Debate is a formal way of communicating, it builds confidence and self-esteem debate is not an undisciplined shouting match and takes place between two teams of trust in a clear vision. The debate is rigid, with both groups arguing over topics that are consistent or contrary to what you believe.

Decided the first the Positive groups to start the debate, and then the first member of the Negative group. This pattern was reserved for the second and third members of the group. Each of the spoken at a set time, with a bell to let them know how much time they had to speak. All debates have to start with the President, Ladies and Gentlemen, members who have an interesting opening speech that was so important.
