Dr Rob Henderson | This House Would Respect Our Elders | Cambridge Union

Dr Rob Henderson speaks as third proposition on the motion at 8:00pm in the Debating Chamber on Thursday 23rd November.

Between climate change, Covid restrictions, the housing crisis and more, it has been suggested that today's youth have sacrificed more than they have gained from the intergenerational social contract; are the younger generations justified in putting blame for today's woes on generations past? Or have our elders dealt with the issues of their time and built our society in a manner worthy of accolade?
