Chapter 19,20,21 Negative Strategies
Negative Position-Tips • Must try to prepare for several different cases that may be presented by the affirmative • Decide on which affirmative arguments are strongest and try to tear down these arguments. • Also look for the weakest arguments and locate evidence to exploit them.
Negative • Needs Case: • (1st negative) Argue that the status quo is fine and that problems stated by the negative are not significant or inherent within the system. • (2nd negative) Argue the solvency, workability, and disadvantages of affirmative plan.
Negative • Comparative Advantages: • (1st negative)-discuss how status quo can gain same advantages as the affirmative plan • (2nd negative) continues this discussion with different advantages.
Counterplan • The riskiest move for the negative team/surprise tactic • Offers a plan not within the resolution! • Shifts the burden of proof to the negative • Why is negative plan more advantageous than affirmative plan! Provide support! • To be used mainly when there is significant evidence for change in the status quo
Counterplan • (1st negative): presents counterplan in first constructive speech. • The counterplan must be nontopical! • Only one plan can exist-and that is the counterplan. • Better to do the counterplan-benefits • Counterplan must state (just like affitmatives have to do) how the counterplan will be executed.
Counterplan • State advantages that only come from counterplan. • Highlight in debate the negative disadvantages the counterplan avoids that the affirmative plan creates!
