Debate Reflection

I thought that overall, the two debates that we did in class were interesting. My group had the "no" argument for the question about whether or not the world is a victim of American cultural imperialism. It was somewhat difficult to come up with pieces of evidence for a question that was mostly based on opinions and different views of the our world. I think it would be better for us to have debate questions that we are passionate about and that we will actually give a lot of effort in defending our particular case. Also I think that in order to have a more heated argument, the groups should have been able to pick which side that they agreed with.
