JANFEB -- Structural ViolenceTournament: Harvard Westlake | Round: 1 | Opponent: Malborough SD | Judge: Rebecca Kuang Structural violence is the most important impact – the marginalized are too often ignored in everyday decision-making, exacerbating their exclusion. Structural violence comes before moral theories because it predetermines the moral agency of oppressed actors as irrelevant. Winter and Leighton 991 Thus, the standard is minimizing structural oppression. Debate should deal with questions of real-world consequences—ideal theories ignore the concrete nature of the world and legitimize oppression. Curry 14 Ideal theory destroys practical application of ethics. Prefer non-ideal theory as it accounts for structural conditions. Mills 3 In order to successfully address structural violence we need to combine critique with action. Educational spaces like debate are inherently political. We should use this space to challenge the neoliberal order that detaches ourselves from the possibility of social change. Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for the debate who best methodologically challenges structural violence. In the status quo, constitutionally protected speech is being restricted by colleges. Moore ‘16 Contention Silencing problematic speech legitimates and disseminates it. Rosenbloom 11 Speech codes are policy failures and increase racism . Friedersdorf 15 | 1/14/17 |
