Lincoln-Douglas Debate Propositions:

1. Hazing is a term used to describe various ritual and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group. Hazing is seen in many different types of groups: including but not limited to gangs, clubs, sports teams, military units, and workplaces and fraternities. In recent news, a FAMU freshman died as a result of serious hazing from his fellow band members. Hazing should be encouraged as a rite of passage for people joining new groups.

2. Teenagers, today, seem to be having more sexual interactions than generations past. Condoms and other birth control should be limited because access to these items lead to irresponsible, dangerous, or bad sexual behavior in teenagers.

3. As our economy travels through a recession, actors and professional athletes should take reduced salaries.

4. Though immigration is on the rise in the United States, English should be the official language in the United States.
