Group #1: Should College Athletes Be Paid by Andrew, Francisco and Ivan
There were a few strong points to this presentation that I found to be very persuasive to their argument. First, I had no idea that college athletes were officially employees. That changed my perception entirely. All employees are entitled to some form of security, especially if your mode of work is extremely dangerous and subject to severe injury. Also the fact that many athletes can't obtain proper nutrition is astounding to me considering the mass amounts of profit the NCAA receives per year. A few criticisms I have are that some slides had too much writing on them, and at times the presenters were reading too much. I don't think it was necessary to have the interview script as a slide in the presentation. I think there is a better way to present the information that was obtained from the interviews.
Group #2: Violent Video Games by David, Pavel and Forrest
I think this group did a good job of proving their question true. Knowing that mass murderers testified to using video games as a form of practice for their premeditated murder proves to me that violent video games have a negative effect on the psychology of the individual. I think it would be noteworthy to mention if in any of these incidences, the murderer had a psychological disorder prior to playing video games. That could have strengthened their argument. Their points were clear and concise and it seemed that they had rehearsed well before the presentation.
