TERM 1 DEFINITION 1
With the vast differences and individu ality in our population,
working hours differ greatly between people due to several
different factors such as age, financia l status and family size. Good
evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Ton ight we will prove to you that
having a maximum numbers of work ing hours per week would not
only be detrimental, but unnecessar y.
TERM 2 DEFINITION 2
Tonight, as first speaker, I will be speak ing about firstly, the fact
that the government has no right to intervene and to determine a
blanket law on a vastly diverse nation , and secondly that the
greater social mobility caused by hav ing no limit to the working
hours per week, allows for a better ov erall quality of life for the
population. However, first of all I would like to rebut several flaws
in the affirmative teams case.
TERM 3 DEFINITION 3
I will now move on to my first argume nt. My first argument tonight
looks at the fact that the governme nt should have no right to
intervene and implement a maximu m number of working hours.
Government intervention in this cas e is wrong for several reasons:
Firstly, by implementing a blanket rule applied to everyone, the
government cant cater to individual situations.
TERM 4 DEFINITION 4
Several factors like economic status , education, race, age and
family size can all have large impacts on the amount of hours
needed to work a week by an individu al, purely for the survival of
their family. In this situation, we believ e that the individual would
be more informed about their own po sition, and the way that their
choices can affect their financial pos ition. Secondly, there is no
need for the government to interve ne.
TERM 5 DEFINITION 5
We believe that the only time we w ould allow the government to
intervene would be when there we re no benefits and very high
harms such as drugs, unsafe work co nditions or abusing workers
as a direct result of having no working hour limits. But why is this
not one of these situations, ladies and gentlemen? Obviously, we
already have systems in places to pre vent certain kinds of
problems, and when they do occur, it is not a direct result of
having no working hour limit.
