Debate Contest


A debate is a formal contest of argumentation in which two opposing teams defend and attack a given proposition. It is a persuasive manner of speaking with the aim of converting the view of another person, or an audience, to your own point of view. In this speech, the speaker speaks either for or against the topic being discussed and the interjectors questions the speakers.

The core idea of a debate is to examine every side of important and controversial issues in an atmosphere of reasoned argument and respectful discourse. A few benefits that accrue because of participating in debates are rigorous and critical thinking; academic skills; mental and emotional maturity; and academic and occupational achievement.
