DEBATE

Framework/Model Case
Defining the resolution on the
proposition side is an example of a
framework, a model.
For the opposition: A countermodel
is when you disagree with the framing
of the resolution in some way
"A countermodel is a model put forward by the negative side that is not mandated by
the topic; for example, on a debate about instituting a carbon tax, the negative side
could institute a countermodel of subsidising renewable energy. In general,
countermodels should be avoided; they draw attention away from the affirmative's
proposal, and can seem as though they are conceding certain facts to the affirmative.
However, in some topic, they may be useful if it seems incredulous to argue that a
solution to the problem is unnecessary."
