Critical thinking helps me to be a good Debater………

When I was in my high school I used to debate .we’d usually go for tournaments and come with good results but not all the time. Then I came to Malaysia to study in MMU and I found out that there is a debate club joined it. It more fun and interesting and of course more challenging! I guess one can’t really compare the too because the levels are quite different. Anyway, in debate u have to reason in a way that is convincing to the adjudicator and the other team. One interesting thing is u can defend just about anything, as long as u gives good enough reasons.I didn't really get it because I always felt uncomfortable with saying weird reasons and conclusions until I studied critical thinking about arguments. My lecturer showed me how an argument can be valid even though some of the premises or ideas do not really follow learnt how to make my statements more believable and convincing with relevant examples and stories and evidence. Thanks to critical thinking i am now a better debater!
