<p>Be it resolved: An individual’s obligation to society outgh to oughtweight society’s obligation to the individual.</p>
<p>This is a topic that i have debated but have a hard time finding values to uphold the negative and affirmative. And just preparing cases as a whole.,</p>
<p>If anyone could help me, it would be truly appreciate it. Thanks</p>
<p>So the first aff value that comes to mind is a just society with a principled value criterion that rights come with corresponding responsibilities. A long discussion here – Amitai Etzioni and Mary Ann Glendon will work nicely – about the basic principles of rights theory will go a long way.</p>
<p>The most intuitive negative value is a just society with a principled value criterion that individuals are not a means to an end – use some Kantian analysis here about human dignity and upholding personal sovereignty.</p>
<p>All in all, I think clearly an aff-biased topic. But I’m often surprised.</p>
<p>this is a really bad question. i know i would be cringing in the crowd if i saw anyone actually try to answer this.</p>
<p>That is a laughably bad LD question.</p>
