COVID ACTournament: JW Patterson HS Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: Broken Arrow CF | Judge: Shawn Rafferty I affirm the resolution:Resolved: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines.Util FrameworkI value morality, because the verb "ought" implies a moral obligation.My criterion is utilitarianism.Only utilitarianism can legitimately justify policies to the public, since they inevitably entail trade-offs. Though perhaps appropriate for individuals, rule-based moral codes create irresolvable bureaucracy when applied to governments.Gary Woller ~BYU Prof., "An Overview by Gary Woller", A Forum on the Role of Environmental Ethics, June 1997, pg. 10~ Prefer utilitarianism for two additional reasons.First, the government derives its legitimacy from a social contract, in which individuals give up freedom in exchange for protection from harm. Therefore, a government that doesn't look after its citizens' well-being would be illegitimate.Second, death is the greatest denial of freedom since it destroys all possibilities and life projects – this means that life is the greatest impact under utilitarianism and relevant under any other ethical framework.Bauman 95 ~Zygmunt Bauman (University of Leeds Professor Emeritus of Sociology).

DG AffTournament: JW Patterson HS Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Coppell RM | Judge: Amanda Nobra I affirm the resolution:Resolved: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines.Deleuze FrameworkWe are dynamic – overtime, affective encounters with our surroundings through the subject's constitutive instability and time shape subjectivity – our model resists the imposition of sameness onto a chaotic world. Thinking only affects a subject as a being in time and so is not a transcendent feature.Deleuze 68 – Deleuze, Gilles. Difference and Repitition. Translated by Paul Patton. 1968 Our instability necessitates power structures of rhizomatic becoming that embrace difference. Dominant economic models repress creative desires and over-code social life – fields that are not intelligible within straited space are excluded as deviant.Rowe 13 – Rowe, J. E. (2013). Understanding economic development as a Deleuzian "plateau." Local Economy, 28(1), 99–113. doi:10.1177/0269094212465580, Agastya The politics of stable subjectivity coopts all attempts at resistance – it stabilizes complex features into unchanging models which dooms all radical praxis to failure.Rolli – Rolli, Marc. "Immanence and Transcendence" Bulletin de la Sociite Amincaine de Philosophie de Langue Franfais Volume 14, Number 2, Fall 2004 Thus, the standard and ROB is embracing the politics of active desire. That's key to education – majoritarian stabilized schooling wrecks thought and is unethical.Carlin and Wallin 14 ~Carlin, Matthew. Wallin, Jason. "Deleuze and Guattari, Politics and Education." Bloomsbury. 2014. Pg. 119-121~ MK Prefer the standard additionally—only affect can bridge the gap between discursive regimes and the material world – it's cruelly optimistic to force chaotic identity into stable structures.Schafer 13 – Schaefer '13. Schaefer, D. "The Promise of Affect: The Politics of the Event in Ahmed's The Promise of Happiness and Berlant's Cruel Optimism." Theory and Event 16.2 2013. Project MUSE Static rules fail since each agent formulates their own interpretation in moments of crisis – we must orient agency towards chaos to break free from indeterminate principles.Smith – Nathan Jun and Daniel W. Smith. "Deleuze and Ethics."
