The Debate Culture
In the United States, it has become customary for every election that presidential candidates have a debate on why they should become the president. Just like in the US presidential elections, debaters who are joining our Debate Series will go head-to-head with their distinct stand for each topic, moderated by a selected neutral party.This format allows us to see how arguments are clearly debated and points clearly made on each and every topic. With only one debater on each stand, we will be able to see which party makes the best argument within the two.
The Debate Culture: Workshop
The Debate Culture workshop is part of a workshop series we are organizing with various other universities across Malaysia. The workshop is targeted to newcomer as we are discussing the basics of what is important in debating, the content, techniques and delivery.
The Debate Culture: Presidential Debate
The Debate Culture: Presidential Debate is designed to promote student-centered interactions in enhancing the awareness of political rights and civil liberties in Malaysia. Other than that, it is also meant to provide a platform for an earnest and intelligent discourse for the Malaysian youth with regards to the pressing issues facing the nation such as youth political participation in Malaysia and also the role of the youth movement in nation-building exercises in Malaysia. This platform is created to also harness the debating skills of the students who took part in our previous workshops.
