Task 1: Ethical Positioning & Initial Argumentation (Pre-Debate Foundation)
The opening statement of the lesson was: "A society that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment for all crimes is inherently weak."
a) What was your initial, instinctive stance (Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree)? Briefly note it here.
b) Now, moving beyond instinct, construct a nuanced academic argument against your initial position. You must argue from the opposite perspective. Use at least two of the following concepts in your counter-argument: recidivism, deterrence, social reintegration, retributive justice, civic fragility.
