Debate is contention in argument; strife, dissension, quarrelling, controversy; especially a formal discussion of subjects before a public assembly or legislature, in Parliament or in any deliberative assembly.
Debate is a method of formally presenting an argument in a disciplined manner. Through logical consistency, factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to the audience are elements in debating, where one side often prevails over the other party by presenting a superior "context" and/or framework of the issue. The outcome of a debate may depend upon consensus or some formal way of reaching a resolution, rather than the objective facts. In a formal debating contest, there are rules for participants to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.
Debating is carried out in assemblies of various types to discuss matters and to make resolutions about action to be taken, often by voting. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. In particular, in parliamentary democracies a legislature debates and decides on new laws. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates that are sometimes held in democracies. Debating is also carried out for educational and recreational purposes, usually associated with educational establishments and debating societies. The major goal of the study of debate as a method or art is to develop the ability to debate rationally from either position with equal ease.
Well Mama, go a tippy tippy toein' through the house
Gotta see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squallin' and a kickin' on the wall
Well, I guess its dropped, its little bottle maybe
Oh Daddy, come a runnin' with the water and a rag
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wonderin' and a waitin'
I know what's the matter with baby?
Oh Mama, rock a baby, Daddy, rock a baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So Mama keep a rockin', Daddy rock a little too
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
Well Mama, tippy toein', Daddy tippy toein' too
Gonna try to do a little sleepin' maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two
Is depending entirely on the baby
Well, I hear the clock a ringin' just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy, go and make a little money maybe
Mama, sleep a little longer but remember while he's gone
Won't you please take care of the baby?
Oh Mama rock a baby, Daddy, rock a baby too
It's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So Mama keep a rockin', Daddy rock a little too
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
And at last it's a sleepin' little baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
After all it's just a little bitty baby
