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, 'The hook-up culture is a culture that encourages people to have as much sexual pleasure as they desire. Is this not what human beings should want?' Simply, ndo, not when we probe deeper and consider the detrimental effects on the students that this culture is effecting. 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. I talked about this is my opening arguments. This is not to mention the physical implications which could arise (contraction of STD's, unwanted pregnancy) from this casual, sexual culture. Secondly, the opposition briefly talked about how the hook-up culture encourages people to find the best lover available. But this is where the opposition has misunderstood the essence of the hook-up culture. 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. The opposition went on to talk about the demonization of women in the hook-up culture. This is an instance where the opposition has become. 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'. Next, i would like to rebut the oppositions fifth argument simply states that the 'hookup culture is better than the previous sexual culture'. 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. 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. 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 than having constant 'one night stands'. I have already spoke about these detrimental impacts in depth, and will not explain again for the readers discretion. But we can exercise many ways without having sex 14 times a week, and being heavily effected. 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.
