Debating is fun.=)
Most people assume that debate is only useful to those who will take up the study of law as a profession. Thus, they say that it is a waste of time and energy for ordinary people to study, understand, and appreciate debating. However, the clash here is quite simple. Debating is not only reserved for the intellectuals and the nerds nor lawyers or politicians. Its principles should not only be left to those who are studying to become lawyers and jurists. In fact, debating is for everyone since no one is free from the necessity of defending his beliefs or influence others to reject or modify it. Debate is necessary for all who would like to communicate their ideas with clearness and logical cogency. It is an avenue to succeed in influencing others to accept his or her stand and point of view on various matters that make sense at the end of the day. It trains a speaker in quick and accurate thinking because debate develops in them the initiative to rise their positions of leadership by arguing debatable topics. Thus, debating does not only improve ones critical thinking and analysis nor one’s communication and skills but more importantly it brings relevant questions to young minds. In view of this, debate is not just a mere verbal wrangling nor sport or contest but a fundamental and universal art of life.
