s
of
value
focus
on
abstract
moral
and
philosophical
principal
For
example
：自由比平等更有价值
仁慈的专制是最好的政府模式
用一条
无辜的性命去拯救
10
人是道德的。
s of policy are plans of action to
solve an extra problem
。
For
example
：本院主张废除禁止虐待动物的法律
本院主张禁止发布错误言论的演讲
本院相信欧盟应该为奖励父母生孩子
本院将会禁止平民使用核能
我们的辩论主要是
policy motions
A closed
motion
（封闭）
在议会制辩论
中，
PM
（
prime minist
er
首相）
被赋予
（
< br>set the ground
for the debate
）划定辩论范围的权力，通过定义和解释
motion
，
换句话就是说，
PM
可以缩小或者扩
大辩论的范围。一个
closed
motion
解释和定义的范围是固定的。
但是
semi
motion
（半封闭）
和
open
motion
却相对可以自由的定义。我们不用定义所有的<
/p>
term
（概念）
，
当这些概念被观众所知道的。
但这个
motion
的
term
大家都清楚的明白时，我们就
describe statue quo
（现象和背景）
或者说存在的问题。如本院将废除国际妇女节。这个
motion
我
们就不要
interpret
（解释）
，
just describe the
statue quo as follow
：
International
Women
’
s Day is aimed at
providing the opportunity
to celebrate
the progress made to advance
equality,justice,peace and
development.
It is
evidence that women in the urban
area in
china
have
achieved
equal
rights
and
enjoy
their
lives
as
men
indeed is
worth what about the majority of women in
rural area? They are still suffering
from poverty. While their might
be
worried about food for their children,not to stay
for themselves.
We have to remember
that more than 30 million people in china is
under the poverty line, of which more
than half are women. Ladies
and
gentlemen,
having
this
in
your
mind,
do
you
still
want
to
celebrate
international
women
’
s
day?
We
are
pleased
to
have
this
opportunity
to
address
this
problem
that
is
faced
by
thousands
of
women.
相同的像：本院将废
除独生子女制度。大家都明白就不用
interpret
。
An Semi-closed
motion
半
封闭的
motions
有相对更大范围用来定义，所以我们需要定
义重要的概念（
key term
）或者缩小和界定重要概念的范围，使
辩论的方向朝有利于
government
的方向来定义。
例如
the house
would intervene in Syria
其中的
intervention(
干
涉
)<
/p>
到底干涉什么方面呢？我们可以理解为经济，军事，外交等
等，这
时就可以界定一个具体的范围来辩论，这也是
prime
minister
的重要策略。
for example
Firstly, we might focus on
diplomatic intervention and interpret
the motion as follows
We are here to debate the motion, this
house would intervene in
syria, it is
evident that this resolution is referring to the
ongoing
controversy
in
syria.
That
is
the
basis
for
today
’
s
debate.
Our
model
is
simple:requesting
countries
like
russia
to
issue
pressures
on
the
assad
administration
(
指叙利亚的阿萨德政
府
)t
o negotiate with protesters.
Secondly,we
might
interpret
the
motion
with
regard
to
economic sanctions
Ladies and
gentlemen,thousands of civilians in syria are
being
killed
or
arrested
simply
because
they
have
different
opinion
against
Assad
administration.
We
cannot
act
as
onlookers
any
more.
We
are
here
to
call for
economic
sanctions
on
the
Assad
administration to force them to stop
the cruel treatment
to the
people
’
s proper
appeals
Thirdly,we
might
interpret
the
motion
in
terms
of
military
intervention
as
what
William
Bernard
Jones,
the
champion
of
WUDC,has
done
on
the
motion.
He
describe
the
problems
in
syria
In
1982,
at
the
climax
of
six-
year
islamic
insurgency
throughout
syria,
president
hafez
al-Assad
ordered
a
scorched
earth
policy
against
the
town
of
hama
to
quell
an
uprising.
In
1982, the world did nothing and those
with power that stood by
are complicit
in the deaths of those people. Thirty years later,
the
people of syria once again need our
if we stand by and
do nothing, their
blood will be on our hands.
So what
is my proposal? For
the purposes of
this debate, this
house
is
turkey .
I
will
say
more
about
this
later,
but
for
the
moment ,we think that
realistically, turkey is the only state with
the
ability
and
political
will
to
do
this.
We
would
like
to
work
through the structures
of NATO, which Turkey as a member is
legally entitled to do,and we want to
ask the UN security council
