Rather than approach debate primarily as a form of interscholastic
competition, this unique book identifies it as an activity that
occurs in many settings: scientific conferences, newspaper op-ed
pages, classrooms, courts of law, and everyday domestic life.
Debate is discussed as an integral part of academic inquiry in all
disciplines. As in all fields of study, various competing views are
advanced and supported; Debate and Critical Analysis is designed to
better prepare the student to assess and engage them. This text
posits four characteristics of true debate -- argument development,
clash, extension, and perspective -- which form the basic structure
of the book. Each concept or aspect of argument covered is
illustrated by an example drawn from contemporary or historical
sources, allowing the reader to actually see the techniques and
strategies at work. All popular forms of competitive debate,
including "policy," "Lincoln-Douglas," "value-oriented," and
"parliamentary," are discussed in detail -- as embedded in the
actual topical controversies with which they are concerned. In this
way, the student can learn the structures, reasoning processes, and
strategies that may be employed, as well as the practical affairs
of debating, from brief-writing to the flowsheet.
