JF22 - AC - Common Human HeritageTournament: Harvard | Round: 1 | Opponent: Chelmsford RA | Judge: Dhupar, Ashish AC Space Common JusticeFrameworkI affirm the resolution resolved: The appropriation of outer space by private entities it unjust. To provide clarity for the round I offer the following definitions First appropriation: the act of taking or using something especially in a way that is illegal, unfair. Second unjust: absence of justice: violation of right or of the rights of another Rawls's theory of justice revolves around the adaptation of two fundamental principles of justice which would, in turn, guarantee a just and morally acceptable society. The first principle guarantees the right of each person to have the most extensive basic liberty compatible with the liberty of others. The second principle states that social and economic positions are to be (a) to everyone's advantage and (b) open to all. A key problem for Rawls is to show how such principles would be universally adopted, and here the work borders on general ethical issues. He introduces a theoretical "veil of ignorance" in which all the "players" in the social game would be placed in a situation which is called the "original position." Having only a general knowledge about the facts of "life and society," each player is to make a "rationally prudential choice" concerning the kind of social institution they would enter into contract with. By denying the players any specific information about themselves it forces them to adopt a generalized point of view that bears a strong resemblance to the moral point of view. "Moral conclusions can be reached without abandoning the prudential standpoint and positing a moral outlook merely by pursuing one's own prudential reasoning under certain procedural bargaining and knowledge constraints."Thus leading to my value criterion to protect the common good, as all humans are due common human heritage. Including outer-space. Contention 1: Common Human HeritageSpace is best regulated through a global commonsSaletta, Morgan Sterling, and Kevin Orrman-Rossiter. "Can space mining benefit all of humanity?: The resource fund and citizen's dividend model of Alaska, the ‘last frontier’." Space Policy 43 (2018): 1-6. Morgan Rossiter 18(2)Some studies have optimistically suggested that profit making AND titudes to real and concrete benefits for all of humanity. Common human heritage betters mankind through unified ownership ,Buxton states:Carol R. Buxton, Property in Outer Space: The Common Heritage of Mankind Principle vs. the First in Time, First in Right, Rule of Property, 69 J. Air L. and Com. 689 (2004) https://scholar.smu.edu/jalc/vol69/iss4/3 AND funded the effort (either economically or by developing the technology or both)." The Alaska Permanent fund is a provides an exemplary example of how to implement justice through appropriation of the common good. Saletta, Morgan Sterling, and Kevin Orrman-Rossiter. "Can space mining benefit all of humanity?: The resource fund and citizen's dividend model of Alaska, the ‘last frontier’." Space Policy 43 (2018): 1-6. AND and exploitation that encourages entrepreneurial ventures while tangibly and truly benefiting all of humanity Contention 2: The Damages Associated with Private AppropriationPrivate space appropriation leads to a massive increase in space junk, Holden 18John Holden, July 12, 2018, The Irish Times, Why space capitalism will eat itself, https://www.irishtimes.com/business/innovation/why-space-capitalism-will-eat-itself-1.3556368 AND the commerce department, and not the FAA, begins to make sense. This increase of space debris is known as the Kessler Effect which cascades to means of nuclear war .Les Johnson 13, Deputy Manager for NASA's Advanced Concepts Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Co-Investigator for the JAXA T-Rex Space Tether Experiment and PI of NASA's ProSEDS Experiment, Master's Degree in Physics from Vanderbilt University, Popular Science Writer, and NASA Technologist, Frequent Contributor to the Journal of the British Interplanetary Sodety and Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Space Society, the World Future Society, and MENSA, Sky Alert!: When Satellites Fail, p. 9-12 ~language modified~ AND , our military advantage over potential adversaries would be dramatically reduced or eliminated. On the odds that space debris does not lead to nuclear war, the act of private appropriation of space causes conflict between countries and puts our already established allies at risk.Finkelstein and Nevitt 18 AND war in outer space is unthinkable, and we cannot let it occur. | 2/18/22 |
