Debate Question #2

Do you think revolution is worth the upheaval and damage it inevitably causes? Can it bring about real and lasting change? Why or why not?

  1. Revolution is sometimes worth the effort. Examples are starting a revolution in order to gain freedom, as we did in the Revolutionary War against Britain. Revolution can be dangerous when there is a cunning leader, like Napoleon, and mentally challenged people, like the farm animals. In those cases revolution will inevitably end up as something negative.

  2. Yes, i do believe that revolution is worth it, at any extent that it may cause. It can bring about change, either for better or worse, but that's the risks we take with life. However, with a bad leader, such as Napoleon, it may be a threat to us, because they are fighting for bad reasons, which brings harm to others.

  3. Revolution is sometimes worth the destruction and upheaval it causes. If the people feel oppressed to the point where they cannot live this way any longer, than it may be worth the risk. The leader of the people needs to be unselfish and want what the people want. If the leader is like Napoleon, cunning and wanting to fight only to better himself, then the revolution is not worth it, and it may bring harm to the oppressed.
