LD
Rounds judged: 4
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I believe strong framework, establishment of value-criteria relationship, and well-constructed arguments grounded in research are the keys to a good affirmative. I believe direct clash and establishment of substantial harms are keys to a negative case. Individuals should communicate effectively and respect their opponents.
