I agree with the motion “This house believes that extreme views should be given a public platform”. I think that everyone should be entitled to speak aloud their views and opinions. If not then what people would like to say aloud becomes bottled up inside of them. Until all of the anger of not being able to express themselves suddenly explodes. Do you really think that big abolishments such slavery could have occurred if people were not later given public platforms? peoples thoughts are something that they personally think and believe in and once telling and also restricting boundaries of what they think is right they feel as if being pressurized to think certain things and ways, to suppress and please others on what they view. These are a few of the reasons why I strongly agree with the motion.

This house believes that young people should be allowed to vote at 16,five reasons why I disagree with the statement:

the children are being put under pressure whilst going through their GCSE’s .At their age they are still to easily influenced and are lead the same way as their parents.Its a slippery slope but its like changing the age of being classed as an adult from 18 to 16 it would practically be going against what the politicians stand for as they feel our GCSE’s are important. but now actually want us to focus on a vote for their own sake instead of ours.

On the other hand at the age of 16 you are legally allowed to have sexual intercourse which in some cases means that whilst a teenager you will also be a parent if teens are able to look after and take care of an actual baby surely it’s enough proof of them being responsible and able at that age to make important decisions.

I disagree with the statement “This house believes that space exploration is a waste of time and money”.World wide there are people suffering due to a lack of money which is the basis of buying materials and a daily meal etc. which may not be easy to change as it happens throughout the world however it can change slowly step by step.also advancements in the national health service and hospital research requires a large amount of money which could easily be funded from a single piece of say a space suit or rocket…machines that could be spent saving billions of lives for people who fight against such common diseases like cancer which has been killing many of people which like the lack of money will happen slowly over a period of time.time is also of the essence as producing something the size of multiple buses takes possibly years .
