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.
