How about "if any other president was in Lincoln's place, would they be revered too?"

Edit- Forgot about the world part. 

Let's see.... something about Hannibal! He's bad-ass.

What do those things have to do with world history?

"Is Global Warming real" is always a good debate.


thank you very much! I'll use that one...mods can close this now if they want

So what does that have to do with world history?


polution has happened in our history, in our world...

Yeah, but then you can make the Wirelss Ear Force x4 headphones world history using that logic.

I'm just asking how you're going to make that into a world history debate.  It's not my assignment so I don't care how you do it and I have no intentions of doing your assignment for you, but I'll at least try to give the suggestion that going with global warming probably isn't the best idea.

If you're just trying to get it done, just pick a major historical figure and go with it.

If you're trying to be clever, pick a random country, civilization, or somewhat unknown controversial person, go back a few hundred years, and pick an important moment.

If you want to have fun, pick a stance like Hitler was right and then actually make arguments.  Debate doesn't really matter if you're wrong, it just matters that you pick a stance and argue it.

yeah but wireless ear phones isnt important as new york sinking in ocean water :P

 

I think I can say global warming is in fact real because (then ill go into different statistics about places that are warmer etc.) hmm mabye ur right idk, im just gonna pick it just to get it over with

 

edit HEY! mabye ill do "Was hitler a good leader?" ill say yes and tell how he improved the german government! (mabye)

Don't do Hitler, far to controversial. You'll probably create tension between you and your fellow classmates.

Instead, say that Stalin was good for Russia. It's controversial because he killed a huge amount of people, ruled with terror, cruel secret police etc. But not too overboard. Many arguments could be made that he improved the country though. I think it could be a great topic choice.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Trust me, even though Stalin killed more people, there's BY FAR a much larger social stigma that surrounds Hitler. I think it's the safer topic...

But then again, this is your assignment. Feel free to do what you want.

Which member of the Three Stooges made the greatest impact upon modern society?

If your going with global warming, go back to a point adjecent to it. Just debating global warming would fit better with a geography class. I'd take the statement: "The US should have signed the Kyoto protocol" as a replacement.
Or you could go further back and do something with the treaty of Rome.

I'd also like to point out that your Haïti statement is more of an actuality then history. I mean, we are still giving to them, it's hardly in the past.

IF you want a real statement of classic history, try debating that Julius Ceasar was totally right in declaring war on the SPQR circa 50BC. This made the roman empire just that, an empire over a republic like it used to be. Seeing as the US is also a republic you could have a very fun debate because in the end, what was better for Rome?!
