I agree with the statement “This house believes that you should be able to vote at 16” because at the end of the day they are humans as well as us. If you don’t give them a chance to vote they will feel alienated. Sixteen year olds are usually in year 11 which means they will be going to university soon. They will have to pay to get in to university is a lot to pay. If they got to vote then the university fees would probably decrease. If they think that there is improvement needed a specific area and a party is strong in that area, they could vote for that party. If 16 year olds are allowed to have sex that automatically makes them an adult. Adults are allowed to vote aren’t they and sex makes them an adult which means they should be able to vote.

That is the end of my debate hope you vote for opposition.

I disagree with the statement “This house believes that space exploration is a waste of time and money” because space is actually a beautiful place, where you can experience seeing some of the most amazing things in this universe. By exploring space we can find a lot of answers to the phenomenons that occur and are unexplainable. Via our great highly trained astronauts, they can give us feedback and pictures of space. Space exploration has actually helped us because in the 1960s, engineers at a Laboratory (JPL) first developed the function of the digital camera. In the 1990s, a team at the JPL worked to create cameras that are small enough to fit on spacecraft while maintaining scientific quality. One third of mobile phone cameras contain the technology developed from this research. Space exploration has also given us
sunglasses lenses more resistant to scratches and spotting. A technique for creating diamond-hard coatings was developed and patented, and in the late 1980s a company got a license to use the patent. The technique was further developed and later used to make lenses that are scratch-resistant and shed water more easily.
