specify the debate topic please...if you have to make one up i would say either birth control/abortion rights, women's rights/feminism, the necessity of the war in iraq, or same-sex marriage/homosexiality...all of which are good topics which could create a nice debate

Here is an excellent web site about logical fallacies...\n\nhttp://www.logicalfallacies.info/\n\nI'll give you a hint -- there is at least one "slippery slope" argument, and a "appeal to consequences" argument. Why not have a read through the logical fallacies info and try this yourself? It's fun and interesting.... and I am quite certain that your instructor expects YOU to do the work, and not copy it from someone else on the internet.

Well, there are two cases to consider. The first is the one you spoke of, when they already believe theirs is the right choice. The second is the case of genuine curiosity, wanting to know what fundamental truths support which argument. In the first case, it could be to try to convert others or simply to reassure onesself that the justifications for other faiths are invalid (although this is from a biased perspective). In the second case, asking a question like this would hopefully bring out strong arguments from many sides. It's interesting to weigh these points against one another.

The statement (which you refer to as a claim) is flawed for the reasons you gave. Your rebuttal was excellently worded, and was logical. But, there is a major flaw with your rebuttal : the people who make the claim are not logical people. The only people who can understand your rebuttal are logical. You will spend your energy preaching to the choir, because the people who make the original claim will not stay and listen to you. It was really nice to read a well-stated post.

It's generally a good idea.  You can more successfully debate an opponent if you already know what he/she's going to argue.  "Know thy enemy" after all...

Now, are there points for asking very good questions?  If so, this one should take the prize! ;-)

guncontrol, Death Penalty, Abortion, The Christmas Vs Happy Holidays debate would be interesting.  \n\nThese are a few things that would work.  In  the paper take the opposing view of that you have, it will make you a more rounded person and more accepting of opposing views if you understand what someone who doesn't agree with.  Also, it helps strengthen your ability. Remember Know your enemy.

First off, let me say that it is great to see that you are interested in discussing scholarly issues with academic professions at your age!\n\nWhen you discuss issues in a formal academic setting or among professionals, it is important to always be respectful and open-minded.  Discuss with the intention of learning something new, rather than trying to impose your views on someone else.  When you are engaged in debate, you should use critical thinking, which consists of 1) empiricism (building a case based on those things that can be verified using our five senses) and 2) logic (which includes making sure you are not overgeneralizing and that you have reduced your assumptions to the smallest number possible).\n\nResearch is not intended to "prove" anything, as some people mistakenly believe.  It is about asking questions about things we are not certain of in order to get possible answers, and this process itself often raises more questions.  For this reason, the exchange of ideas should not involve a clear "winner" or "loser." \n\nInstructors are also "only human" and can make mistakes, but remember that in their particular area, they are basically the experts that have spent their lives engaged in scholarly research.  Remember to thank them for their time!

Current debates in evolution: Science vs. Religion, with special attention to "Intelligent Design".\n\nor\n\n"Iraq - Blood for oil or Defending democracy?\n\nor\n\n"Do Civil Rights include the right to marry, if you are Gay or Lesbian?"\n\nAll three have powerful arguments for and against, and lots of web sites / magazine articles you could cite.\n\n"What I plan to do this summer" would be easy, if the teacher will allow it.\n\n20 pages is a couple of thousand words. You'd better get started!

You have a good argument, and just maybe....

http://www.beliefnet.com\n\nSome of the discussions over there do get pretty heated sometimes, but just ask, as you did above, for a rational discussion. You might end up getting one.

huh? why are you asking? You seem to have pretty good idea already...but don't spend too much time worrying about what other people think. Do what is right for you.

Please give us a little more detail. For example, what government are you talking about? What is your speech trying to prove? What are the criteria? As a general guideline, if you are writing this to persuade, then make sure you have some persuasive elements in you speech. Such as appeals (rational, emotive etc).

I am sorry. Do you have to write an essay or speak in a debate? If it is a debate you should have POINTS that you will use, not written out speeches, or you will be lost if the other person makes a point that you did not write out in your speech.\n\nImran
