Debate questions

1.What are the main arguments presented by Team 1?

- colonization helped improve living quality, health, and money resources.

-  brought modern technology.

- advances poorer countries with communication and transportation.

2.  What is the main evidence presented by Team 1?

- colonization brought health. This was proved by an observation of African men getting taller, this would mean that they are getting healthier and they can produce more babies in a healthy state.

- African goods can be traded for money and could make the tribes wealthier.

 3.  What are the main arguments presented by Team 2?

- when African artifacts are taken away by the British, the Africans loose culture.

- all colonization leads to is genocide and greed.

- Britain is using African artifacts as a trophy, hey are showing off how they conquered yet another country.

4.  What is the main evidence presented by Team 2?

- 46% of African artifacts are taken from Africa. 

- by stealing artifacts, Britain is basically using Africa for their own personal gain.

 5.  Who won the debate? Why?

I think that group 2 won the debate because they had a strong answer that made me personally think about how bad colonizing was. If group 2 had something to say about taking the rituals away from the tribes because of the violence that goes into them (which I agree with), group 2 would say that that is not considered horrible to them. Yes it is unhealthy and extremely unsafe but it is still part of their culture and by taking this away, you take their culture and personalities away as well.
