What is a good debate?
If a proper debate is to add value to a problem that needs a solution then there are minimum standards that we should expect:
• Relevant rational arguments
• Use of reliable evidence
• Being able to convince others of the truths
• An allowance for cross-examination
Outcome
Debating is essentially a tool for decision making.
Once the arguments have been made and the truths have been tested then we should, on balance, be able to make a good decision.
What to Expect
Hone your communication skills and improve your leadership abilities:
• Work in teams rather than as Toastmaster individuals
• Learn to argue points you would not ordinarily agree with
• Think on your feet in order to refute the opposing arguments
• Being able to respond to your own arguments being attacked
• Enhance your active listening skills
• Learn how to focus and respond under pressure and within strict time limits
New Skills
• Constructing persuasive arguments
• Spotting *logical fallacies
• Getting to the heart of issues under discussion
• Winning the arguments while keeping the audience on your side
