Debate

In the US, when we are in an election year, debate is on our mind.  We think of the skills of a good debater as we watch the televised debates of the Democratic and Republican candidates and decide for ourselves for who to vote.

Debating skills aren’t only important in an election year.  Debating is one of the most vital intellectual skills we have.  We need to know how to debate issues in writing and speaking, in our studies and in our professional careers.  A good debater knows how to look deeply into both sides of any argument and knows how to build an argument for either side of the issue.  Some of the best debaters are able to win arguments for the side that they may not even personally agree with. It is said that it is a wise person who understands well the arguments of the opposition.
