Debate Reflection

-The hardest part of this project was working alone. I had no one else to rely on and I had to do all the work, research, talking and responding to questions. I overcame the challenge to produce a mediocre debate but I exceeded in no categories but not because I was working alone but because I just generally suck at working.

-None of my perspectives were changed during my research or listening to others talk. I did find it amusing and rather intriguing when researching Quebec’s independence how irrational the subject was. Neither side was non-biased and utilized hard facts. for example, when I researched in French, no matter what I did search for I would only find pro-independence sources that were entirely based in Nationalism, and when I did the same questions in English I would find the complete opposite. At times both sides said the opposite things, like Pro-Quebec sources would say that it would help the economy and the English sources said the opposite. All in All I found it hard to argue when all the arguments were purely based in Nationalism and counter-arguments were for Anti-Nationalism. My perspective wasn’t changed, I would more say enlightened or expanded on with new information.
