You know there are argument happened in every where, every time in this world, and form the debate unit i learned how to mange each kind of argument in social life.
First you need to know, things you support don’t need to be “right”, sometime you will need to devil's advacate , it means that you need to turn people’s thought into the way you want ,and make things you support credible.
Secondly if you want others to trust you, you will need examples, you will need research for it, but you might ask , the argument we have are emergencies we won’t have time to prepare for it ,i will say that’s why we should read more during our daily life , to prepare for these emergencies.
At last, i also want to say, during the debate unit i learn not only debate skills but also some very useful hint for life, for example ,during the debate never said “i disagree””you are wrong”,i think it teach us to be polite to everyone even our enemy。
During the debate unit, i have learned a lot , i think i have spend a worthy time on it.
