Hutchinson AC - Negative FOUCAULT

Jenks SK – Affirmative – Condom Bidding

THE STATUS QUO POLICY OF CONDOM PURCHASES FOR FOREIGN DISTRIBUTION IS BASED ON "BUY AMERICA". THE UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR DOMESTICALLY-PRODUCED CONDOMS-POLITICAL COMPROMISES GUARANTEE PROTECTIONISM. THIS PREVENTS ADEQUATE ACCESS TO CONDOMS FOR THE PEOPLE OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.

THE PLAN KICKSTARTS AN ETHIC OF RESPONSIBILITY – WE ARE OBLIGATED TO ALLEVIATE HIV SUFFERING IN AFRICA

AIDS is not my problem……..you create your own media 

The exclusion of the stranger from the ethical decision – making makes violence inevitable. OU intolerance of otherness guarantees nuclear annihilation. Vote AFF to inaugurate a new ethical framework that unconditionally embraces the Other.

Nevertheless, I am only too……………that such a path risks

The affirmative’s descriptions of the illness in Africa are invoked against the screen of people and nations being “under-developed.”  The result is a drive by both elites and their subjects to place development and its goals at the center of society despite the impossibility of achieving the goals of the affirmative case. The ultimate result achieved is more degrading physical and human ecologies and the killing, torture, and extermination of indigenous populations and cultures.

“The crucial threshold and transformation… that seems impossible to sunder.” 

Even if you help some Africans, that only makes them more dependent upon aid.  This prevents them from doing even menial tasks because they expect someone else to solve

their problems.

“Your last comment is typical of… stand up on their feet.” 

This turns and outweighs the case – African dependency on the West replicates the harms of the 1ac and ends in genocide – the impacts are empirical and systemic.

Ngugi 2007 (Mukoma, coordinator of the Toward an Africa Without Borders Organization and a political columnist for the BBC Focus on Africa Magazine, Znet, “Africa does not need more Western philanthropy,” April 21, http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=12641)

“But we as Africans also… and economic justice inside nations.” 

The alternative is to critique the discourse of development. Only by taking criticism as a serious first step can we begin to abandon the search for models of alternative development and start imagining alternatives to development.

Mahmud 1999 (Tayyab, 9 Transnat’l L. & Contemp. Probs. 25) 
“To move towards alternatives to… start imagining alternatives to development.” 

 

NIETZSCHE K 

The modern age is committed to a disavowal of tragedy. The triumph of Socratic reason manifests in our attempts to order life and renounce suffering. This requires the construction of an ideal real in opposition to the apparent world of chaos and violence. Enter the Affirmative. In the modern drive towards certainty and security and in an attempting at resolving disorder and insecurity the plan labors to mold the world to make it fit an idealized image of order.

Saurette 1996 (Paul, Professor of Political Theory at John Hopkins University, I Mistrust all Systematizers and Avoid Them: Nietzsche, Arendt and the Crisis of the Will to Order in International Relations Theory, Journal of International Studies, Vol. 25 No. 1, pp. 1-28)

“According to Nietzsche, the philosophical foundation…philosophical principle of modernity.” 

The affirmative will always be able to locate some external threat to world order. It is not a coincidence that Breaking News occurs every fifteen minutes because international politics are unpredictable. The insecurities cited by the affirmative are not unique; the uncomfortable yet irresistible truth is that uncertainty and risk art part and parcel of human life. Rather than coming to terms with this, the affirmative encourages us to stay glued to the television screen, stocking up on duct tape and water. At issue here is not just life itself but what makes life valuable. We encourage indifference and carelessness in a world inherently characterized by insecurity in an attempt to reclaim joy from the affirmative’s world of paranoid tiptoeing. 

 
The alternative is to do nothing
