc.gov..."Students are no longer looking to find long-term lovers, but mere men and women who they can have a 'one night stand' with. This culture encompasses physical pleasure. I stress this point, students are contented with finding physical pleasure, and not looking for long-term relationships. Thus i believe this point of the oppositions to be wrong."Of course the students are trying out whom they would to have as long time lover. Why should they be confined the first few choices? Why not find someone perfect or at least satisfactory? How does Pro know that people have not been satisfied in whom they have had a relationship with so far?There is nothing wrong with physical pleasure as Pro is attempting to assert it seems. I will await him to provide evidence how physical pleasure is wrong. All parties voluntarily engage in the hook-up culture. Therefore it is not unacceptable or undesirable, it is not wrong in the moral concept as my opponent has used it. I listed the definition of wrong below as well.Wrong:" Unacceptable or undesirable according to social convention."[2]http://www.thefreedictionary.com...Also see Point #7 about "right" and "wrong" I wrote in Round 2."Women are still demonized in this 'hookup society', even more so, because they are no longer dreaming about being sexually promiscuous, they are being sexually promiscuous. And people have even more reason to label them such as 'loose' or a 'slut'."No women are not being vilified by society as much at all. That is why it is easy for them to divorce in today's society. It is consider acceptable to be sexually promiscuous. "They stated that there was a more likely chance to marry the 'wrong' person. But this is wrong in itself. The culture of the past included dating and spending time with the person who you liked, 'getting to know them'. So one would rarely marry the wrong person. These days, divorce rates have risen uncontrollably. This is because people rush to marry after experiencing sexual encounters and not truly 'knowing' the other person."I disagree profusely, this is inherently false claim on the part of Pro. It was difficult for women to divorce in the past. So they were stuck with someone whom they might not of liked[3]. Just because one dated them does not mean anything. Human beings behave more honestly when you become more intimate with them. Therefore, once a couple lived together after marriage they would of been more likely to experience their others true personality. It was women who usually found this out more than men. Therefore it was too late and too difficult to separate or divorce from the other person.[3]http://divorcesupport.about.com..."The opposition cannot use the fact that the culture encourages 'exercise' to defend the argument. We obtain exercise in many ways, and going for a fews run has many less negative implications"Pro has attempted to throw out that sex is exercise. It is whether he likes it or not. That is unequivocally a fact that is undeniable."Finally the opposition stated that the hookup culture is chosen by those that chose to engage in it, and therefore, its ok! People chose to murder, and they feel the repercussions (life imprisonment, death penalty maybe), does this mean we should standby and watch these people destroy their life whilst not helping them? We need to urge these people to realise they are making decisions with strong repercussions, negative repercussions, and thus prevent them from doing so in the future."Pro has committed fallacy that is incomparable to anything else so far Pro has offered. Murder is an action where a person normally decides to kill someone else. The hook-up culture is voluntary by all parties. That is why they both assume responsibility for the aftereffects. A victim in a murder does not choose to die in most cases. The two are incomparable. This is a fallacy. Participants in the hook-up culture are not destroying their lives either. That is merely Pro's opinion."Emotional bonding is truly important, something the opposition has tried to disregard in this debate. It is healthy, and helps to develop good relationships between human beings. This is how we remain happy, by establishing and keeping good relationships. People who become friends are not biologically bound in anyway, yet they can enjoy each others company and in turn help each other to enjoy life."Again Pro has offered opinion that has no existence in reality. Emotional bonding only relates to familiarity it doesn't have to with anything more or less. So Pro has admitted he wants people to be bound by intimate relationships. I implied in Round 2 this was deplorable if not hateful. What happens when a relationship in ends? More emotional hardship then one had previous to the relationship of course. Versus the hook-up culture where one is not bound by the problems of someone else. In the hook-up culture people reap the rewards of casual sex while not accepting the responsibilities of the other person. Need I even ask which one is less burdensome? Also what happens when a relationship ends in a horrible way? An argument, the destruction of one's belongings, a physical altercation, a lawsuit, a divorce, and worse yet someone could go to jail. Or the ultimate worse result would be a murder or a suicide. These painful events are likely to happen considering Pro wants intimate relationships. Therefore we should expect the bad things to happen when a relationship ends in a contemptible manner. In the hook-up culture no one would suffer from being bound by the obstreperous or the disorderly. In a world made up of billions of people, we should not be bound by one relationship with one person.
