Debates:-
Debate is a structured form of discussion that involves presenting
arguments, counterarguments, and evidence on a specific topic or
proposition. It is a fundamental tool for developing and applying critical
thinking skills. Critical thinking, on the other hand, is the objective
analysis and evaluation of ideas, arguments, and evidence to form a
reasoned judgment. When combined, debate and critical thinking
foster intellectual growth, effective communication, and the ability to
engage with diverse perspectives.
