A debate brief is a short document highlighting key points relating to a current issue. Debate briefs can be written about any number of controversial problems in the world today (examples include the war in Iraq, nuclear proliferation, global warming, education initiatives, women’s rights, etc.) or about problems local to your community.
This week, do some research on an issue of your choice and post a short debate brief highlighting key points. Here are a few details to keep in mind:
1) Debate briefs should be…brief! Half a page is adequate for this assignment.
2) This is not an essay, and should not be written as such. Feel free to use bold face, italics, bullet points, and other document techniques to draw attention to key details.
3) Organize your brief into four sections: introduction, background (history), key facts/statistics, and suggestions for Parliamentary debate arguments.
This is a challenging assignment! If you have any questions, or if you are confused about debate briefs, feel free to email me: joseph.c.dugan@gmail.com.
Have fun!

In Korea today many people are talking about the buying the cows that are in the mad cow disease. Some people from US said that there are no problem with their cows but I saw the real life documentary in my school. One man (I forgot his name..) he said that threr are no matter in their cows and they ate the cat that ate the cows suddenly died becuase of mad cow disease. Also many people died and his daughter’s friend who ate toghter to proof that there are no problem died because of the mad cow disease. I don’t want to die! I can not understand the president to but that cows. I think he wants to die and I just want him to eat that cows. I will never eat cows from now. I hope it will stop to buy cows from US.

Mad cow disease criticism leads and now the Republic of Korea is hot. Makes many information from the position where the medias which are various are various and is going. What citizens right now, subjectivity of probably like that self leads and divides is acting it. But with the Internet lie factual circulation sees the articles which lean with one side direction from the same media and, the people are will go wrong and seeing the possibility which will do. And even the newspapers which are the government and public trust cannot believe. If says and that the majority is right, that the decimal is wrong, if sees and it is not only thing one right. The result watches more a little and knows but will lead with the direction which more recovers that result a little in order to go from we how to see a problem now and must act?
I think all Korean don’t want to die. So I hope the president stop buying U.S cow.

I think it is not good parafraph. I will wirte again. —————————————-
Today there are many talking about buying cows from the US so that they will get the mad cow disease. If we get mad cow deases that froms cow, our brain will have a hole and we will be like crazy human. Many people disagree because they don’t want to die, and me either! There are some reasons why I think we should not buy the cows from the US.
First reason is because, in the old time news some body (I forgot his name sorry! I wachted that in school so I can’t find!)said there is no problem with their cows and they eat with his daughter and her friedns. Also with many people. First, the cats died and after many people suddenly died with his daughter’s firend. Then he can’t say anything. It’s very dangerous! We can eat if we wants to die! But there won’t be!
Second, in the US they buy millions of cars what they want, but for us they just want to buy cows! We don’t want to buy cows. We are consumer so we must pick what we want to buy. They buy what they want! We can’t pick because just we are weak! That’s not fare! Don’t we think?
These are my reasons why I really really doesn’t want to buy a US cows. We don’t want to die and also we are consumer to buy there things. I hope we won’t buy the cows from the US. Thank you for reading^^
