The answer can serve as your criterion. For example, on the Aff your case may preserve government legitimacy or preserve some kind of rights. On the Neg you may preserve the rule of law, preserve or government legitimacy. Any of these can be constructed into a value criterion.

This year I have not mentioned sources for definitions because I usually use Merriam-Webster for everything except when I need a more targeted definition. Now I begin with a basic definition and give my own interpretation of the definition. For perceived as awareness gained through the senses, nearly every dictionary will be a source. For perceived as a mental process, it is an interpretation of the definition which defines it as an understanding or belief. I interpret that to mean we understand things by logical processes. I probably was guided in this idea through the definition at <a href="http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/perceived" rel="nofollow">vocabulary.com</a>.James Kellamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983375909180219240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407860233068036900.post-87755545344040061642015-10-09T22:08:51.765-04:002015-10-09T22:08:51.765-04:00If you dont mind me asking, could you please provi...If you dont mind me asking, could you please provide your source for the definition of "perceived"? thank you so much!:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407860233068036900.post-24052285006885575172015-10-05T22:04:59.474-04:002015-10-05T22:04:59.474-04:00I will be posting Aff and Neg positions soon, but ...I will be posting Aff and Neg positions soon, but as I said above the supremacy of the law is at stake.

I separated the words because I wanted to reserve the opportunity to expand the definition of injustice if I so choose. I wanted to articulate the difference between the common use of the word as a value in LD (giving each her do) versus the resolution context which deals more with justice in the sense of upholding or denying one's rights. Granted, the difference is subtle, but the difference may be important in some cases. If you find a definition that suits your needs and is not abusive, go with it.James Kellamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983375909180219240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407860233068036900.post-72971736150176200932015-10-05T19:36:22.747-04:002015-10-05T19:36:22.747-04:00I am confused about how the Aff. and Neg. are diff...I am confused about how the Aff. and Neg. are different on this case.
