SEPOCT Stacked Util Aff
Tournament: Grapevine | Round: 1 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit MC | Judge: Abbey Chapman The value is morality and the standard is maximizing wellbeing.
The actor is governments because they are the only thing that can prohibit production. Ignore framework justifications that don’t speak to the actor.
And, the government is util. 2 reasons.
First is Actor obligations.
A. Policy-making must be ends-based since side constraints make it impossible to weigh the tradeoffs inherent to decisions involving opportunity costs, as some constraint will always be violated. Even if there exists a way to differentiate violations, when these methods conflict, there exists no way to differentiate between them- any possible method without appealing to a higher set of principles, leading to infinite regress. Thus, there is no act-omission distinction for governments.
B. Government's ontology is based on survival. Ogbunwzeh, “The Ontology of Government.” January 4, 2009. Franklyne Ogbunwezeh was born in Nigeria and currently lives in Germany. He also attended seminary in Italy for 4 years. Mr. Ogbunwezeh is currently working on a Ph.D. in Social Ethics and Economics. http://ogbunwezeh.blogspot.com/2009/01/ontology-of-government.html Governance is the ordinance … subsistence in being.¶
C. Public policy-makers must look at util first because they act on behalf of a collective body, Goodin, Goodin 1995 Robert E. Goodin. Philosopher of Political Theory, Public Policy, and Applied Ethics. Utilitarianism as a Public Philosophy. Cambridge University Press, 1995. p. 26-7 MP 1.12.15 The great advantage …, as Chapter 3 shows.
Second is Policy making
A. Judges have an obligation to endorse the most educational practices. Just like a teacher would not accept a paper that was plagiarized or had lots of spelling errors, judges shouldn’t accept things that don’t maximize education.
B. And, role playing policy makers is the most educational. Shaw, Carolyn M. Shaw, “Pedagogy in International Studies: Using Role-Play Scenarios in the IR Classroom: An Examination of Exercises on Peacekeeping Operations and Foreign Policy Decision Making.” Wichita State University. 2001. MP 1.12.15 The use of … our ‘‘national interest.’’
