Without debate, I would never have known that Frank B. Wilderson is a great figure in fighting modern racism or that capitalism had so many flaws.

We were required to produce an argument in favour of either the plaintiff or defendant regarding an area of law. The debate was assessed in three sections which included delivering an oral argument, producing a written outline of our argument and working effectively as a team. My group, which consisting of three members, argued in favour of the defendant in relation to two areas of law

For as long as I can remember debating has been prominent in my life full of oppression and constant discrimination.

My novel on the subject of the end of summer school debate has lost its share of pages but the back-cover synopsis, the essence of the entire experience, is still with me. “We are about to begin our annual debating tournament,” the instructor beamed with an enthusiasm that let each of us know how happy he was that we had made it this far. “It will be the culmination of your six weeks of learning and will count as a considerable part of your grade for the
On June 13th, I participated in a Young Debaters Program with other students from our school competing against various junior high schools in a debate contest. I arrived too early, was wearing a far too casual dress, and was walking in extremely painful shoes. I had butterflies in my stomach and I felt terrible. The debate was absolutely awful, but the experiences I had with my friends during and after the debate were some of the most memorable occurrences of my 7th grade year. I clearly remember
Candy, it tastes good but it is bad for the teeth. Medicine, it tastes horrible but it does good for the body. Both items show off good and bad features. The clubs in Centennial Christian School, or CCS for short, also have their good and bad. Using rhetorical strategies it is evident that there are flaws in these clubs but the students and teachers are able to overcome using theirs strengths. It is the students that make up the clubs and not the clubs themselves because of the background CCS carries

I characterize myself as someone who is hungry to effect change, not just to the world, but in the way people look at the world. My experiences have guided me to the conclusion that my prime interest lies in Engineering. One of my earliest memories is of my grandfather calling out “Let’s fix this”.

What made an athlete feel as though he was above the rest of his university, and what are the possible implications of this train of thought? College is presented as an opportunity to further education, but it seems to be presented to athletes a bit differently, as

According to a study conducted by experts from the University of Southern California and Purdue University, statistics show 95% of television coverage is focused on men’s sports (Cooky et al.).
