Debate is Our Daily Life

Debate or debating is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Debate is a broader form of argument than logical argument, since it includes persuasion which appeals to the emotional responses of an audience, and rules enabling people to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.

Informal debate is a common occurrence, but the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. The outcome of a debate may be decided by audience vote, by judges, or by some combination of the two. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies.

Based on article above, we can't deny, even if we are a peasant or politician, that we will eventually do debate with other people, known or newly recognized, even in simple matters. For example, if you are not agree with your mother's decision about your monthly money's amount, you will debate it with delivering your reasons that you need more money for daily needs, etc. Even if you're not meet other people, you sometime debate with your heart about moral thing, whether what you done is right or wrong.

Debating is beneficial, by debating with others we will broaden our view and know many different perception of one problem, we also can share our experience with others and improve our social skills. Structured debate will end up in good ending but not with debate that is not supported with logical reason. Look the politician in Indonesia, they often fight after long debate about some government plan, in Nusa Tenggara for example, because they debate with not good reasons and logics, which is bad for both sides. Imagine if there is no debate in this world, there will be different law for different people with different perception, very annoying world. Debate is incontrovertible things in our life, maybe before you read this blog you have done a debate with your friends, who knows.

ITB? Why Not?

Many reasons supported me to choose ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology) as my college, but then I can classified it into four main reasons. First reason is because ITB was being my dream since I was in Junior High School, I had strengthen my will to study in ITB since I was 13 years old. Second reason is financial risk-free, my dilemma is choosing ITB and NTU (Nanyang Technological University), by choosing ITB there will be less money needed due to the fees and reduced daily cost. Next reason is ITB becomes Indonesian Best Technical Institutes based on not only my opinion but also many people', which encouraged me to enter it. Last supporting reason, ITB is located in my hometown itself, Bandung, which lessen my adaptation because I have been living in Bandung for about 12 years, makes my conditioning into new system easier.

2nd Draft

I love playing "Vandaria Wars", one of many Trading-Card Games, for four reasons. First, I love its gameplay. Its gameplay is different from the other TCG that attract me to play. Secondly, I love playing "Vandaria Wars" because in "Vandaria Wars" we are not only need luck to win but also logic and strategy, its developed my logic as well as make myself more critical. The next reason is that I can meet new and different people with different background and point of view that will increase my soft skills and make me have a lot of friends, I can also socialize with other people in the community. Last but not least, its illustration, its illustration are so good that won't make me feel boring to see and play the cards. Well, those are the reasons why I love playing TCG.
