Subject: DX v FX Author: MikeKnight.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:47:28 01/01/02 Tue hey, i was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on which is better DX or FX? After printing off articles for an hour on DX crap (because MBA is mixed this weekend) I yet again realized that FX is far superior to DX. All the reasons are implied in the names of the categories. FOREIGN and DOMESTIC. Inherently, foreign events are more interesting and challenging to analyze than domestic events. IN foreign extemp, you not only need to know the relationship between the Senate, the US President, and other nations, you need to know great deals about NGOs and multinational corportations. DX topics are incredibly limited: US Foreign Policy, Social Secuity, Election Reform, Health System, Crime, and the ever so broad "Politics." (note:: i don't mention economy, because I have had several US economy questions in FX rounds ie the impact of US recession on EU, etc). These are a few reasons; I'm going to file now and don't have the time, nor the will power to fully explain why FX is better. So you can argue with me now, or extend my arguments for me (cough) Melody (cough) Sibo. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
