Why Learn to Debate?

Author: SpeechTraining

Debate is an art, which, through the ages, has been considered the chief means of advancement for those who are engaged in the professions of law and politics; but to assume because of this that it should only be studied by lawyers and politicians would greatly underestimate its value for the ordinary person.

Debate is an art that develops skill in the process of influencing others to accept or reject belief; and, since noone today is ever free from the necessity of defending his or her own beliefs or of influencing others to reject or modify their beliefs, debate, as an art, is not only valuable to lawyers and politicians, but is just as valuable to everyone, whatever their occupations may chance to be.

The study of debate is valuable because it trains people to think quickly and accurately, because it develops the qualities of assurance and self-reliance in them, because it helps them advance in their careers, and because it enables them to become leaders among their peers in every aspect of life.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding lots of content to help you learn how to formally argue and debate. You can access this content from the “Debating” tab at the top of the page, or by clicking though this link.
