AREL is stands for
Assertation – Reasoning – Example – Link. This is very useful not only for
debate but also whenever you make a statement.
ASSERTATION
:
You make your statement.
REASONING
:
You give your correct logic for your statement.
EXAMPLES
:
You introduce one or two examples as demonstration for your logic in practice. (The examples may be real, or they may
be in the form of an analog y). in the context of a debate, examples are the
least important element of an argument. They don’t mean anything without the
logic
LINK
:
You link your arguments back to whatever the overarching theme of your case is
(i.e.: the bigger picture in which your argument is merely trying to convey).
Links are not required for self-obvious arguments.
For example:
This
House Believe That Abortion Should Be Legalized Because of Freedom of Choice
ASSERTATION:
Abortion or the freedom
to abort should be left to the choice of the mother. If a mother feels she is
not ready to provide for a child, if she feels that her life is threatened or
if the baby was the result of rape, then it is fully within her right as an
independent individual of a democratic nation (such as ours) to choose
abortion.
Much opposition to
abortion comes from the religious right, who state that baby’s right to live is
more important than the woman’s right to choose. But we believe that our
personal beliefs should not dictate public policy. In other words, we don’t
agree that small minorities should have the right to impose their belirfs and
their religions on Government, and override the fundamental democratic
principle that is freedom to conscience (thai is, the right to follow one’s own
beliefs in matters of religion and morality).
EXAMPLE:
The landmark case for
abortion I America is Roe V Wade, in which the court ruled in favor of freedom
the choose. This ruling was based on the 9th and the 14th
amendment of the US Constitution, which states that firstly, the state cannot
restrict the liberty of a citizen, and that secondly a person is entitled to a
reservation of his or her rights and this cannot be taken away by individuals
who have rights under the Constitution, in simple terms, the court decided that
woman’s right to choose an abortion is fully preserved under a democratic
Government.
LINK:
And so, given that people have the
rights to choose under our nation’s constitution, we should legalize abortion.
