Just Society Specification NC Shell**Interpretation: The words Just Society are subjective. The words Just Society are too ambiguous to be accurate literature.

A idea of a just society is of course a very political notion: in fact, deep social unrest, turmoil and revolutions have occurred with the objective to arrive atsuch a society. Defining what such a society is and how it is achieved and maintained, is simultaneously a collective and individual endeavor.**Violation: The aff has yet to specify any idea of location, or even an agent, its pretty obvious, they just said the resolution just society with no form of clarification. **Standards: Failure to specify this information destroys negative ground. I have a few sub points. Sub Point A- The Aff can change what they meant in the 1ar, makes all my agent and location based disads pointless, this kills my research initiative makes certain planks of debate pointless for me.Sub Point B- Ruins limits, tons and tons of contentions, arguments etc the aff can bring into the debate, makes the topic literally impossible for the neg to prepare as the neg has to answer and talk about the aff.Sub Point C: Failure to grant this specification creates a bottleneck in the debate conversation.

What leads to society being more and more unjust in a seemingly irreversible fashion? To start with, democratic deficits, weak accountability structures and unrepresentative political systems often lead to bottlenecks for citizen participation in the public sphere. Such accountability issues need to be addressed. If they are left ignored, social divisions can rise and a society can become extremely polarized.

Voters: Aspec is a voting issue, evaluate aspec when casting your vote. A vote for the aff is vote for in round abuse. Vote neg instead.

**AT Arguments**AT Topic Education1. Specification key I couldnt prepare my nc strategy until after the cross-x this hurts neg prep and prevents good negative strategies because it influences my DAs, Ks and case arguments2. Cant access topic education if we cant read about the way implementation goes down. 3. Implementation is 90% of policy decisionsElmore, Univ Wash, 80 (Political Science Quarterly 79-80, p. 605)The emergence of implementation as a subject for policy analysis coincides closely with the discover by policy analysts that decisions are not self-executing. Analysis of policy choices matters very little if the mechanism for implementating those choices is poorly understood. In answering the question, What percentage of the work of achieving a desired governmental action is done when the preferred analytic alternative has been identified? Allison estimated that, in the normal case, it was about 1- percent, leaving the remaining 90 percent in the realm of implementation.

AT Normal Means1. Makes aff conditional allows the aff to change their agent in the 1ar based off of a card debate. Cross apple the textual competition debate. Also allows them to moot our strategies with one card. This also makes them not topical because resolved means a firm decision according to Orans Dictionary of Law in 91, which is an independent voting issue.2. TURN: Hurts the neg more this forces me to read solvency cards for them to clarify the aff, causing a nc time skew.3. Side bias With the affs infinite prep time, they can out research a neg on different ways their aff can occur, tilting the balances too far since they also have first and last speeches.5. aff clarification is a voting issue shouldve told us what a just society means before hand they moot all of the NC.

**1NR blocks (solvency addons etc)**Fairness FirstFairness trumps education All of their offensive arguments are about education but fairness is a prerequisite for education. If we dont have fair debates, neither side will be able to clash with the other preventing education. Also, if there isnt fairness for both sides than people will quit debate and do some other game that is more fair. If we win one of our reasons why the aff justifies an unfair practice, than you should vote for us.
