Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree with you because even if the museums are not being kept safe than they can be provided with better security which will also waste a lot of money, but make alot more.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

That's not the point. The money is not what there main worry is. where will they get better security and money when they are in poverty. Don't take anything else away from them.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

But even tho there safer there, the artifacts are still theirs.so i think you should give back what belongs to them.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Not necessarily because there are some parts of Africa that are not in a war. Also its plain as can be that they belong to African people for holy reasons most importantly
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I can agree with you because you are stating a fact about there poverty and how there is not lots of things there
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I disagree because wars might be happening in Europe and the artifacts could be destroyed and they were not gonna be safe with the European.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because they were originally Africa's artifacts and the artifacts could go to areas that don't experience war.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Europe is generally richer than Africa, with a GDP per capita of 38,500 USD. Africa's is estimated to be less than 1,500 USD. So, because Europe has more money, they will have a better means of security.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree with you because there could be wars in Europe and it might be easier for people there to steal.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think England should keep the artifacts because they are safer there than in Africa also invaders may come and steel all these artifacts. Maybe England would give half percent to Africa and then both country’s are making money.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Even though the Africans are in poverty and need money, the Europeans still own the artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Well Norah, even though there could be invaders, there could also be people stealing the artifacts from Europe. Also even though there is pretty great security, It could be stolen and there are riots going on in Europe recently, so the Africans should still keep their artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

If you think about it In Africa you could just walk in and take it if you where saying people could steal it from England.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

True. There could also be people who steal and vandalize things in Europe not just Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

what if someone from Europe steal it then what are you going to do
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree with that,i know that there are some bad and good people in Europe and Africa
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I disagree because at the time of the war with Europe, the africans weren't as powerful and strong as the them, so once the Europeans attacked, the africans were weakened and the europeans were able to take whatever they wanted.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Good point, I can see how you would support the fact that the Europeans deserve the right to have the artifacts as a reward to their conquering. But I still believe they should be returned to Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think they belong in Africa because they were originally found in Africa and those artifacts could show their culture and heritage.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree with you because evan know it might be safer it is still their stuff and things they had and they took it away from them and their gold and salt and other recores
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Power and wealth does not determine who will keep the artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

On the other hand i think that Europe should keep the artifacts only because of how high there security and money is.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

The security is not the point that we are focusing on. Those artifacts belonged to Africa. Europ would hate it if we stole there artifacts that made them unique.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

The Artifacts are probably safer here because there is no wars going on in Europe.Also,the artifacts are under stronger protection because Europe is wealthier than Africa and can afford it.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because it might of been safer but they also took their land so if they thought it would be safer their why did they want their land also they did not just take their Artifacts they took every thing else also the people who stayed their and turn them to slaves so i disagree.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree with you because Europe just has the artifacts to make money off of that and there might not be wars but there are threats and if war world 3 starts the artifacts may get damaged because wars mainly start in Europe because the 2 world wars started in Europe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

It does help that Europe is not in war. But Europe is very wealthy like you said and can afford to send security down and help protect the artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Wealth and security is not the point of argument. it does not matter if you have a high amount of money
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Europe makes money off of the artifacts and getting money off of that, and if Africa tell had those artifacts wouldn't be in the place Africa is in right now.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

the only reason the European should have ancient African artifacts is because they can protect there artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree that the Europeans should just protect in the museum and show to the tourist but I also think that if they charge people to see them to money should be donated to Africa as a way to say we are sorry for what are ancestors did.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

the people in europe should keep the artifacts but give africa a percent of the money back that they make.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think that is a good idea if they where to give some money to Africa and then keep it in a safer place.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree. I still think they should get most of the artifacts back.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree because, that was Africa is still getting money, but Europe is keeping the Artifacts safe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because the Europeans took all their salt and gold and took them to be slaves so their land had no money so i disagree.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

Sure why not. It'll be something to remember the experience by. Just make sure to give the bigger trophies to the winning teams...they've earned it.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

How is giving a trophy to every kid a life lesson in that no matter what they do, they should win. Everybody fails at some time, so why reward failure.Sure big trophies go to winners, and a good try to the losers.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

Why make everything a life lesson. Sports are supposed to be fun. In addition, I challenge you to show me a single kid that plays for the trophy. People play either because they want to win or because its fun. Trophies are irrelevant and it doesn't hurt to give the kid something to remember the season by.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Why make everything a life lesson. Why not?Sports are supposed to be fun. It ought be fun whether or not a trophy is won.In addition, I challenge you to show me a single kid that plays for the trophy.If they don't play for the trophy, then it ought not matter whether or not they actually get it.People play either because they want to win or because its fun.A trophy is a symbol of success - of winning; if everybody got a trophy, then it loses it's value.Trophies are irrelevant and it doesn't hurt to give the kid something to remember the season by.What about the children who actually won? The trophy is there to symbolize success; it does not have the same symbolic meaning to the winner if the loser collects one as well.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

If sports are supposed to be fun and just a game, then why bother?The spirit of sports is be competitive and win.I challenge you to show me a single kid that plays for the trophy.In interviews, Tiger Woods always touted how when he was young and even now, all that he wanted was to win and get trophies.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

If sports are supposed to be fun and just a game, then why bother?Why bother playing, or why bother giving them a trophy at all?The spirit of sports is be competitive and win.Depends on the sport, depends on the players. I know I had a ton of fun playing some sports this past year at my college with my friends in which we lost because we got a little tipsy before the game and just messed around. I also remember trying to win in high-school and it was a lot of fun winning. Tiger Woods always touted how when he was young and even now, all that he wanted was to win and get trophies.Win is the key word there, not trophies. He is a very competitive person, and I'm pretty sure if the loser got a trophy too it wouldn't affect him wanting to win. In fact, trophy in this case is merely a euphemism for winning. I think it's also fair to say that most kids probably don't take sports quite as seriously as future professional athletes...at least not the little kids who are getting participation trophies.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Why bother playing? Besides exercise and fun.Well, maybe you lost because you weren't dedicated enough. Don't KnowTiger Woods wins due to the pursuit of many trophies, and if the loser got a trophy, don't know. Why because nobody cares.That is why is after Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major tournament wins.I think it's also fair to say that most kids probably don't take sports quite as seriously as future professional athletes...at least not the little kids who are getting participation trophies.If not serious, why give out participation trophies, junk that will eventually be thrown away later in life because it is meaningless.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

You just asked why one should bother doing something that is both healthy and fun....seriously? You need another reason?Your right, I wasn't dedicated to the intramural indoor soccer team I was on...yet somehow I was still pretty happy I'd participated. When I wrestled or played soccer in high school I did try hard, and yet still lost about half the time, but even when I lost I still definitely got something out of the experience. Have you even ever played a sport? Sorry for questioning you, but you seem to not understand how much fun just playing can be. That's why they call it playing.Tiger Woods wants to win for the sake of winning, and the prestige that comes with it. Not some piece of medal. I mean he's rich, I'm pretty sure he could buy a trophy.If not serious, why give out participation trophies, junk that will eventually be thrown away later in life because it is meaningless.Or remembered as a symbol of the fun childhood times had with friends on the sports field. I still have all my trophies.You're too tied up with the liberal vs. conservative mindset. It's sorta ridiculous.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?

I have a extreme passion for golf.I mean he's rich, I'm pretty sure he could buy a trophy.A trophy without a win is meaningless.remembered as a symbol of the fun childhood times had with friends on the sports field. I still have all my trophies.Or just use your memory as a symbol for fun childhood times.I am not tied up with liberal vs conservative mindset.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

I have a extreme passion for golf.Maybe I could get some lessons, haha (I try and play golf with my friends...it is not a pretty sight, but I still usually have fun).A trophy without a win is meaningless.That's my point. We each assign our own meaning to objects like trophies. A trophy for a winner could mean a lot to them, while a participant trophy to a player whose team didn't win might be a tangible symbol of his childhood. Or someone might not like the whole idea of physical representations and, like you, be fine with the memory so he'll throw out the piece of plastic. My point is, you are making too big a deal about these trophies. You want to take away something from little kids to "teach them a lesson". It's a dumb premise.I am not tied up with liberal vs conservative mindset.So you claim.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

Just playing sports in general is of course fun and just a game, but when in competition, it isn't just a game and for fun, it is to see who is the best give credit to those with a trophy and second and nothing just for participating.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Many kids play for the trophy. My sister and I had a bet going to see who could get the most trophies when we were growing up.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Haha, fair enough. I can't say what you and your sister did, but were you playing for the trophies or was it just a side bet?I'm guessing kids like getting trophies, but I don't think they'd play a sport for 2 months just to get the trophy...at least the kids I know play because it's fun. Why do you think people just toss around footballs on the beach? Or play pickup basketball games? No trophies there.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

I'll name a kid that played for the trophy. ME. Yes you play because you like or love the game and have fun doing it, but whats the point in trying to win if you get the same reward if you lose. Its also unfair to the kids that worker their asses off to win when you give the kids that don't even try the same prize.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

If the trophy is so irrelevant; why do you insist that everyone receives one? A trophy is something that should be earned. If they are playing just for fun, as you suggest, then they will have no problem not getting a trophy if they loose.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

WINNING is FUN and to win you need life lessons. Also giving it out to 4 year olds I get it, but they give out these trophies willy nilly.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

When I grow up I like to remember me actually getting something that I deserve. What would the trophy say? Good game, you received this trophy for losing? Just like on the other side, I said that I don't receive a bonus for my coworkers idea, even if his/her bonus is bigger. We need to teach the kids something about the real life.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

The trophy would say what all those trophies say: participant, or something along those lines. I don't know about you, but I enjoyed sports as a kid even when I lost. Obviously winning is great but so is playing the game usually.This is what I find most confusing about arguments like yours. You seem intent to try and force lessons out of something that should just be fun. Winning is its own reward, and if the coach of the losing team wants to buy plastic 5 dollar shiny trophies so that the kids can remember little league baseball or youth soccer when they're a lot older, then let them. Stop trying to make sports more than they are...it's just a game.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Why can't it just be a game then? No trophies at all. I'm just trying to show the kids that you can't always get something for losing. I can understand the kids receiving trophies at the end of the season that shows their participation on the team, but not for every game.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

Show me a little league team that gets a trophy every game. Usually its just at the end of the season.Also in response to your job bonus metaphor: you still get paid even if your coworker does better than you, right? It's not as good as a bonus but you get something for the work you did?Anyway, those kids who are competitive will want to win for the sake of winning anyway and those that are lazy won't change how they act just for a little piece of plastic. The whole concept of this debate is a little ridiculous in my opinion.

Show me a little league team that gets a trophy every game. Usually its just at the end of the season.Okay. You got me there.Anyway, those kids who are competitive will want to win for the sake of winning anyway and those that are lazy won't change how they act just for a little piece of plastic.Why do you think that the kids should have a trophy if it's just a game?
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

Why do you think that the kids should have a trophy if it's just a game?I don't really think it matters one way or another. If you choose to not give them a trophy but instead have an end of the year pizza party, or a team picture that would probably work just as well. I just don't think the coach should say: "well you guys didn't do well this season....better luck next year." They're kids for God's sake. Let them have fun. The creator of the debate just wants to politicize an activity that should just be an enjoyable way to exercise

This is for the other side saying that kids don't want a trophy acting like a person saying good game, you received this trophy for losing.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

I think most people know what participation trophies usuallylook like. They are tiny, with no column holding up the little figure on it. I cant see how most could even momentarily fool anyone into thinking they were winning trophies,so I don't get what all the fuss is about. I also can't see how a kid who really wants a winning trophy and doesn't get it would feel any better by getting a participation one because of that, so, I guess my feelings on this subject are well, have them or don't have them, it shouldn't make a difference either way because all a participation trophy really is is a glorified souvenir.there may be a few exceptions to this of course, I'm just writing "in general" from what I've seen.

Good day Have worked how many trophies you recieve over a period of time and just end up as rubbish dust collectors and a waste of money for the club which could be used for other things and they end up in the bin
