About this listen

Healthy debate is integral to society. A democracy can only thrive when its citizens engage in open and honest dialogue. In Why Debate: Transformed by Academic Discourse, Shawn F. Briscoe and a diverse group of individuals introduce readers to academic, competitive debate in our secondary schools and institutions of higher learning. Over the course of twenty chapters, the authors examine the role academic debate plays in relationships, academic achievement, careers, professional life, and engaged citizenship. The authors highlight the significance the activity has, not just on those who engage in it, but upon people everywhere. Competitive debate serves as a foundation for growth as students learn to navigate through society, form relationships, and develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. Those who participate in the activity develop skills and dispositions that help them succeed in their chosen professions. Ultimately, debate makes people aware of what needs changed in the world and gives them the ability to effect meaningful change. The author provides two additional resources at the end of the book for those who are not familiar with the activity, have been away from the activity for several years, or simply wish to learn more about academic debate. First, the author provides a description of various debate organizations with links to their websites. Second, the author provides a glossary of debate terms used by the contributors. A minimum of 50% of the profits from this work will be used to support debaters, debate programs, and/or debate organizations. Education Words, Language & Grammar
