What comes to mind when you think of a debate? You're probably seeing two people who don't agree with each other are presenting arguments and making refutations, hopefully coming to a consensus. Well, the National Speech and Debate Association has recently identified a problem within their debates. On a topic about civil disobedience, apparently students were coming across other students who didn't share the same views as them. The reason I do debate,

is because I enjoy hearing different points of views. It helped me grow as a person. It's the reason why I'm able to hold stable conversations without getting upset whenever someone brings up a point of view I don't agree with. See, what the National Speech and Debate Association is doing is they're not only ruining high school debates, but they're setting up their students for failure. Because in the real world, whether it be in the workplace or at a family dinner,

You're going to have to have conversations with people who don't agree with you. The world is not an echo chamber. That is right. That is exactly right. The world is not an echo chamber. Oh, nailed it. The world is not an echo chamber. And anytime, whether it be the National Speech and Debate Association, or if we're doing it to ourselves.

If we stick ourselves within an echo chamber, we are doing ourselves a huge disservice. We are setting ourselves up for failure. We have to listen to other points of view. We have to be able to have a civil conversation with those people with whom we disagree.

Is that simple...
