The opposing side two questions

The two sides of the inquiry

After nearly a month of fierce competition in the preliminary, semi-final and semi-final, Senior class 2012 and Senior class 2013 stood out from the 16 participating classes in the whole grade and successfully advanced to the final。The question of this competition is "Should tourist zoos be cancelled?"。The topic of the debate is novel and close to the public life, and has high debate value。After full preparation, the two sides fought and argued on the field, pushing the atmosphere of the game to a climax again and again, and brought a very wonderful debate to everyone。

Preliminary contestant style

The style of the rematch players

Class 2013 of Zhengfang High School grasped the key point of "animals in sightseeing zoos do not have freedom", and expounded their views "sightseeing zoos should be canceled and animals should be moved into nature reserves" in vivid and witty language, which won unanimous praise from the judges and students on the court。Zhao Sui also pointed out the key argument that "sightseeing zoos also cost financial and material resources to operate", which successfully created the first confrontation between the two sides in this game, which especially won the praise of Zhou Xintong alumni。插图

The teachers make wonderful comments

The opposition Gao 2012 class is not willing to be outdone, with the current status of the world's natural environment as a strong support, proving that the wild is no longer suitable for the survival of wild animals, and then discusses the necessity and rationality of the existence of sightseeing zoos。At the same time, they also pointed out the popularization and educational significance of sightseeing zoos for the whole society。The opposing side also refuted the views of the positive side on animal freedom one by one, revealing the reality that it is difficult for animals to survive in the wild, and there are many reflections on the relationship between human beings and nature, which are profound and alarming。

In the end, the 2013 class of the square high school relied on 201.With a narrow margin of 5 to 201 points, he won the crown of the champion of the current Mingzhe debate competition。The second opponent, Wu Qing, was awarded the "Best debater" for her clear logic and outstanding performance.。

At this point, the high-level 20 bright philosophical debate competition came to a successful end。From the preliminary to the final of more than 10 competitions, got the full support of many teachers, they used the lunch break as the judges of the competition and gave wonderful comments to the contestants。The players on the field have created countless wonderful moments, and every audience under the field must also have their own harvest。The word "bright philosophy" comes from the Book of songs, the original meaning is insight into things。Since ancient times, people have been constantly identifying the truth of things in the debate, and the truth has been recognized by people again and again in the debate。I hope that students can carry forward the spirit of "bright philosophy" in the future study and life, with a dialectical perspective of insight into the world around them, so that their thoughts in the collision burst out a different kind of spark, in the exchange of timeless, continue to enjoy the endless fun brought by debate!
