Culture Week: Final Debate Competition (October 29)

Another English Culture Week event - finals of the English debate competition. Accounting and Finance went up against our very own debate team from the English Department. The topic was - Individualism verses Collectivism. What an interesting topic for Chinese students to debate.


The moderator was tough but fair and made sure both sides kept within the time limits.


The affirmative side was from my own Department of Foreign Languages. From left to right: Kathryn, Nathan, Killua, Fay, Craig and Amelia.


The Negative side was from the Department of Transportation


The Affirmative side, collectivism over individualism, presents their initial argument.


The Negative side, individualism over collectivism, presents their initial argument.


The judges came from the ranks of the teachers. Kathleen gave the final judges wrap-up.

More presentations by our own Ms. Susan.


The Best Debater came from this year's runner up team.

The victors in this year's contest. Actually, it was not really that close as our team was loaded with the best English speakers in the entire university.

Once you are done taking photos, try out your hand at editing them. A well known technique for producing interest in a photograph would be to make an only one-color show. Have the impression appear to be white and black, but for one particular color or topic. This will likely generate distinction, and bring the attention that you need it.
