A “debate” is a structured form of discussion or argument in which participants present opposing viewpoints on a particular topic or issue. It typically involves a set of rules and formats that guide how the discussion is conducted, including time limits for speaking, the roles of participants (such as moderators), and criteria for evaluating arguments. The purpose of a debate is to explore different perspectives, challenge ideas, and encourage critical thinking and public speaking skills. Debates can occur in various settings, including academic environments, political arenas, and informal gatherings, and can be formal or informal in nature. The focus is often on persuasion, with participants seeking to convince an audience or judges of their position through logical reasoning, evidence, and rhetorical techniques.
