Lượt 1 ủng hộ: 2p

Ladies and gentlemen. As the proposition side, we firmly believe that these pageants offer
significant value to society. Let us first present our views on this matter.
Beauty pageants, you know, It is not only physical appearance. They go beyond that,
contributing positively to society. These events serve as platforms for empowerment,
self-expression, and personal growth for the participants
Firstly, beauty pageants provide an opportunity for individuals to showcase their talents,
intelligence, and charisma. Contestants are encouraged to display their unique abilities
through talent segments, interviews, or public speaking engagements. This aspect of the
pageants fosters personal development, instills confidence, and enhances public speaking
skills, which are invaluable attributes in the professional world. For example Miss World
2014 - Elizabeth Safrit said that “Beauty pageants provide a platform for women to
showcase their talents, intelligence, and grace.”

Secondly, these pageants serve as a medium for promoting social causes and raising
awareness about important issues. The winner of this contest was influential calling people
to participate in various useful activities such as environmental conservation, education,
women's rights.Therefore, these individuals can amplify their voices and bring attention to
pressing societal concerns, creating a positive impact on the world.
Lastly, beauty pageants have economic benefits that cannot be overlooked. They attract
tourism, generate revenue for local businesses, and provide opportunities for designers,
stylists, photographers, and event organizers. The economic impact of these pageants
should not be underestimated, as they contribute to the growth and development of
communities.
In conclusion, while some may argue against the value of holding numerous beauty
pageants in society, we firmly believe that these events offer significant benefits. They
empower individuals, promote social causes, encourage diversity, and contribute to the
economy. Thank you.

As the opposition, we disagree with the proposition side's view that these pageants provide
significant value..you should remember a quote: “ Less is more”. We acknowledge that
holding many beauty pageants have certain merits, but we believe that the negative aspects
outweigh the positive ones. Allow us to present our arguments.
While the proposition side argues that beauty pageants provide an opportunity for personal
growth and empowerment, we find that they do harmful beauty standards and participants.
They truly look up to physical appearance.This narrow focus can have detrimental effects on
individuals' self-esteem, leading to body image issues and a negative impact on mental
health. For example, Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu gained weight uncontrollably,
becoming a topic of discussion in all beauty forums. The Indian beauty queen is facing
comments and criticism about her appearance from beauty pageant fans.
Moreover, the opposition acknowledges that beauty pageants may raise awareness about
social causes. However, we argue that there are more effective and inclusive ways to
promote these issues. It is essential to note that these organizer of these pageants often
concentrate on money.
Lastly, we acknowledge the economic benefits that beauty pageants can bring, but we urge
you to consider the potential drawbacks. The resources invested in organizing and hosting
these events could be redirected towards more pressing social needs. By holding too many
beauty pageants, we may be neglecting crucial areas that require attention and support
such as education, healthcare, poverty, infrastructure facilities..
In conclusion, We should strive for a society that values individuals for their character,
talents, and contributions, rather than their external appearance by holding too many
pageants. Thank you.

Now, as the proposition side, we would like to respond to their points and further reinforce
our stance on the value of holding numerous beauty pageants in society.
Firstly, regarding the opposition's concern about do harmful beauty standards, we agree that
there have been instances where pageants have placed too much emphasis on physical
appearance. However, it is essential to recognize that the beauty industry and social
pressures already exist. Rather than blaming the pageants themselves, we should focus on
transforming these events into platforms that promote diverse standards of beauty.
In response to the opposition's argument that there are more effective ways to raise
awareness about social causes, we believe that beauty pageants provide a powerful
platform to reach a wide audience. The contestants, being in the spotlight, can attract public
attention and use their influence to shine a light on important issues. They can serve as role
models and ambassadors, driving positive change
Moreover, it is true that many modern beauty pageants now actively encourage inclusivity
and representation of diverse backgrounds. For example: In the United States, for the first
time in history, all three major beauty pageants - Miss America, Miss USA, and Miss Teen
USA - have crowned black women with curly hair as winners. So that,by supporting and
promoting these inclusive pageants, we can foster a society that appreciates and celebrates
all forms of beauty.

Finally, addressing the opposition's concern about the allocation of resources, it is crucial to
understand that beauty pageants, when organized efficiently, can generate economic
benefits that can be reinvested in various social programs. The revenue generated from
these events can be directed towards supporting education, healthcare, and other social
initiatives. Additionally, beauty pageants often collaborate with charitable organizations,
raising funds and awareness for important causes. Therefore, these events can contribute to
the betterment of society both economically and philanthropically.
Let us embrace the potential of beauty pageants to empower, inspire, and foster positive
change in society. Thank you.
Lượt 2: Disagreement:
we would like to reinforce our opposition stance against the proposition's view on the value
of holding numerous beauty pageants in society.
You respond to our concerns about harmful beauty standards by suggesting that pageants
can be transformed into platforms that promote diverse standards of beauty. While this may
be an idealistic perspective, the reality is that the beauty industry, as they exist today,
continues to prioritize physical appearance above all else, reinforcing unrealistic standards
and contributing to body image issues.
While the proposition acknowledges the increasing inclusivity in modern beauty pageants,
we must remain cautious of superficial representation. As we say above, organizer just
concentrate on money. For example: Nawat Itsaragrisil - Miss Grand International's president
once said: "This organization is mine, because I pay for it. I am the one who decides who will
be crowned. Miss must be the one to help me earn a lot of money." That shows that what
investors want from the Misses is just money, not the original purpose.
Regarding the allocation of resources, you argue that beauty pageants can generate
economic benefits that can be reinvested in various social programs. However, we must
critically evaluate the opportunity cost of investing in beauty pageants. The resources
dedicated to organizing and promoting these events could be better utilized in addressing
more pressing social issues such as poverty, healthcare, and education. By prioritizing
beauty pageants, we risk diverting resources away from essential areas that have a more
direct and tangible impact on improving societal well-being.
In conclusion, while you say to address our concerns, we firmly believe that the negative
implications of beauty pageants outweigh any perceived value. They contribute to harmful
beauty standards, offer limited effectiveness in raising awareness about social causes, and
fail to genuinely embrace inclusivity. Thank you for your attention.

Question 4: Thư
Lượt 1 đội Đồng ý/ ủng hộ: (2p)

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to this debate. Let me present our arguments.

First and foremost, prioritizing experience enables young individuals to embark on a journey
of personal growth and skill development. When they choose to immerse themselves in
real-world situations, they go beyond the school framework and gain practical knowledge
that cannot be taught through textbooks alone, acquiring invaluable problem-solving abilities
and industry-specific skills. These hands-on experiences serve as a solid foundation for their
future careers, equipping them with the tools necessary to excel in their chosen fields.

Furthermore, by prioritizing experience over a high salary, young individuals open

themselves up to exploring different career paths and industries. The early stages of one's
professional journey are a time for self-discovery and understanding personal interests and
strengths. By gaining exposure to various work environments, they can assess their
passions and aspirations. This exploration phase allows them to make informed career
decisions, leading to long-term job satisfaction and fulfillment.

Another significant benefit of prioritizing experience is the opportunity to develop a wide

range of transferable skills. Early career experiences provide a platform to cultivate skills
such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability. So that young people
can enhance their employability and increase their chances of securing future opportunities,
even if they truly accept lower-paying positions.
Lastly, a high salary may offer temporary financial security, however, by gaining experience,
young individuals lay the foundation for long-term success and financial prosperity. The
knowledge, skills, and connections gained through experience provide a competitive edge
that can lead to higher earning potential and greater career advancement opportunities in
the future.

Thank you.

As a representative of the opposition side, I would like to present a counterargument to the

proposition that young individuals should prioritize gaining experience over earning a high
salary when starting their careers.

The proposition side argues that by prioritizing experience, young individuals can embark on
a journey of personal development. They’ve said that real-world experiences provide
practical knowledge and industry-specific skills that cannot be obtained through classroom
education. While this may hold true to some extent, it is essential to recognize that earning a
high salary can also contribute significantly to personal growth and skill development. For
example, famous football players like Messi or famous gamers, or artists, they don't need to
go to school when they start their careers, but they can earn millions of dollars with innate
talent without needing experience.

Contrary to your argument, earning a high salary early in one's career can provide financial
independence. It allows young people to meet their basic needs, support their families, and
navigate the high cost of living in modern life.
Furthermore, we acknowledge the value of experience in exploring different career paths.
However, it is important to note that a high salary can also offer the flexibility to explore
various options, particularly, young individuals can invest in further education, training
programs, or even start their own ventures, which allows them to gain practical skills and
knowledge in their chosen fields while still maintaining financial stability. For example,
learning foreign language, marketing course, and building personal branding through social
media through facebook, tiktok, instagram…

Last but not least, you also emphasize the development of transferable skills through early
career experiences. While experience plays a role in skill development, it is essential to
recognize that high-paying positions often come with greater responsibilities and challenges.
Young individuals who prioritize earning a high salary are pushed to develop skills such as
leadership, problem-solving, and strategic thinking in order to succeed in their roles. These
skills are gained by a high salary without gaining experience.

Thank you.

We firmly believe that focusing on experience is essential for long-term success. Allow us to
present our arguments and address the opposition's claims.
First and foremost, we argue that gaining experience fosters the development of valuable
professional relationships and networking opportunities. Working alongside seasoned
professionals provides young individuals with the chance to learn from their expertise, seek
guidance, and build a network of contacts within their industry. These connections can be
instrumental in opening doors to future career prospects, collaborations. While our
opposition emphasizes financial stability, we believe that the power of professional
relationships cannot be underestimated in today's interconnected world.

Furthermore, prioritizing experience clarifies career goals and promotes self-discovery. Early
career experiences allow young individuals to explore various industries, job roles, and work
environments. By immersing themselves in diverse experiences, they gain a clearer
understanding of their interests, passions, and strengths. This self-discovery enables them
to make informed decisions about their long-term career paths, ensuring they pursue fulfilling
work that suitable with their true aspirations. While our opponents emphasize financial
motivation, we believe that gaining experience with personal values leads to long-term
satisfaction and success.

Lastly, gaining experience early in one's career sets the foundation for long-term financial
stability. While our opponents focus on immediate high salary, we confirm that a track record
of accomplishments built through experience leads to better job prospects, promotions, and
ultimately higher salaries in the future. By investing in their professional growth and
accumulating relevant experience, young individuals position themselves for long-term
financial success rather than settling for immediate financial gratification.

Let us remember that success goes beyond immediate financial rewards and encompasses
the richness of experience gained along the way.

While our opponents have made compelling points, we firmly believe that prioritizing a high
salary is the most approach. Allow us to present our arguments

Our opposition argues that gaining experience fosters valuable professional relationships
and networking opportunities. While networking is indeed crucial, it should not be the only
focus at the expense of financial stability. By prioritizing a high salary, young individuals can
achieve financial independence and provide for themselves and their families. This financial
stability lays the groundwork for a secure future, allowing them to pursue opportunities
without the burden of financial constraints. for example: Gen Z has shown a strong
enthusiasm for the FIRE movement (Financial Independence - Retire Early), which
advocates for achieving financial independence and retiring at an early age. They strive to
accumulate a significant amount of money while still young and then aim to "retire" early in
order to enjoy life and have the freedom to pursue their passions.

Moreover, you emphasize the importance of clarifying career goals through gaining
experience. However, we argue that a high salary provides young individuals with the means
to explore their options and make informed decisions. With a stable financial foundation,
they can invest in additional education, training programs, or specialized certifications that
align with their interests.
Additionally, you say that gaining experience promotes flexibility and adaptability. While this
is true, a high salary offers individuals the flexibility to make career transitions or pursue new
opportunities when they arise. With financial stability, they can afford to take calculated risks
and explore different paths without compromising their well-being or financial security. A high
salary provides the freedom to adapt to changing circumstances and seize opportunities that
may lead to greater long-term success.

Lastly, you argues that gaining experience leads to long-term financial stability. While
experience is undoubtedly valuable, a high salary can provide immediate financial relief and
create a solid foundation for future financial growth. With higher earnings, young individuals
can invest in savings, retirement plans, or real estate, securing their financial future. By
prioritizing a high salary early on, they position themselves for greater earning potential and
improved financial prospects.

. Let us remember that financial stability is an essential foundation upon which individuals
can build their careers and pursue their aspirations.
