DEBATE: PRIVACY ON THE JOB AND TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

[promo2]

This assessment addresses the following course objective(s):

  • Describe the application of labor laws due to court decisions.
  • Describe negotiating techniques and how to overcome an impasse.

Instructions

We started this debate in the discussion forum.  The debate will continue with this assignment.

The procedure for debate calls for what is known as “university style debate.” The opening speaker is affirmative (PRO), followed by the negative (CON), the second affirmative, the second negative, and then rebuttal speeches.

Hence, your assignment for this week will take the following format.

First Affirmative: Define terms; outline the entire case; develop the main case; summarize your own part.

First Negative: Refute the definition made by your peer (in their initial discussion); outline your entire case; develop your main case; summarize your own part.

Second Affirmative: Refute major points made by your peer in the first negative discussion; develop your own part of the argument; summarize your argument.

Second Negative: Refute affirmative’s main points; conclude the argument for your side; summarize the entire case; and compares your side with the other side (your peer’s response).

Rebuttals: Each rebuttal speech follows the same plan: point out the main points of your peers’ entire case or argument and refute them one by one; summarize your conclusions.

The debate will be based on the following scenario.

Scenario:

An employee worked the night shift at a bakery. She was having an affair and sometimes pretended to go to work when she was really visiting her lover. One evening when she was supposed to be working, her husband called the bakery and learned that she was absent. The next day he went to the bakery and met with the human resources (HR) manager. After consulting with the employee’s personnel file, the HR manager informed the husband that she had been absent on a number of occasions. Shortly after, the husband committed suicide. He left a note saying that he hoped his wife would be happier without him being in the way. The employee is contemplating suing the bakery for divulging her personal information and holding them responsible for her husband’s death.
