The Debate – Opinion and Experience

Last week we had a debate in the Congress Room with some of our classmates that were participating in different types of subjects. That day I had lots of things to do, so I decided to take a break in order to watch my friends debating with other teenagers. I remember that when I was talking to them before the event, they were like presenting a nervous crisis. Talking about reality they weren’t like that, but yes they were really stress and with anxiety of how does their opponent will react to their questions and opinions.

The hours passed and they were ready to say their speeches. It was already 11 o’clock and the first one that I saw was Fernando. He was nervous but very sure of what he was going to say in front of the judges and public. I remember that when I was sitting down on the front part of the audience I saw the judges to my left side and a traffic light on my right side. These lights were the ones in charge of telling the participants the time they have in order to finish with their speeches or answers.

Then the second person that I saw was Krista; she was very nervous, but I notice that she had some little pieces of paper in her hands in order to remember some of her words. When she was discussing with her partner he was always like trying to shout at her or make opinions that will make her feel uncomfortable. Krista was telling her opinions and the boy was like only just waiting for the response in order to attack her.

Finally I saw my last friend that was Paulina. She was always very sure of what she was saying. Her partner was also very hard but she defined and explained her point of view in a perfect way. After that they made their conclusions and some of the principals gave diplomas to the participants. They also announced the 3 places that won. The third place was Fernando ( I was very happy that a classmate could win the 3^rd place). Then the second place was a boy of 6^th semester and finally the 1^st place was Marcos from 6th semester also. (He gave very good arguments and a lot of statistics about the topic).

Now talking about my opinions in the debate I will like to focus in only one topic. I love the topic of the technologic urns. I think that it has a lot of positive but also negative aspects. For example some of the positive aspects that I notice were that this new machinery will help to improve our ecological culture that is being fomented during all this years. Also that we are going to have more chances to vote for the handicapped people. And even though Mexico isn’t very advance in technology and all that things we have to open and accept new changes every time we can in order to look for benefits and services to community.

Definitively I will say that I’m in favor with the technological urn. Why? Because I love change and the concept that Mexico will develop and improve even more, it’s an excellent opportunity to jump one step more.
