Answered 100% Correct
Kritik
philosophical objection to something in the affirmative, the plan will cause something terrible
Link: evidence that if you do the affirmative, something else will happen as a result
Mindset/ Implication: something that says why the mindset is wrong or morally wrong or
something
Types of counterplans:
Agent: keep the same action but change the agent (who does it); example change
from executive branch to judicial branch, etc.
PIC - Plan Inclusive Counterplan: doing some portion of the counterplan but not 100% for a
reason stated
Process: change how its implemented
Advantage: not solving the entire affirmative, but just a particular advantage -- does not need
to be mutually exclusive
Permutation: response to not being mutually exclusive, affirmative proposal that you can do
a plan and a counterplan
, Uniqueness: the disadvantage is already happening, bad events have started based on
some recent event
Counterplan
Three Key Elements:
Text (or its precise language)
Topicality of the plan (whether or not the plan is on the relevant topic/affirms the resolution as
worded)
Competition (crucial to counterplan's success → explains why there's a choice between
affirmative and negative plans)
Can compete in 1 of 2 ways:
Mutual exclusivity: if a plan and counterplan are mutually exclusive, it means you can't do
both at the same time.
Must be mutually exclusive (either/or)
Net benefits (advantage from counterplan that plan doesn't offer): a reason why you
shouldn't do both at the same time
Best Method of Refutation
