IMPORTANCE OF DEBATE COMPETITION



IMPORTANCE OF DEBATE COMPETITION



It is said that “For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate.”
Debate is the way of presenting our thought and information in front of people who may or may not agree with our perspective. Debate is not about winning the argument, but about discussion of all aspects of a problem. Debate and mooting leads to innovative solutions. Debating allows students to develop many skills such as public speaking, listening carefully, presenting thoughts in an effective manner. It also forces them to look at an issue from multiple angles, thereby improving their knowledge base.
Thus in order to develop skills and to foster a healthy competitive environment, the Debate Club of Christ Institute of Management organized an Intra-College Debate Competition on 9th September, 2016. The four houses of the institute contested against each other on topics such as Globalization and Capital Punishment.  It was evident that students had a lot say and that each tried their best to put forth new and fresh perspective on the topics. Each house was represented by a team of four students, out of which six best performers were selected by the panel of judges for the Speech Round.
The Speech round required the selected students to speak for at least 5 minutes on a randomly selected topic. The topics chosen varied greatly in range; from Reliance Jio to Juvenile Justice Act, 2016. The Judges declared the winners after evaluating their speeches on content, relevance and effectiveness. The winners were Shashank, Jason Joseph and Mehul Rajvanshi, securing first, second and third places respectively.
