My argument will comprise of four main points: the joy they bring, the protection to endangered species they offer, their benefits to society, and their rightful place in society. Simply put, zoos create memories. There is nothing more fascinating to children, adolescents, and adults alike than to see a variety of exotic and familiar animals. With visitations to zoos comes multifarious benefits, including revenue and traffic. However, perhaps the most significant benefit is the information it provides. With this information, people are more like to respect the environment and seek a stable and healthy ecosystem. Therefore, it is only logical to keep this very important component of society around for generations to come. http://www.debate.org/debates/Zoos-should-be-indefinitely-banned./1/comments/ 2012-04-28T23:15:40-08:00 http://www.debate.org/debates/Should-a-universal-language-be-implemented-which-every-student-should-have-to-learn/1/ (Post Voting Period) Should a universal language be implemented? The simple answer is no. Although the idea looks good on paper, it would be almost impossible to implement and would cause more harm than good. Universal languages have been created in the past, but failed. Thus, with little scrutiny it is evident that cultures around the world should keep their own distinct languages, rather than conforming to a single one. http://www.debate.org/debates/Should-a-universal-language-be-implemented-which-every-student-should-have-to-learn/1/comments/ 2012-04-28T01:38:52-08:00 http://www.debate.org/debates/Should-children-be-forced-to-wear-helmets-by-law-while-riding-bicycles./1/ (Post Voting Period) First round is acceptance.
