A formal discussion about a subject in which two sides present opposing arguments is called a debate. Debates have a set format in which each side gets a certain amount of time to argue for or against the subject. It's a unique feeling to make the perfect case and have everyone in the room cheer you on. The sensation you get when you give the ideal counterargument and silence your opponent—knowing they have nothing to say in response—is indescribable. Excellent student debates are facilitated by engaging college debate themes. There won't be an engaging back-and-forth discussion full of claims and data if the debaters aren't heated about the issue. Finding appropriate discussion topics, however, might be difficult. You need to strike a balance between the interests of your debate team and what you think the public would find interesting.
Do you find the subject interesting? Would the audience watching the debate and your fellow students find the issue interesting? Choosing a topic you are passionate about will both make the argument more dynamic and the preparation phase more engaging.
Selecting a debate topic with strong argumentation potential is important. It will be difficult to construct a compelling argument if there is little information available or if one side is unquestionably correct.
Data points strengthen an argument. It is best to choose a topic that has a wealth of empirical evidence that you can use to support your claims.
