TOPICS:

Round 2: This House would put more civilians in outer space.

Round 3: (Case Study) Paige is a patient who recently had surgery on her arm. She was treated by Dr. Robert Smith, who, unknown to her, doesn't have a good reputation around the clinic. Dr. Smith is thought of as a competent doctor who has brought many patients into the clinic, but he sometimes rushes through his work. It seems his practice is getting in the way of his golf game and social life. Paige's arm is not healing properly and after a few weeks of pain and frustration, Paige asks her friend, Dr. Vanessa Walters, a co-worker of Dr. Smith, if Dr. Smith is a good doctor.
In this case, the Government team must defend the position that: Dr. Walters is morally obligated to tell Paige about Dr. Smith's reputation.

Bronze: This House would make bilingualism a goal for all U. S. public school students.

Gold: This House believes that John Kerry should be the next President of the United States.
