1. Read the motion several times.
2. You need to start with the end goal in your mind. What are you going to achie
ve, and which people do you intend to serve?
3. Talk about the status quo. What is/are the problem/s and their severity?
4. Identify and explain the difference between the two scenarios, actual and pro
posed.And thus explain why the end goal is more desirable. Why your goal is bett
er if attained, and why you care more about some individuals or processes than t
he others?
5. Tell us what is stopping the status quo from achieving that goal in the first
place. What are the potential deadlocks and barriers?
6. Define the motion and the policy. As to what do you (your team) mean by it/th
em?
7. Help the audience to walk through your steps, to reach the desired goal. As y
ou explain the steps, you need to either irradiate some or all existing steps fr
om the status quo, or put some new steps only, or just enhance the existing step
s to reach the goal.
8. Explain the principle justification. Why it s morally right thing to do, how it
worked in the past, even in other places/cases and thus extrapolate it to show
why it should work here.
9. Explain why the stakeholders have an incentive to follow such policy and how
it would benefit them. How your policy would successfully work?
10. Identify the potential negative criticisms that your case might have and sho
w why that is not true at all or minimal or rather still you would go for it for
the potential benefits.

Drivers of radicalization include moral outrage, disaffection, peer pressure, th

e search for a new identity, and for a sense of meaning, purpose and belonging.
For many it is the experience or perception of living in a 'hostile' society, di
senfranchisement and heightened political consciousness, anti- imperialism and s
ocial justice, emancipation and the personal search to be a good Muslim or the h
eadscarf as liberation, bringing together a constellation of narratives. The vas
t majority of the Muslim populations of Europe are also members of a visible eth
nic minority. Their experiences are therefore likely to be shaped by experiences
such as xenophobia, lower employment and educational levels and, more recently,
Islamophobia.

Scottish Independence:
Reasons
Reasons that have been cited in favour of independence are:
1. Democracy and Self-Detrmination: Will finally elect a more liberal government
2. Nuclear Disarmament which Scotland has been desperate to achieve and which it
could not establish under London
3."It's Scotland's oil": since being used as a highly effective slogan by the SN
P in the 1970s,this phrase has encapsulated the argument that only an independen
t Scotland be able to fully utilise and exploit the financial benefits of its na

tional resources, including North Sea oil and gas, for the benefit of the popula
tion. According to the Scottish Government, 64% of the EU's oil reserves exist i
n Scottish waters,[80] while the David Hume Institute stated: "Scotland is sitti
ng on oil and gas reserves worth up to 4 trillion".
4.Renewable energy: if independence is attained, supporters of the new political
structure seek to fully harness Scotland's natural renewable energy resources:
25 per cent of Europe s wind energy potential; 25 per cent of Europe s tidal energy
potential; and 10 per cent of Europe s wave energy potential.[82] Salmond claims t
hat this could lead to the "re-industrialisation" of Scotland.
5.A "cultural reawakening": groups like National Collective, a "non-party moveme
nt for artists and creatives who support Scottish independence", believe that th
e opportunities of independence, and the possibilities created, would unleash a
fresh wave of cultural ideas, expression and self-confidence in Scotland.
6.Scotland would be a full and independent membr of UN, NATO and the EU. Scotlan
d believes its influence would increase in regard to the defence of its national
interests and promotion of its values
Opposition to independence:
1. Strong cultural,Family and Economic ties to UK
2.Scotland is part of a bigger UK economy
3. Scotland has more influence because it is now part of a larger country.
4. Levels of Public spending in Scotland need to be maintained through higher ta
xes.
5.Scotland has more influence on international affairs and diplomacy, both polit
ically and militarily, as part of NATO, the G8 and as a permanent member of the
UN Security Council. Opponents of further integration of the European Union clai
m that independence, within Europe but outside the EU three, would mean that Sco
tland would be more marginalised because, as a relatively small independent coun
try, Scotland would be unable to resist the demands of larger member nations.
6.Uncertainty that could be brought in the immediate aftermath of independence,
particularly disagreement as to how Scotland would be treated in relation to the
European Union, and the unlikelihood of the UK accepting a currency union with
an independent Scotland.
7.Outlying regions such as Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles will be disadv
antaged or deserve a greater share of oil revenue.
