A Personal/Political Case for Debate

Catherine Helen Palczewski University of Northern Iowa

Abstract

ABSTRACT Debate is a civic skill necessary for democracy. Participation in debate is important not only because it teaches habits of advocacy that enable a person to win an argument, but because debate, at its best, teaches us how to lose and, in losing, understand why others act the way they do.
