1. Wakanda is a small landlocked country in Africa. Million of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the plant life around it. As time passed, The Wakandans used the metal to develop technology that was far more advanced than any other in the existence and a cloaking field to protect themselves. Wakanda is a tribal society, in which fives tribes settled. These fives tribes used to wage wars for the control of Vibranium. After that, one tribe emerged victorious and banded with three other tribes to form a government. Currently, the head of state is passed down in the royal family of the tribe in charge. However, this position can be challenged any time by anyone else from all five tribes in a ritual of physical altercation. By the time of the debate, suppose the world has been made aware of Wakanda's technological advancement and wealth. 2. In this debate, globalism refers to participation in international instituions of power. 3. In this debate, isolationism refers to complete withdrawal from international institutions of power

For the purpose of this debate, Wall-E is a robot made to find an nurture all forms of life. The Earth on which Wall-E lives was utterly destroyed by humanity due to their exploitation of natural resources. After that, humanity fled away in a spaceship. In the absence of humanity, recently, Earth has been purging itself of pollution, and life has been reemerging. Suppose that humanity cannot self-sustain for much longer on the spaceship or find a new habitalbe planet and that Wall-E is the only entity capable of saving them by returning them to Earth

Blockchain is a kind of record-keeping technology which stores data in blocks that it chains together chronologically each time new data is added, creating an ever-expanding link of information that is continuously verified by a vast network of server farms and individual "miners." This peer-to-peer verification keeps the information very secure, but also results in an extremely high electricity consumption to maintain the networks (currently estimated at over 130 Terrawatt hours in a year, or 0.6% of global electricity consumption). A basic purpose of Blockchain is to be able to assign a unique identity to a tradeable piece of digital information, preventing attempts to alter or replicate it (because the peer-to-peer verification system mentioned above would detect such violations). A core use of Blockchain is cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Etherium, which are able to function as a decentralized currency without a central bank or government’s control. The blockchain is used to store a ledger of transactions on each coin, and the verification system keeps in place an artificial scarcity that prevents more from being "printed out." Some other examples include the NFT (Non-Fungible Token) - a way of trading "ownership" of digital art by storing unique links to art pieces in blockchain form - as well as digital collectibles.
