Debate on Industrial Organic Farming
Humanities
My position: Pro
1. Post the statement that you chose, from those listed below (or one that you’ve created on this week’s readings). Label this posting “proposition.”
Statement: Industrial organic food production is better than conventional industrial food production when it comes to the environment, farmers, public health, and taxpayers, but it is still unsustainable (182-184).
2. Post a 1.5 page double-spaced presentation supporting your position (for or against) the statement chosen. Your presentation should be full of “convincing facts” from our texts or your research to sway the audience to your point of view on the question. Label your statement “pro” (for) or “con” (against) so we will know where you stand on the statement.
2. your opponent posts his/her 1.5 page presentation for or against the statement.
3. Read your opponent’s statement, and post a 1 page response to his or her points, why you think he or she is wrong, what you can agree with him or her about, and why you continue to support your position. Also please post a discussion question addressed to the class. Label this posting “rebuttal and question”
4. the second presenter responds with a 1 page rebuttal and question for the class.
