00:00:15.389: week we'll be looking at affirmative
00:00:17.190: cases in a stood debate the affirmative
00:00:27.660: team needs to try and prove that there's
00:00:29.460: a problem in the world that needs to be
00:00:30.960: fixed then you should try and come up
00:00:33.390: with a plan and points to support that
00:00:35.520: plan as to how you're going to fix the
00:00:37.530: problem this is known as the affirmative
00:00:39.989: team case let's look at the three steps
00:00:42.660: to develop your case the first thing you
00:00:50.700: need to establish is the problem this is
00:00:53.399: sometimes also called the context or the
00:00:55.410: imperative here you need to explain
00:00:58.500: what's wrong in the world and why it
00:01:00.570: needs to be changed this part is all
00:01:02.789: about explaining to the adjudicator why
00:01:04.949: the world would be a better place if
00:01:06.659: this problem was solved the second thing
00:01:14.610: the affirmative team needs to do is
00:01:16.259: outline the plan this is otherwise known
00:01:18.570: as a definition or a model and is a plan
00:01:21.119: that shows how the affirmative team will
00:01:23.189: fix the problem
00:01:24.060: remember your plan should be directly
00:01:26.369: targeted at the problem
00:01:28.310: [Music]
00:01:34.910: finally you need to present your points
00:01:34.920: also known as arguments this is where
00:01:38.130: you justify your team's overall case and
00:01:40.350: explain why your plan fixes the problem
00:01:44.110: [Music]
00:01:50.270: let's take the topic that we should ban
00:01:50.280: all plastic bags one problem we can
00:01:52.890: identify with this context is that
00:01:54.930: plastic bags are bad for the environment
00:01:56.430: and they kill wildlife your plan might
00:01:59.369: be that the government would ban the
00:02:01.020: production and sale of all plastic bags
00:02:03.360: three reasons you can use to show that
00:02:05.580: this is true are firstly the plastic
00:02:08.340: bags are bad for the environment
00:02:09.770: secondly the plastic bags kill wild
00:02:12.360: animals and thirdly the companies and
00:02:14.520: people won't stop using plastic bags
00:02:16.290: voluntarily each of these points aims to
00:02:19.380: show why plastic bags are a bad thing
00:02:21.390: and therefore why your plan will be
00:02:23.700: effective in banning them that's all for
