DEBATE – An Eager Need For PWS.

We Indians start debating where ever we find time, whether it is at a tea stall, crowded bus, train, school, college or workplace. If the person is good at putting his/her points forward, the debate turns into a life change session for everyone participating in it, but if the person is not good at expressing his content, it might turn into an ugly situation.

There is something very unique about the person who is good at debates, as F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the finest novelists says that “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”

Debates help to increase many underrated soft skills like –

Confidence to speak in public and make sense
Construction of a logical statement
The ability to read peoples reactions and body language.
Most importantly, willingness to hear others arguments and to respond to them.

Many leading academicians believe that debate is uniquely suited to build skills required of a modern citizen, including critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.

There is enough research to prove that debaters outperform non-debaters in all aspects of life including competitive exams.

Forbes published its famous article titled: “How To Find The Millennials Who Will Lead your Company” suggesting that ex-debaters are leaders of the future.
