SPEERM

A debate mnemonic, used to remember the basic headings to create points for argument.

Usually said as "sperm squared".

In general, a good debate should include a point that falls under each of as many SPEERM categories as possible.

S = social
P = political
E = economic
E = environmental
R = religious
M = moral
