We must have heard the phrase; 'it is debatable' before. It means that two cases can be created based on this point where both have numerous points worth consideration.
Debating is about having this neat and organized case- your words are ready and your reasons are packed safely. It is about laying out your arguments neatly and presentably.

- It increases critical thinking.
- It solves thousands of problems.

- It, generally, creates hope for the future.
Sounds interesting, right? Let's see next what debate is made of.
