USC Protection Over Preparation Discussion
Respond to this post. (100 words)1. According to Sternheimer, what are some of the ways broader society tends to construct idealized, uniform, and nostalgic views of “childhood”? Do you believe that there has been a trend towards protection over preparation? How have your own childhood experiences reflected (or disputed) these ideas?.According to Sternheimer, some of ways broader society tends to construct idealized, uniform, and nostalgic views of childhood include defining childhood and children or youth as a singular group and basing them on certain stereotypes and characteristics that are inaccurate. As provided in the book, many common descriptors range from pure and innocent to mischievous, and any deviation from that means that a child is trouble. Another way is by painting an ideal childhood based on a suburban white, middle-class family standards, ignoring the differences in race or ethnicity and the differences among socioeconomic status. Not only that, but the idealization does not account for personal circumstances that may be happening in the home and family dynamics of a child. Lastly, our society is very insistent in creating a division between adults and children or youth. In reality, children and adults share experiences and, in most cases, their experiences are interrelated (i.e. parent-child). I do not believe there has been a trend towards protection over preparation, and I think it is the opposite. My opinion is based on the observation that there are many available resources such as educational services to prepare and bring awareness to the many issues currently faced by children and youth. At the same time, many parents are more open and more willing to initiate the discourse with their children or relinquish part of the responsibility, such as to public schools as with sex health education. My own childhood experiences reflect preparation over protection because my parents raised me and my siblings to seek out knowledge and truth and face the challenges of society since it will do no good to be ignorant and culture-shocked when the time comes. This includes being prepared more so than turning our backs to the current events and circumstances. 3. According to Sternheimer, what media and public fears seem to permeate discussions over children and technology? What evidence exists that cyberbullying is related to suicide rates in teens, or that internet predators represent a major threat to kids? Are there more direct threats in kids’ lives that tend to get ignored in these discussions? If so, why do you think that this might be the case?According to Sternheimer, some media and public fears that seem to permeate discussions over children and technology are cyberbullying and its relationship with children or teens sucide rates and cyber predators that threatens the safety and well-being of children and teens. Another problem that comes into light is how the Internet itself negatively impacts the health and relationships of users. With the popularity of the internet comes the internet addiction and its contributions to the decline in face-to-face interaction and communication skills. There is no strong evidence presented that cyberbullying is related to sucide rates in teens besides the story of Tyler Clementi presented in the book and the other teens mentioned such Megan, Amanda, Phoebe and Jamey who share a similar story. There are data that shows cyberbullying exists and its higher prevalence in the LGBTQ community. However, data on the occurrences of cyberbullying varies with the changing definitions of cyberbullying and its link to sucide is not clearly established. As stated in the 2010 study, it is unlikely that experience with cyberbullying by itself leads to youth suicide The same goes for internet predators. There is no clear data present other than the news stories. The more direct threats in kids lives are the adults close to them since data shows that perpetrators are more likely to be the parents or someone the child knows. Another more direct threat that seems to get ignored in these discussions is the lack of access to mental health services and support for those suffering. These are ignored because it seems preposterous that those who are supposed to be the guardians and need to provide care and love for the child would be the perpetrators. With regards to the difficulty to access mental health support and services, there is still much stigma that surrounds the issue, and, economically and politically speaking, universal healthcare has always been under contention.

Political Polarization Debate Discussion
Each case must have at least 8 “cards” in total (4 in the aff portion and 4 in the neg portion).You must use 6 different sources in your case. The sources MUST be quality academic sources. (I have provided some sources for you in Files)Topic: The United States should regulate political content on social media platforms.Your Case will have two parts:AffirmativeNegativeYou will break these up into 4 parts:-The Intro and Conclusion portions should include the normal parts (AG, Thesis, Preview/Review, Clincher).-The Body portion includes two piecesFirst, you will have a scripted speech and should be planned out to be 2-3 minutes long.Second, the refutation part will be a collection of evidence that you will use to refute your opponent’s claims.Case formatting:Your case should be a properly formatted outline. The Body will have two roman numerals in your outline. Under that you will have 2-5 Capital letters as sub-points. Below I will provide guidance on the parts of the outline. Affirmative (Negative) Intro BodyI. Advantages (Disadvantages) A. Advantage 1 (Disadvantage 1) 1. Tagline stating the claim and a brief description of the evidence you will read with proper ADP (Link) Full citation info (8pt)Block Quote from the article with 6-8 bolded sentences to read. (10pt) A summary and analysis of the info and how it relates to the debate and the argument you are making 2. Solvency (Impact) B. Advantage 2 (Disadvantage 2) 1. Harm/Impact (Link) 2. Solvency (Impact) II. Refutations A. Refutation 1 B. Refutation 2 C. Refutation 3One sub-point would look something like this:A. Despite the relative effectiveness of drones in meeting the first level goals of the US, they fail in thwarting terrorism. They have been proven in places like Pakistan to increase anti-US sentiments and fail to prevent terrorism. As an expert in International Security and Intelligence, S. Hall described in a winter issue of the Journal of Strategic Security in Winter 2014:[Help Wanted: American Drone Program Needs Multifaceted Support to be Effective, Drone technology has allowed more accurate targeting of individuals, better reconnaissance collection, and protected troops; Drones have also killed innocent civilians, destroyed villages, raised levels of anti-American sentiment while failing to reduce terrorism in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen. Despite a decade of drone campaigns to counter anti-American efforts, the hostility against the United States in these areas has increased and groups such as ISIL have emerged. This has to raise the question, do air-only campaigns really work to combat terrorism? The answer is no and it can be demonstrated by analyzing the weaknesses of the U.S. drone program in Pakistan. For the last decade, the United States has engaged in a drone campaign in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to combat terrorist groups that pepper the region. Despite the deaths of terrorist leaders and years of destruction, terrorism is still a pervasive problem in Pakistan and anti-American sentiment is at an all-time high. In this debate, you are likely to hear repeated claims of the effectiveness of drones in gathering technology and striking opponents without the loss of life. But if that action has been proven to not stop terrorism and increase anger toward the US, how can we consider drones beneficial? Parts further explained:Taglines: Under each main point of the outline, you will use “taglines” or topic sentences that state the claim you are making with each particular sub-point (sub-point A above). Your brief tagline plus the ADP for the source will allow you to transition into the evidence and warrant.Full Citation: In size 8 font you should include the relevant info you aren’t saying in the speech. This would include title of the article, the DOI link, and any other info that would be in a properly formatted works cited section but isn’t being said out loud in the oral citation (ADP).Evidence: Then you will include a piece of evidence, known as a “card.” This should be in size 10 font and indented like a block quote. You should also highlight or bold the sentences you will read. You should read 6-10 sentences from the source. Remember it is unethical to cite out of context or change the meaning of the author. Here is a video showing how to cut a card. It is like a long block quote with underlining and bolding to indicate the parts you will read in the debate. I want to remind you that commercial websites, pro-industry websites, biased .org, and some .gov sites are not academic and not effective at persuading an audience. Elevate the information beyond simplified paragraphs about the topic and read something effective and persuasive. A sample case outline on a previous topic is provided in Files to assist you. ActionsA rough example of what the body of the case would look like when assembled (without indentations):Aff Case StructureI. AdvantagesA. This should be the title of the advantage.1.

Under the second subpoint you should read evidence about the impact of significance or severity of the harm and what might happen if we don’t fix it. Please provide the ADP for the card:(CARD HERE)This is called an impact. You will want to use the impact in the rebuttals to outweigh any disadvantages read against you. 3. Under the third subpoint you should read a piece of evidence that proves your plan will solve the harm. Include the ADP for the source:(CARD HERE)This evidence will speak to the workability of the aff plan and specifically discuss how it will fix the harm of point 1 and avoid the impact of point 2.II.
