Here are a few more points I think that the reason high school debate keeps going wrong is people have never figured out what its proper function in a democracy is. Instead it's been designed to function as a means of testing how intelligent and hard-working the debaters are. Also, let's remember that we have debates only because our form of government is a democracy and so requires a well-informed public. In countries with non-democratic governments, public debate on social and political issues is generally outlawed.
