Debate Reflection

My thoughts on the debate are plain and simple... I felt that it was interesting to see what points my team and the others presented but it required a lot of on the spot thinking (Something I am not too good at within the topic of democracy). I found it hard to keep on a train of thought because of the depth of opposing questions. It is pretty funny how both my team and Sam and Trip's team both reflected on the past with democracy instead of discussing possible outcomes of the spread of democracy in the near future. Even though debating sucked in my opinion, watching Austin and David vs. Drew and Stephan was interesting. Both teams had really good points about cultural imperialism but it was clear who on each team did their research and who did not. It sucks how Drew and Stephan started to talk about government imperialism because if they didn't they probably would have won.
