In policy debate, a turn is an argument that proves an argument the other side has made is in fact support for one's own side. This is as opposed to a take-out which merely argues that the argument the other team has made is wrong. The turn can be used against virtually any argument that includes a link and impact (or something equivalent), including disadvantages, kritiks, and advantages to the affirmative case. For example, if the negative said "The plan increases poverty," the affirmative could turn with "the plan decreases poverty" or take-out by proving the plan didn't increase poverty. There are four types of turns: *Link Turn *Internal Link Turn *Impact Turn *Straight Turn ==Link turns== Example: If the negative argued the plan would destroy the economy, the affirmative would link turn this argument by arguing that the plan would ''help'' the economy. A link turn requires that the affirmative loses the round, that is whether the disadvantage will occur in the status quo. In the above example, in order to link turn effectively, the affirmative would need to win a ''non-unique'' argument, i.e. that the economy will collapse now. Otherwise, the Negative can ''kick'' the disadvantage, arguing it is a moot issue, by saying that economic collapse will not occur in the status quo, so the prevention of a non-existent event carries no advantage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turn (policy debate)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
