This House believes that society places unreasonable expectations on celebrities to speak out on political issues.
This house believes that financial regulators in Western liberal democracies should aggressively limit systemically important institutions‘ total financial exposure to frontier AI providers.
For the purposes of this debate: Systemically important institutions are very large financial companies, such as major banks or insurers, whose failure could seriously damage the wider economy. Frontier artificial intelligence refers to the most advanced general-purpose AI systems, and frontier AI providers are the companies that develop or operate them. Financial exposure means situations where these financial institutions could lose significant amounts of money if an AI company fails or loses value, such as through loans, investments, or insurance. This does not include simply using AI tools or services in everyday business, like chatbots or software.
In post-conflict states, This House would implement a history syllabus that emphasises national unity as opposed to historical accuracy and truth.

These states typically face weakened institutions, social fragmentation, limited trust between communities, and an elevated risk of renewed tensions.This house would put a nationwide cap on the advertisement budgets that political parties have in the run up to elections
This house prefers a world where most films are neo-realist.
Infoslide:
Neo-realist films focus on the lives of ordinary people and everyday problems, rather than superheroes, fantasy worlds, or highly dramatic plots. These films aim to feel real and authentic rather than polished or spectacular. Neo-realist cinema often focuses on working-class or marginalised people, tells simple, slice-of-life stories, uses natural locations instead of studio sets, avoids heavy special effects or exaggerated acting, prioritises realism over entertainment or escapism. Neo-realist films are usually lower-budget and may use non-professional actors, natural lighting, and realistic dialogue.This house regrets the significant involvement of high profile individuals in politics (celebrities, billionaires, notable authors, Nobel prize winners). Examples of involvement in politics include: running for election, leading campaigns & fundraisers, giving speeches at major rallies, & endorsing candidates.

This house believes that it is immoral to befriend immoral people.
This House prefers the narrative of model B over model A in contexts of armed conflict.
Infoslide:
Across the world there are different cultural conceptions of death. For this debate, we distinguish between two major models. Model A, which understands death as a loss, is usually expressed in solemn rituals where dark colors, silence, and the explicit expression of grief predominate; examples of this model include traditional Western funerals or Christian liturgies focused on the separation between the living and the dead. In contrast, Model B conceives of death as a celebration of the life cycle, and is expressed through bright colors, music, food, and practices that highlight the symbolic continuity of the deceased. Manifestations of this approach can be seen in celebrations such as the Day of the Dead in Mexico, certain Afro-Caribbean rituals that honor ancestors, or the festive funerals of some Ghanaian communities that celebrate life with dances and parades.This house believes that underdog narratives in culture and media are overvalued

As a charity successfully making the world better, this house would reject donations from immoral actors.
TH, as a middle-class individual living in a moral credit society, would sell their moral credits.
Infoslide:
Moral credits refer to a currency obtained when an individual commits morally- upright actions (e.g. donating to charities, organ donation, etc). Moral credits can only either be obtained from the state or bought from another person. Individuals can then spend these moral credits on a range of morally- questionable actions (e.g. theft, murder, etc.), without legal or societal repercussions. These moral credits can be sold and everyone's moral credit scores can be viewed.This house would impose an exit tax on multinational corporations that relocate their production processes out of declining cities

This house believes that the Serbian protest movement should form a political party
INFOSLIDE: Protests in Serbia emerged in 2023 following public anger over instances of infrastructure failure and allegations of government negligence. By March 2024, the movement had expanded to encompass broader grievances against President Aleksandar Vučić’s government. While the movement has largely maintained distance from established opposition parties, some factions later formed into electoral coalitions to contest elections.

For the purposes of this debate, the above countries are 'the Eastern bloc'. Serbia, Bosnia, and Northern Macedonia, along with other countries, are not currently part of the EU, but are aspiring to join the EU.
Тhis House prefers a world in which the concept of sin in Abrahamic religions had been based solely on human action, rather than on some temptation from the devil.
Infoslide
Abrahamic religions are monotheistic religions whose common origin is recognized in Abraham or the recognition of a spiritual tradition identified with him (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). In these religions, the figure of the devil represents evil and sin, inciting the act of inclining toward evil in people.

This house opposes the increased shift to subscription based business models
Infoslide: Companies are increasingly adopting subscription models for selling their physical and digital products instead of solely relying on one-time sales.
