This book contains 5 arguments that enable you to tackle a majority of affirmative's on this year's topic from several angles. A comprehensive topicality file includes pre-written violations as well as definitions of every term and word in the resolution. The World Health Organization counterplan utilizes the international authority of the United Nations to tackle public health emergencies and avoids disads to United States action. Two of the disads included in the book function as net benefits to the counterplan: Aid Trade-Off (arguing that increasing funding for the plan will trade off with poverty reduction programs) and China (arguing that American influence in Africa damages US-Chinese relations). The other disad is a separate argument, but one that will likely form a significant part of this year's topic, overpopulation. While the file is written as a disad, it can easily be adapted to become an affirmative advantage or answer population based affirmatives.
