  • This house prefers the political left following a policy of syndicalism over a policy of traditional socialism

    Infoslide

    Syndicalism is a left-wing political philosophy which seeks to advance the left through unionising workers and advancing their demands through strikes, with the ultimate goal of seizing the means of production and the economy at large through social ownership. This differs from traditional forms of socialism which seek to achieve the same goals by capturing the political executive of a state either through democratic means or revolution.

  • This house prefers the RTM-only system over the Retention-only system for the 2024 mega-auction.

    Infoslide

    The Indian Premier League is a club based franchise cricket tournament. Clubs recruit players majorly via a “mega-auction” which occurs every 3 years. In the mega auction, every club has a capped equal pool of funds to bid for players from. For the upcoming 2025 IPL Season, clubs have been allowed to keep players through two methods. The first method is "Retention-only system", through which clubs can keep 3 players of their choice from the existing squad before an auction based on negotiation between the retained player and the team. Remaining un-retained are released into the auction. The second method is “right-to-match only system” a.k.a RTM-only system (applied during the auction) which allows clubs to match the final price of a player that was determined through auction, and keep them. Only 8 RTMs are allowed. Regardless of the method through which teams want to keep players, the money is deducted from their auction fund for that year.

  • Assuming feasibility, This house would sue the National General Hospital

    Infoslide

    You are a medical student intern in the National General Hospital (the biggest, national hospital serving the marginalized). Your responsibilities include monitoring the vital signs of patients, suggesting treatment plans, etc. NGH is also known to be underfunded with a sheer lack in manpower. One day, because of the number of patients during your shift, you fail to monitor the vitals of a critical patient for several hours. The doctor who rounded on the patient found that they have actually died already. News spread fast, and you become the center of controversy among your batch, even to the point of people anonymously posting about you in forums that reach the medical community in the country. The events have brought you significant mental and emotional distress to the point of you experiencing a psychiatric emergency.

  • This house, as the Philippine government, would require all graduates bound by RSAs to pursue a profession that is directly linked to their degree when tendering return service (e.g., BS Biochemistry scholars working as biochemists, engineering scholars working in an engineering field, etc.)

    Infoslide

    In the Philippines, the return service agreement (RSA) compels the recipient of educational subsidy to render service in the Philippines for a specific amount of years proportional to when they had been receiving the subsidy from the government during their collegiate years. Usually, the RSA applies right after the student graduates. People bound by the RSA can opt out of the agreement by paying for the expenses paid by the government for their studies. However, not all scholars are obligated to pursue a career in the field for which their education was funded.

  • THO the practice of stunt casting on Broadway

    Infoslide

    “Stunt casting” refers to the practice of casting actors who are prominently known for their work in television or film - regardless of any lack of experience onstage - in plays or musicals as a way to increase interest and ticket sales for the production in question (eg casting Sabrina Carpenter as Cady in Mean Girls: The Musical, North West's casting as Young Simba in The Lion King, and David Hasselhoff being cast as the titular character(s) in Jekyll & Hyde).

  • This House prefers the New South Wales model of medical internship allocation to the Victoria model.

    Infoslide

    Graduating medical students in Australia are not eligible to practice medicine unsupervised, and must complete a two year paid internship as a junior doctor in a public hospital to obtain general registration with the Medical Board of Australia. In New South Wales, internship positions are allocated without regard to indicia of merit (CV, grades etc). Candidates have the opportunity to express their preference of desired hospital, but these may not be honoured if too many applicants register their preference for a particular hospital. Domestic graduates of local universities are guaranteed a job, but must accept the single offer they are made. In Victoria, internships are allocated primarily by merit. Candidates receiving internships at the most sought after hospitals (generally large tertiary referral hospitals in metropolitan Melbourne) are decided by a combination of medical school grades, curriculum vitae, references from senior doctors and an interview.
