EP10 | Should YOU Be Forced to Serve Your Country? The Ultimate Debate!

The debate explores the controversial topic of mandatory national service, questioning the necessity and implications of forcing citizens to serve in military, civil, or other capacities.

Team in favor of mandatory national service argues that it strengthens the nation, promotes unity, and instills a sense of responsibility in citizens to contribute to the common good and face future challenges together.

Opposing team argues that mandatory service infringes on personal freedoms and autonomy. They advocate for individual choice and voluntary service, highlighting the risks of forcing citizens into activities they do not support or believe in.

The debate discusses the possibility of a voluntary national service system with incentives to encourage participation without mandating it. The idea is to strike a balance between duty and freedom, allowing individuals to choose how they give back to society.

The conclusion contemplates the dilemma of balancing personal freedom and national duty. It questions whether mandatory national service is necessary or if a voluntary system with incentives can be a better alternative. The debate raises critical questions about the direction society should take in enforcing or encouraging civic engagement.
