Single sex: designated for, pertaining to, or serving only males or only females.
No transgender arguments allowed. This considers biological sex and not gender.
Burden of proof is shared.
Pro will argue that we should not support the idea of single sex education in the US, as the detriments outweigh the positives. Con argues that we SHOULD support single sex education because positives outweigh negatives.
One basis of Fredrich Nietzsche is The concept of the herd mentality.In which the majority of thinking and behavior can be put into a box. But there is also the rare few that think outside the box. This is where mans next best steps have great potential. Do too years of oppression too great thinkers. Which had consequences like the death penalty {including torture}. It would be naïve too think there has been many comprehensive minds that did not care too share the lime light. As well as wars, famine, disease ect.. Now a great mind has the potential too move man big leaps into the furthering the benefits of man kind. So in truth there really hasn't been much of a platoe for individuals to flourish with this different type of thinking. They tend too leave great imprints on how society see's the world.
This becomes very problematic for the argument, That having both sexes put together in a class room would be beneficial. We have already seen and are able too study examples of why this hinders our society. for example the market for useless spending on items we don't need. Mixing sexes in schools create voids and too early in life with all the exploratory idea's I explained before. This drives away some of our great thinkers into addictions, suicide, anti socialisms ect ect...In our day and age it is easy too see how it isn't the mixing of the sexes in the classroom more so how the system is put in place. Instinct is relative enough too have things like procreation, relationships, interest's and hobbies. Having differences even if small between men and women cause limitations on idea's this way and cause a lot of conflict for example if men are slightly more competitive. They will push each other too have a better understanding of an idea. As for women if they tend to nurture more often there idea's then there growth becomes more balanced and steady.So this more comes down too the argument what creates more benefit us creating better systems for the next generation too come. or is it for the individual of today. Instinctually we want too survive as a species. So any benefit we can grasp today perpetuates and multiplies. From generation too generation. But if we way too the comfort of the common thinking today. We slow down that process and just enhance a generation or too. Which by far is in no comparison too a continuum that's generational.
This also needs too factor in how this effects the world today with endless spending on things you don't need. as well as not having moderation as we see this generation spending a lot of time playing video games and other antisocial practices.So having mixed schools you see today pornography in video games, gambling, drugs. AS well as on regular tv. The comfort of the sexes has created this trivial effect on the population. for example you can see it on the ratings of Acceptability on basic tv. When I was young using the word ass was rare and a tv show would never go beyond that where things like murder mayhem are now almost expected. In part of the eastern world you can see examples where there is boys and and girls in separate schools not following the same suite. Nick naming the western world more as a playboy culture. Maintaining growth in population continues this problem.We see that in places like japan and china. Where a male child can be preferred. This has caused a spike in homosexuality due too lack of women studies have shown. This is all chaos created by benefitting the herd mentality of a social construct. Idealized on what's best for the individual not the next generations. In the western world you see more and more extremisms as well in views, behaviors, ect... Coming from a generation freely put into class rooms of both sections. None of which can't be related too a mixed school system. Even if we gave major support too the children of both sexes. This would still continue because of human natures. One could also contend how its killing the planet. We are hunter gathers by nature and to fully go too just relying on consciousness is too one dimentaul.We have learned more then enough of what happens when we mix sexes in the class room . But we have not entertained the practice of allowing the individual too flourish in there strength. In an environment with less distractions. This is why in high school they give you a list of 10 000 job opportunities and say pick 1. What a way to confuse a child. But doesn't matter the system isn't meant for the individual strengths. Its meant too dabble across all different learnings.They say this is the age of the group. As they are in business and government. We can continue educating the next generation like this and watch things continue too get out of hand. Or we slow down things like population growth, addiction, suicide by taking away one of the biggest contributors. That is mixing the sexes in the class room. the hurd is plenty. The free thinker is not.
Not too much to say here. Pro's side of the debate includes a referenced argument that largely functions as pre-rebuttal for the potential educational benefits of same sex schools and a referenced point about the social benefits of co-education. Con's responses introduce a number of potential problems, but he provides no evidence to support their actuality, which means they exist largely as theory. In fact, of the 7 points Con iterates in his final round, the first 5 all have impacts that are directly contradicted by Pro's R1 argument, and the remaining two, while suggesting important benefits to security and well-being that go beyond education, lack the support to be meaningfully compared (either by degree of impact or by likelihood of occurrence) with Pro's arguments.
Sources go to Pro because he's the only one who provided them. No matter how Con tries to construe those sources by arguing that everything is individualized, he never provides a meaningful rebuttal to Pro's sources, which makes his responses only vague allusions to possible problems.
S&G also goes to Pro. I rarely award this point, but I had to read back through sentences many times in each round to understand what Con meant. It's worth doing some proofreading after you write this up, otherwise you can confuse your voters.
I'll try to get to it.
care for a quick glance?
bump?
up for some feedback? Con's case was nearly unparsable to me, perhaps you'd do better.
Thank you for your patients in this debate. I have to start somewhere. I will have too work on my fat finger syndrome 8). We should have another debate down the road. I think It would be more entertaining for both of us. once I get a healthy idea of the format. I am Going too have too figure out how to link Things in my debates. So I am not going by my knowledge in subjects. That should up my game a bit and give it some challenge too it. I keep wanting too put ways too improve the school system instead of just debating the topic. A lot is because I am trying to get familure too what Is happening then what I should being what next in the debate.
Ok thank you for the insight. I never expected too do well on my first debate. But I should of read through more of them to be more prepared.
As the Contender it is your responsibility to interpret the resolution and fulfill the burden necessarily assigned
I was hoping too get into this debate. I haven't got into any of the good stuff yet like how this effect a persons neuroplasticity or at a cellular level yet. How it can define someone getting pregnant and the issue's that creates like abortions'. How The biology in area's of of sexual conduct are strong on youth and what impact that can have on an individual. How its inappropriate to infiltrate someone's personal consciousness in Delegating someone. All the ditty wah ditty behind some of these statistical arguments for coed. This can be a fun debate. does anyone know a busy debate sight where I might find more consistent debating?
Mediator {undefeatable} I need a bit more elaboration on what you are wanting. Are we just covering too a certain grade. Where is your line cross on say when it becomes a private matter in education? example a university student no longer is in general guided schooling and has now made a choice to become something. This can really change the dynamic of the debate. For one is pre structured and the other is built as you go and becomes more of an individuals choice.
I'm using spell check but yea I said the grammar would be my issue. This is my first online debate So i'm trying to grasp the concept of it. Weather people do point form or use facts or use examples ect.. I see you like too use statistics? statistics are so limited for a debate because there just a by product of understanding. Or is this common amongst most debates on here. ?
Just continue all add a twist countering my opening its no biggy. As long as you don't feel like i'm trying to steel your thunder for that is not my intent
I'm not the instigator, you'll have to ask him.
mek I think i was suppose too appose the the argument. Which I can due as well but would have too scratch the first round sorry first attempt at a debate format. I can just continue from the second round.. up too you.
The only person/people that can benefit from your argument is the very few who live life never having a job and or social construct. If you lay out your argument we can get started 8)
I am gifted with free thinking and a curious mind pick any topic doesn't matter too me. My grammar and spelling will probably the only place I fail. But it says on my end waiting for you too respond first. I wish you good luck and understanding.
Welcome to the site! Though... unless you’re dedicated you probably chose the wrong opponent lol
I see no significant expert research that differentiates all boys from all girls. You are free to tell voters that arbitrarily discouraging female sex schools, while only male schools are a problem, creates an absurd inequality that cannot be sustained. If you can win "female schooling should be encouraged [pro]", you can win this debate as well.
Do you mean both female and male schools or just encouraging female schools is enough?
All-male environments, especially when it comes to teens and young adults, are highly toxic. Testosterone makes them cruel to each other and dog-eat-dog. Females are very necessary to act as neutralising agents. It is not that the average male is superbly more toxic than the average female, it's more that the general average snowballs towards aggression and competitiveness with no mercy on anyone.
All-female schools are actually beneficial to females and often the bullying is done to a lesser extent than is seen in mixed schools where females are picking on each other.
So, for females the answer is probably not but it's been proven that in ALL cultures, all-male schools emotionally scar and brutally 'toughen up' the males involved and they often have PTSD symptoms deep into adulthood, guys need females to soothe the environment and distract the testosterone fuelled jocks.
