There are many ways to structure a debate There are also different strategies for participating in debates, today, we will look at some of these strategies
a) Be it resolved that existing laws and practices fit our current, new digital environment. b) Be it resolved that the emergence of new technologies brings new ethical norms.
c) Be it resolved that a company should use and/or impose technologies in an underdeveloped country to leap frog its socio-economic development.
and of Debating
DONT let your emotions get the better of you. DO stay calm and speak in a clear, rational voice. Remember, debaters do not always choose what side theyre on.
The first speaker in a debate must make sure that the resolution being debated is clearly stated and defined. DONT side track your opponents with irrelevant points, stay on topic.
DONT attack your opponents. DO stick to your planned, researched arguments. TIPS: Cue cards can help a debater to stay focused, but DONT read from them, use them as a guide.
DO thoroughly research your topic and position, the best start to squashing a rebuttal is a well researched, well designed presentation.
DONT simply state facts:
IMPORTANT
DONT try to juggle too many points at once. State your ideas in a logical order. TIP: the more you practice and plan your speaking, the less nervous you will be.
Any argument that you do not address in a rebuttal will be left in the memory of others as your opponents stated it.
Likewise, any rebuttal from your opponents that you do not address will also be left in the minds of your audience / judges.
DONT work alone and risk being redundant, make the most of your teams time.
DO recycle information in your closing speech. TIP: The closing speaker(s) should sum up all relevant arguments and rebuttals without introducing any new information.
Follow these tips and suggestions, and everything will come together for a successful
