KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT CORRUPT

Mr. SpeakerHonorable judgesColleaguesThe AffirmativeAnd members of this August Hall,

Good morning.Members of the house:

A barking dog does not bite.

bviousl!, the Affirmative has gone

be!ond boundaries to "heel the

motion to"ards their S#$$T

advantage.

Have no fear, Members of This

August House. Allo" us to sho" !ou

the light%

As the motion goes:

&'#($)G$ C**+TS

Allo" me to define toda!-s motion:

st : &'#($)G$

A//ording to +'$SC, it means the

/ognitive /apa/it! * the kno"ing.&no"ing and doing are t"o separate

attributes

0nd : C**+TS

A//ording to Cambridge )i/tionar!,

it means, immoral /ondu/ts

1n short, the motion means:

&no"ing leads to immoral /ondu/ts

ur stand is,

&no"ledge itself is motionless

"ithout a/tion. 1mmoral /ondu/ts are

the translation of thoughts through

a/tions. &no"ledge b! itself is dead.

Members of the House,#e believe that kno"ledge is onl!

reali2ed in a/tion. #hat "e think and

"hat "e do are t"o differentapproa/hes. &no"ledge does not

have these t"o attributes. &no"ledge

is the 3kno"ing- and not the 3doing-.

M! role as the first speaker is to

enlighten !ou on:

C'SC1$'C$

ur se/ond speaker "ill rebut the

se/ond and third arguments of the'egative:

And /larif! t"o more points from the

'egative. 4inall!, our third speaker

"ill )$value A(( the Affirmative5s

arguments and reinfor/e our STA')

on the motion.

Members of the House,

6efore 1 begin "ith m! rebuttals,

allo" me to refute the definitions

given b! the Affirmative:

M! dear Affirmative,

8ou have obviousl! e9panded thedefinitions of the motion%

#e believe that &no"ledge b! itselfis dead. The /apa/it! to think and theabilit! to perform are t"o separatea/tions. &no"ledge is the 3kno"ing-and unless hands gro" on&no"ledge, "e /an be rest assuredthat kno"ledge does not /orrupt.

Members of the House, as 1 have

/larified the ske"ed definitions of the

Affirmative, allo" me no to pro/eed

"ith the first rebuttal:

The first speaker from the Affirmative

mentioned that:

77777777777777777777777

77777777777777777777777

77777777777777777777777

This is "hat "e /alled ignorant%

Members of the House,#e do not den! that there are people

"ho use their kno"ledge andperform immoral /ondu/ts.bviousl!, the! do "hat the! think.

)oing and reali2ing the thoughts arenot kno"ledge%

#e, as the 'egative believe thatkno"ing and doing are

interdependent%

Ho"ever, interdependent does notmean '$%

This is an intelligent e9/hange ofideas and "its and S in all Honourand Honest!, do not e9pand thedefinitions of the motion toda!%

Members of the House, allo" me no"

to pro/eed "ith:

these, as a//ording to the affirmative

A//ording to the Stud! of

Anthropolog!, Cons/ien/e means the

moral right or "rong of one5s o"n

a/ts or motives. So, our /ons/ien/e

serves as the part of one5s thoughts

that agrees "ith good and disagrees

"ith bad. 1t is the me/hanism that

allo"s !ou to kno" the differen/e

bet"een good and evil.

So "hen the affirmative sa!s that

kno"ledge b! itself /orrupts, the!have /learl! forgotten about

/ons/ien/e, the strong determiner of

translating thoughts into a/tion.

Again, members of the House,

)oes this mean that if "e are to

follo" our /ons/ien/es /olle/tivel!

there "ill be no problems and no

"rong; 'o, this is definitel! not true.There is no absolute right or "rong.

Stealing, murder, l!ing, et/. all are

generall! a//epted as "rong, but one

/an al"a!s justif! a "rong b! finding

loopholes in one5s /ons/ien/e.

1n times of "ar, killing is a//epted. 1f

it is from the ridi/ulousl! ri/h,

stealing is justified. 1f it is for the

better good, l!ing is a//epted as

ethi/al.

1t is on an individual level, then, that

"e de/ide "hat is justifiable from

"hat is not.

Therefore , "e all have different

/ons/ien/es and standards to obe!.

ne /an /ertainl! obe! one5s

/ons/ien/e and still be in the "rong.

ur /ons/ien/es are developed in

mu/h the same "a! that our

personalities or belief s!stems are,

the! are relative to our environment

and e9perien/es. #ith some

e9planation, one ma! /ome to the

kno"ledge that one /an5t trust one5s

/ons/ien/e as a sour/e of absolute

moral truth

Members of The House,

A good /ons/ien/e is one of themost important indi/ators of ourmoral health, and in fa/t the linkbet"een /ons/ien/e and moralit! is at"o "a! street.

Ho" do "e kno" that language/orrupts; n "hat ground;

Most people learn "hat it is to begood from their parents, from s/hool,or from their /hur/h. These are allpositive sour/es of edu/ation if the!are prea/hing the right message.

The interesting thing is that "e donot al"a!s gro" up "ith the samemoral attitude as our parents. As "eenter our teens and begin to makeour o"n de/isions man! of us
