	Debate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies.

		The purpose of this contest is to train the student to analyze a problem, conduct thorough and relevant research, and utilize principles of argumentation and advocacy in orally presenting the most effective case for or against a given proposition.
		Debaters then write cases that they present and continue the debate in the form of prepared arguments, spontaneous rebuttals, and cross-examination.
		A good debater must not only study material in support of his own case, but he must also, of course, thoroughly analyze the expected argument of his opponent.

	Music under Soviet rule: The Shostakovich Debate: A Manual for Beginners
		The Shostakovich debate, which concerns the interpretation of the composer's life and music, is, broadly speaking, conducted between two opposing sides: revisionists and anti-revisionists.
		It has become gospel among journalists covering the debate (and among certain of its participants) that it is uniquely acrimonious -- a slanging match which has "raged for twenty years" and in which spectacular insults are incessantly hurled from one side to the other.
		To the extent that this debate can be said to obscure understanding of his music, its continuation is regrettable; yet there are real issues at stake in this discussion, and the debate has shed far more light on the composer's life and work than heat or smoke.

		This paper reviews the history of the MNT debate, analyzes the technical arguments on both sides, then briefly discusses the feasibility and desirability of further research and the potentially disastrous implications of continuing to ignore the possibility of molecular manufacturing.
		For Smalley to urge that debate be terminated at this point is unscientific and irresponsible.

	Legal Affairs Debate Club - Constitution in Exile? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For obscure reasons that we may perhaps glean from this week's debate, the phrase "Constitution in Exile" viscerally appeals to critics of scholars and judges who, like me, favor interpreting the Constitution as amended according to its original meaning.
		However, many originalists, Justice Scalia is among them, would go even slower—tempering their originalism with a commitment to precedent and deference to the settled historical practice of the political branches—but these are matters on which reasonable judges and scholars can and will disagree.
		And I most fervently hope that the debate will not be conducted in a topsy-turvy newspeak that charges originalists with being insufficiently conservative and equates adhering to the rule of law supplied by the Constitution of the United States with activism or radicalism!

		Debate moderator Jim Lehrer asks George W. Bush, "Governor, are you opposed to affirmative action?" Having already given a long, wishy-washy answer, Bush tries once more to avoid taking a stand that might turn off moderate voters: "If affirmative action means quotas, I'm against it.
		This example goes to show that, in presidential debates, the moderator doesn't just referee the proceedings; he or she sets the agenda.
		A 90 minute debate is hardly enough time to cover the breadth and depth of important issues.
