podcast about asylums

Today in Human Geo, Mr. Schick began talking about his speech and debate class that he used to teach at John Carroll. I was confused how it related to our class until I realized he was trying to prepare our class for a speech a debate in our class. We began listening to this podcast that Mr. Schick seemed to really enjoy. I found it was interesting and I think next class, Mr. Schick is planning on having us actually go through with this whole speech and debate idea. I'm not sure how it is going to go, I am hoping it goes well. Some key things I got from the podcast were that people were given an asylum if their race, nationality, religion, political views, or social group were challenged. Before class, I barely knew what an asylum was. Now, I know that it is a save place for people that are not safe where they had currently been living.
