2021年比赛题目一览

Philosophy
Q1. Are there some subjects about which we should not even ask questions?
Q2. What is slavery? Is jury duty? Is conscription? Is income tax?
Q3. Are you more moral than most people you know? How do you know? Should you strive to be more moral? Why or why not?
Politics
Q1. Discrimination on the basis of race is widely condemned, but on the basis of nationality it is widely accepted. Is it not odd that you may not discriminate against me for where my great-great-grandparents were born, but you may discriminate against me for where my parents were born?
Q2. Should the John Locke Institute change its name?
Q3. Do we need Greta?
Economics
Q1. How would the education sector change if governments were no longer involved?
Q2. There is considerable excess demand for undergraduate places at oxford. The admissions process rations supply by favouring cleverer students at the expense of others. Is this fair? Does it exacerbate inequality? What is the University’s optimal response to this scarcity?
Q3. Should we abolish the minimum wage?
History
Q1. Should we judge those from the past by the standards of today? How will historians in the future judge us?
Q2. Has the ‘construct of gender’ been more beneficial or more harmful to humanity throughout history?
Q3. ‘More history has happened in Oxford, per square foot, than any other place in the world.’ Discuss.
Psychology
Q1. Do we do everything we do to maximise our own utility?
Q2. ‘The function of religions and cults, including the political or ideological ones, is to short-circuit the normal ‘common sense’ process of doubt, investigation, further doubt, further investigation… a belief system only requires a rule book (sacred scripture, Das Kapital, or whatever) and a good memory.’ Is this true? Does it matter?
Q3. Who is responsible for my mental health?
Theology
Q1. Is Christianity a religion of peace?
Q2. Why did Jesus of Nazareth reserve his strongest condemnation for the self-righteous?
Q3. Did God create coronavirus?
Law
Q1. Should ‘innocent until proven guilty’ apply not only to courts of law, but also to public censure?
Q2. To what extent does a codified constitution help or hinder liberty?
Q3. When should force of law prevent a transaction, entered into freely between two competent, consenting adults?
