I have to take both sides on this topic.

If an absent parent might make a child feel biased to that gender; whether humans are superior to animals; whether a fetus is a person; whether morals are absolute; whether logic is objective; whether beauty is objective; whether religion should be introduced to children.

Just a few I could think of. Hope I helped! Good luck.

I have my english exam coming up and for the life of me I cant think of a topic that would keep people interested and to get others to oppose my topic and create a great debate atmosphere?

Depends. Do you have balls for debate or do you just want to make everyone uncomfortable?

There are topics like:

Should child marriages be legalized as the population is getting older and sperm and egg count is decreasing….

Should marijuana and other highs be legalized….

Should the marriage age of gays be increased as most are confused teenagers….

etc etc.. your not going to get much of a view across but it can be fun to debate.

What are some good light discussion or debate topics?

In English we have to write a argument essay and we get to pick our own topic. I have some debate ideas but they are to heavy for this. They need to be light so you could add humor or a personal experience or something like that to it. The example the teacher gave was should there really be a black Friday shopping spree? It’s quite dangerous.

Any ideas are much appreciated!

Hm. How about school stuff-like school uniforms, lunches, recess for kids (should we have it or take it out) or art/music in schools.

Perhaps violence in the media/video games and why we should leave it in/take it out. Maybe you could cover the rating system and if it’s any good.

Driving? Maybe the legal driving age- or legal drinking age- if it should be lower or higher.
Computers/internet? How much should be used

How about ages kids should/can have cell phones. Or wear makeup or go on dates.

Chores/working? Jobs? you could cover minimum wage or how long teens can work (I think there’s a max/curfew for teens under 17 or something)

How about animal shelters- should animals be euthanize, yay or nay and why?

Is anyone familar with HOSA or good at interpreting debate topics?

this is the topic for my debate: "Health Professions Online: The BEST Solution to Healthcar Workforce Shortage" I’m not quite sure what they are looking for. Can you help me?

Well if you are affirmative you have to debate over why health professions online are a way to solve the heathcare workforce shortage.

If you are on the negative then you have to debate over why it is NOT the best way and find better ways for the shortage.

I hope this is what you wanted.

I need a list of potential debate topics?

I am a member of an online debating site (though not a very successful member lol). I haven’t been very active for a while, but I want to start debating again. Can you all list some topics that I can instigate a debate with? Thanks. Most topics earns 10 points.

How about the economy we are living in?

I joined Youth and Government today, any good ideas for debate topics and bills?

admin — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 03:52:05 +0000

I am new to this club. I joined for two reasons. I need more clubs based on government and my girlfriend joined it. I live in NY and I need debate topics on anything locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. Please, my gf is really into this and I wanna show her I like her, that I’m also interested and know more about government and the world issues overall. Thank you

Debate is not an end in and of itself, it is a necessary step to plan action, The debate club it is to be purposeful and productive should concentrate on issues it can solve and do something about. Here is an idea:

Many tenants are faced with unreasonable demands made by landlords.One of these unreasonable demands commonly made by landlords is the prohibiting of pets in the apartment. The landlord claims property rights to make this ban, however pets are property to even if they have no money value. Pets should have a right to housing just like people, they function as part of the household.

What do you think about pet rights?

I have to write a congressional debate for english and I can not think of a good topic. I am a sophomore in high school so the topic needs to be appropiate for the age group. I have to have some sort of bill or resolution included in the debate as well. thanks!

Best topic and most important = Balanced Budget Amendment ! Definitely worth raising…
