Read a random definition: American Arbitration Association

A quick definition of debate:

A debate is when people talk about a topic and give reasons for or against it. They take turns speaking and try to convince others to agree with their side. Sometimes there are rules about how long they can talk or how many people can speak on each side.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Debate is a formal discussion where people express their opinions for or against a motion. It is usually done in a structured way with speeches from both sides.

Examples:

  • Controlled debate: In a controlled debate, a leader from each side manages the discussion and decides how much time each person gets to speak.
  • Extended debate: Sometimes a debate can go on for longer than expected, and this is called an extended debate.
  • Floor debate: When a proposed bill is discussed in front of the entire chamber, it is called a floor debate.
  • Limited debate: Debate can also have restrictions, and this is called limited debate.
  • Pro-con debate: In a pro-con debate, speakers alternate between supporting and opposing a motion.

These examples illustrate how debate can take different forms and have different rules depending on the situation. Debate is an important part of democracy and allows people to express their opinions and make informed decisions.
