The United States Federal Government should help to modernize third-world countries.

Round 5: (Pro) girr_29 (Con) Astrosfan Topic 14: The United States Federal Government should help to modernize third-world countries. I look forward to what should be a very fun round, and I would like to thank the judges before hand for taking their time to read through the debate. I know that time available to do these things can be very short sometimes, so I appreciate your time that you will put into reading this. Since my cases are mostly based on the resolutional wording, my main 3 contentions will be based off the wording of the resolution. I) Definitions of key terms. II) The importance of the word SHOULD. III) Why the government should help modernize third-world countries. So let's start with the first contention then..... I: Definitons of key terms A) should - ought to. (This word means that if there is something that ought to be done, it should be done. I wil further explain this word in the second contention.) B) help - to make easier or less dificult, or to contribute to (So what the pro side of the resolution tries to prove is that the United States Federal Government should make things easier or less difficult for a third-world country. Which I believe is what should happen, and I will explain that further as well.) C) modernize - to make modern, or to adopt modern ways. (So by helping modernizing third-world countries essentially what we're doing is improving the country by giving them things that will help them be more like a modern country.) D) third-world - deprived nations of the world. (Becaue third-world means deprived, we should try to help them become less deprived by making them modernized.) All of these definitions are from the Funk and Wagnalls dictionary and they should provide good backing for the rest of the round and why you as a judge should vote for me. II: The importance of the word SHOULD. Should...as I discussed before implies that we ought to do this. And since this is a should resolution I don't have to prove the money issues that are involved in trying to help out third-world countries, because that's not the point of the word should or the point of a should resolution. Since it is a should resolution, our collective eyes must view it through a lense that lets us interpt what should be done, and what I believe should be done is that we should or ought to help modernize third-world countries. III: Why the government should help modernize third-world countries. Alright so this is where you as a judge have to vote for pro. Because this is the reasoning as to why the United States Federal Government should help modernize third-world countries. Since the United States is such an advanced industrial society, and because we claim that we want to help out third-world countries, then we should help modernize them. The reason to help modernize them is quite simple, because it is the essential right thing to do, that fact can not be denied, so that makes it the essential thing the United States Federal Government should do and the thing the United States Federal Government ought to do. If my opponent trys to bring up cost issues, they are unresolutonal and they must be thrown out as arguments to be wayed in this round. I will go more in-depth in my next round, but it appears I am running short on time. I want to once again thank the judges for their time, the opponent for what will hopefully be a clean, fun debate. Thanks for reading thus far!
