During Geography, we had a debate based between two groups: against or for drilling more oil. I think the debate really was a success, except for the fact that some people are just too competitive. These few people argues too much, even though they are bringing more topics in for debating, but they are also making the rest of the group less talkative. Because of that, only their opinion are spread and that few others’ were actually spoken. The silent debate was a little bit better because everyone could talk, but there were those who wrote too much and disrupted everyone else. Someone was even Rick Roll’d during the debate.
So in the end, I think the silent debate was better. I’d rather be Rick Roll’d than not being able to speak my mind and share my thoughts.
After the debate, I still stick with my thoughts before. We should reduce the amount of oil drilling right now, not that I’m saying we should stop. But we should slowly change to another source of energy where it is abundant or renewable or maybe even unlimited. Thermal energy, wind power, water currents, etc… If we change to use these resources, it will lessens the effects on the ozone layer unlike oil, and we will have much more to use so no more conflicts would be started over some oil mines.
