The reason students act this way today is because they are cottled to death, they can never feel a bad feeling or be told they are wrong. As another person already said. Watch debates from the 40 50 60. Ppl had class & pride in what the clothes they wear, had accountability, let others talk and possibly learn from them and didn't disrespect each other.

    Oxford union debates are much higher caliber. These students were so tragically smug. Sad really - it was written all over their faces that they weren't there to engage meaningfully with the topic and perspective in good faith or with any suspension of disbelief. They had made up their minds before they entered the room that they knew both sides of the story already, and their own was the far better. To some degree, it's understandable to be small minded and naive when one is young. However, the mark of wisdom is to realize how little one actually knows - and how complicated the world actually is. This is different than mere ignorance or naivety. When this happens, it becomes far more difficult to laugh off well-read, well-intentioned and well-reasoned people - even if one disagrees with their perspective. I hope that these children one day grow up and out of their tiny inner rings, read a bit more widely, and come to regret their time spent being so sure of themselves. For the time being, however, they are clearly far more interested in impressing one another with sidelong smirks and glances than engaging meaningfully with complex topics.

      The irony in the call to understand our own history is that we really don't but not for the reasons they think. There's not a kid that leave school that wouldn't know about the trans atlantic slave trade or empire but how many would know about magna carta and its significance, how many know about our leading position in principles such as the rule of law, equality under the law, parliamentary democracy, how many know about the anti slavery movement and our role in not only ended the trade in our country but sailing round the world intercepting slave ships and putting pressure on other nations to end the trade, how many would know about even in empire the nuances such as Calvin said the spread of these principles which has made former colonies very very successful, the introduction of roads, hospitals and even Christianity to a degree. How many knows that the slave trade exited everywhere and existed long after the west were unique in abolishing it, how many know that empire is not exclusive to the west and will be able to be grown ups and compare them in terms of brutality and benevolence, how many can actually contextualise history and empathise with people that came before knowing we are no better just happen to be born now?

      @History, etc., I was thinking of that especially while being distracted by childishly disruptive behavior of the Chinese student who was sitting behind him. I hate to be presumptive but the chances are that he landed at Cambridge thanks to his family's CCP (communist party) standing and connections. A standing that in spite of its rhetoric exploits and benefits from the hard labor and miserly pay of the mass workforce which to great extent are still the state's serfs in spite of having been granted in the last 4 decades some semblance of property rights. His comment about slavery in the Roman empire not having a lasting effect just shows the limits of his knowledge (to that of what is in the popular media, controlled by corporate conglomerates). Even after undisguised slavery withered in the lands of the former Roman empire, descendants of slaves were still in a disadvantageous economic, political, and social position not to mention being held back by the psychological scar of a sense of inferiority. Soon after that the chains of serfdom came to replace slavery and, it can be argued, hit affected people harder than the segregationist sharecropper condition that continued to keep blacks in a state of inequality.

    I have watched many of the oxford union debates and as my interest peaked in these student audience debates I have ventured over to the Cambridge union you tube channel. Well what a disappointment. Having not been fortunate enough to attend either of these universities I have always dreamt that one day my children would be able to attend. Believing that these universities were comparable to each other I wouldn't have minded which. The behaviour, attitude and closed mindedness of these students has altered my opinion drastically.

      Not only are they disrespectful , but they don't want to learn , apply critical thinking and they certainly have no knowledge of history . The origins of Human and Democrats rights really began in Britain during the Age of Enlightenment , with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 , John Locke and the 1689 English Bill of Rights .
      All these rights continued evolve in Britain over the next 300 years , and were eventually exported all over the world .
      This is one of the greatest achievements in all of humanity .
      This was the major influence on the US Constitution and the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights .
      Even Japan's 1947 Constitution is based on Britain 's Westminster System .

    There is a huge difference between the audience of the Oxford union vs cambridge union.

    The cambridge union are giggling and talking throughout. They seem to be there to argue rather than to listen to an opinion different to their own. If you are going to invite a speaker to speak, you should be respectful. Otherwise, dont invite them at all.

These brave and bauny Swedes build their farms with their own labor, and if they ever hired others to help them, they paid a fair wage for their day. How is it fair for that side of me to pay anything for sins they never did to descendants of people then never knew? If so, which I don't concede to, how much?
