Debate or debating is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Rules governing debate allow groups and individuals to discuss and decide issues and differences. Debate is an aspect of argument which is distinct from logical argument, in that it encompasses aspects of human persuasion which appeal to emotional responses —often based on exaggerated or misrepresented statements or claims.

Debate is a common process in deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts. Outcomes of debates may be decided by voting, by judges, or by combination of both. Formal debates between candidates for elected office such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates are common in democracies.

Debate in education


Competitive debate is a competition commonly engaged in at the high school and college level. It is a rule-governed contest with two sides, usually presided by a number of judges. Each side is attempting to win the approval of a designated audience, such as the judges. An important aspect of the study of debate (ie. as a method or art) is the development for the facility to debate from any position —similar to how a lawyer must argue forcefully on behalf of their client, even if the facts are against them.
