- Summary:
-
An unnatural division has been created between two modes of discourse, discussion and debate, even though decisions in the tradition of a democratic society are seldom reached through "pure" debate or "pure" discussion methods. The types of discussion and debate taught and used in competition may not be the only appropriate forms of training students for the reality of democratic dialogue. For example, in forensic tournaments the "pure" form of debate is used almost exclusively and discussion is excluded, being reserved for use in the classroom. Because argumentation is an essential ingredient of discussion, a new forensic event should be created whereby the discourse, called "disbate," would utilize and unite both discussion and debate.
