Argumentation and Debate: Concepts, Distinctions and Principles Introduction One reason man is considered superior over all other creations is his reasoning power. Nothing, not even the most modern of machines, comes closer to his prowess in oral attack. It is this ability to rationalize that empowers man to set foot in the arena of gallant knights whose shining armors are not swords or shields but argument and evidence. This arena is none other than argumentation and debate in which the warriors who emerge victorious are those armed with a weapon of clear and systematic thinking. Argumentation refers to a form of communication where in a speaker uses a reason-giving discourse in order to seek acceptance of a particular claim advanced by others.

The study of debate is valuable; because it trains men in quick and accurate thinking; because it develops in them the qualities of assurance and self-reliance; because it enables them to rise to positions of leadership among their fellowmen'. 'It is noble,' said Cicero,' to excel man all other animals.' And Disraeli said, 'With words we govern men.'
