Event Description:

A team event that advocates or rejects a position posed by the resolution. The focus of the debate is a clash of ideas in a persuasive manner that can be understood by a “lay” judge. Good debaters should display logic and analysis. They should use evidence when needed. They should win their case and refute that of their opponents. They should communicate effectively, using the fundamentals of good speaking. There are no burdens on either side. The national PFD resolution is used.

PFD Topic for November/December 2018

Resolved: The United States federal government should impose price controls on the pharmaceutical industry.
