Intro to Critiques

Fiat
The assumption in the debate game that we pretend the plan gets passed by the USFG. Then, we can debate out the
Costs (DA’s) vs Benefits (AD’s)
![Page 3: Intro to Critiques. Fiat The assumption in the debate game that we pretend the plan gets passed by the USFG. Then, we can debate out the Costs (DA’s)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649e5f5503460f94b59e79/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some people don’t like the fiat game
They don’t want to look only at ADS vs DA’s
They want to look at assumptions made by the other team

Example
Plan: give money to Afghanistan
Advantage: help save lives
Negative Critique: this plan makes the assumption that we can act as a “savior” for other countries, we shouldn’t think like that

Example
Plan: give money to Afganistan

Critique: we should not use the USFG, it is a sexist organization that tries to use power over people

Critiques are like:
DA’s – but without uniqueness
CP’s – but they don’t always have solvency
They are their own argument type.

Link
What the other team does.
For example: they use the USFG, they use sexist language, they use evidence from the mass media, etc.

Impact
The outcome of the other team doing this bad thing.
For example: the uphold the sexist institution of the govt. Or, they hurt me personally. Ect.

Alternative
Shows what the other team could have done to avoid the critique.
For example: use non-governmental groups instead of the govt. OR not use the sexist language in the first place

Uniqueness
The idea in a DA that the aff alone pushes us down the hill toward the impacts
In a critique: they are usually not unique. It’s more of an absolute GUILTY or NOT GUILTY argument, not a causation argument.

Activity
Come up with as many possible critiques you might run against a plan that:
Supports the government of Lebanon through giving aid to them to help prop up their legal system. Advantage: creating the rule of law in Lebanon.
