Answer 1

Hope this helps...

Debate or debating is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Rules governing debate allow groups and individuals to discuss and decide issues and differences. Debate is an aspect of argument which is distinct from logical argument, in that it encompasses aspects of human persuasion which attempts to appeal to the emotional responses of the audience
Informal debate is a common occurance, but the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts often engage in debates. The outcome of a debate may be decided by voting, by judges, or by some combination of the two. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies.
