The debate topic is: Does tv do more harm than good?
I am on the affirmative side, so we have to agree that it does more harm than good.
Here is ours so far: (we know that their first argument is that tv gives good education)
OUR 1ST SPEAKER:
Our _____ of our debate topic is that television does more harm than good. I will be speaking about the health and physical side of the harm of television. Meg will be speaking about the emotional and mental harm of television, and Brody will be summarizing our arguments.
When people, especially children, watch television too much, that can cause them to become obese.
To children, TV is an excuse to be lazy. More and more kids are watching TV all the time, therefore becoming less active and fit.
THEIR FIRST SPEAKER (they will talk about who wants tobe a millionare, new, are you smarter than a 5th grader, etc)
OUR SECOND SPEAKER:
I am the second speaker for the affirmative team.
It is true that children learn from the television, but isn’t that a bad thing that children are learning from television, and not from social things, such as school and their parents?
Most of the questions on those shows are irrelevant to a child’s knowledge, and are beyond children’s learning ability.
As for the informative side of it, such as Today Tonight and the News, what do you think the newspaper and radio are for?
Mr argument is the emotional and mental harm of television.
When children watch TV, they are subjected to violence, coarse language, adult themes and more.
Parents don’t approve of these things. According to Allpsych online, over sixty percent of television shows contain some form of violence, and from watching things like violence on TV, children and teenagers can copy the television and in some cases, become more violent.
THEIR SECOND SPEAKER: (will probably talk about entertainment)
Our rebbutle point for entertainment is that you can go outside and play sport, or read, or play a borad game or something, instead of watching tv
We havent worked out exactly the last speaker, but please give feedback?!?
