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.

LAPD names its first Islamic chaplain
Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700
Police leaders hope that the new chaplain, who has a history of building bridges between Muslims and law enforcement, can help officers understand his community better. American Muslims have never been much of a presence in the Los Angeles Police Department, accounting for less than 1% of its nearly 10,000 officers.
Live: Warped Tour at the Pomona Fairplex
Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700
It's a case of deja vu as Bad Religion and NOFX headline in Pomona. Sideshow annoyances aside, the marquee names and promising newcomers prove there's plenty to enjoy in the annual punk road show. It's either a testament to the Warped Tour's longevity or a knock on its creativity that Bad Religion and NOFX, the bands headlining this 15th installment of the youth-skewing summer punk rock road show, could have played at any point in the outing's history.
Northern Ireland Protestant paramilitary groups to disarm
Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700
Holdouts Ulster Defense Assn. and the Ulster Volunteer Force say the time has come for peace and that they have decommissioned or will soon all their weapons. Lasting peace in Northern Ireland took another step forward Saturday when major Protestant paramilitary organizations announced that they had decommissioned some or all of their weapons, following a similar move years earlier by the opposing Irish Republican Army.

stephanie winkler Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:37:55 -0000
Reverend BILL GAVENTA (Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities): In every faith community there is a scriptural basis for welcome and hospitality. But you’ve also got congregations who live in cultures where people with disabilities have been hidden and ostracized and devalued in lots of ways, and too often faith communities sanctify prejudices in the community [...]

stephanie winkler Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:30:09 -0000
[media=434] FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Aravind is the world’s largest eye care center, a one-stop shop that even makes many of the lenses and instruments used by its surgeons. It looks like any of India’s high tech centers where rich Indians and medical tourists can get first-world care at third-world prices. The surgical error rate is [...]
