  2. debate can help me as a student in general citizen because the skills we learn can help us and how much we know that's been going around can also help us because we can't have a debate with knowing nothing as a student I can use these skills and be telling the truth instead of not knowing skills and telling what could not be the truth and what could be a possibility of being the truth.

  3. Debate can help me as a student because it encourages me to look for information instead of being lazy and not knowing anything. It also helps me learn how to look at the facts and get the truth so I don't lie and I actually know what I'm saying. As a general citizen, debate can help me get a point across in a way that won't cause any drama. It will also improve my arguments and speeches. Learning how to do a good speech now, will make my speeches later in life much better. Debate can also help improve social skills. In fact, it requires you to talk in front of people. I think debate can help you in many ways and is a good class to take.

So if you ever have to make a presentation or a speech for your company or for any kind of speech really you will know what your'e doing. Debate can help you be a better writer and could help you with letters and other forms of writing. I think debate is a good class to take because you can choose to learn the skills and apply them to your everyday life.

  7. Debate to me is very important because it involves proving a point. It makes us better students as well as citizens because it teaches us the art of having confidence to express our points of views or opinions. It also makes us better speakers and have the experience to present to an audience. Debate is a skill I really want to acquire

  8. The art of speechcraft can be one of the most valuable skills you can learn as both a student and as a citizen of the public. As a student, knowing and being good at debate and the related fields will help you better accomplish a number of academic tasks, such as writing essays, putting together research papers, and presenting projects. Not to mention the undeniable influence one may exert on your peers as well as your teachers. As a citizen, it will help you understand more of the politics involved in both government and everyday life, so you can make more informed decisions of where to place your votes and your trust. And, of course, debating with someone simply is an inevitability of life. Whether it's a business deal, a legal incident, negotiating with your employer, or simply an argument at a bar, you will eventually one day be glad you learned something from that high school debate class.

  9. Debate helps me as a student by teaching me how to present/communicate my thoughts or ideas in a way that makes sense. It can help you explain why you believe a certain way and why you voted for so and so. Down the road it may help you when you get into legal or financial binds.

  10. Well in debate we have to keep up with current events, thus we know whats going on in the world/country. A lot of people just don't care and don't know about things until someone tells them. Though this sometimes happens in class we know most of the stuff that other people don't. The cool thing about that is we can predict the things that will get a little bit more major.

  11. Because you will always disagree with someone, you need to know how to efficiently prove our point without seeming like you know nothing and you can get your point across. Our world is filled with politics so it's nice to always know where they are coming from.

  17. Debate to me helps with a lot of skills you use in the future. If you have a presentation for work, debate teaches you how to be a skilled speaker and appeal to the audience. If you are in a business meeting, you will know how to communicate and use good body language. All skills acquired from learning to debate.

  18. Debate helps because we need our communication skills in our everyday life. Just to simply convey an idea convincingly requires some effort, and with that it requires practice. Arguments break out all the time with people using meaningless platitudes and being belligerent about things they know little about. If you go into a debate event without knowing anything you will be embarrassed. Debate encourages knowing about things, and also helps you communicate better.
