Kennedy K

The AWR 1NC

Overview
This is a specially made shell which was designed by me using the same evidence
but cutting new cards. The AR version of the Kennedy k
The basis of this is actually very simple when we remove the jargon. Dont treat the
ocean as a thing to be used but as a living breathing organism which changes and
grows. An entity identity. The alt is to reject the a! to allow for "inclusive debates.#
This is just to treat the ocean as an entity in politics.
The metaphor of a kid with a toy$ the Kennedy k is like a kid with a toy a kid
mistreats a toy because he sees it as a thing to be used for his%her enjoyment. This
causes the kid to abuse e&haust and destroy the ocean. Three things the ocean
cannot handle. 'f perhaps that toy is special to him. The toy gains an identity and
the kid and cares for it. The (uke k
We see the truth as that which is made from language. This
causes us to only view the world through that which is
human or for humans this is false as the ocean is not
human and has an identity outside of human
construction

All of our understandings a#out oceansNall our scienti$c facts religious #eliefs%
myths% laws% and feelingsare the com&osition of a highly com&le'
interaction #etween human minds% #odies and oceans. (et the ideas we
form a#out the oceans are di)erent from the ocean itself and in this
language &lays a &ivotal role. Rorty for e&ample writes$
@e need to ma*e a distinction #etween the claim that the world is out there
and the claim that truth is out there. To say that the world is out there
that is not our creation is to say with common sense that most things in s&ace and time
are the e)ects of causes which do not include human mental states. To say that
truth is not out there is sim&ly to say that where there are no sentences
there is no truth% that sentences are elements of human languages% and
that human languages are human creations. )?L:L E1IM

any accounts we ma*e of nature cannot #e se&arated from their human

Ac*nowledging that oceans do e'ist a&art from human constructions of them
is crucial to the &ossi#ility of ocean &olitics. /f nothing e'ists outside of
language% ocean &olitics #ecomes merely a &rocess of deciding what *ind
of oceans should #e formed to satisfy human &olicies of safe guarding or e&ploiting oceans$
oceans can only ever #e s&o*en for #y humans in accordance with their
&assive identity. ' argue that in working towards just ocean e&istences oceans must #e considered
active &artici&ants in marine environmental dis&utes and &olicy0ma*ing
that sha&e selves% culture and the values of humans. This needs to occur through
pluralistic democratic processes.
