Description

This debate will be weighing the pros and cons of philosophy as a subject for students. As the pro in this debate I will attempt to prove the merit of philosophy and why it should become mandatory, while the con will argue that philosophy should not become a mandatory subject for students. I look forward to this debate and feel free to put forth questions in the first round, be it about definitions or judging criteria. We will present our actual arguments starting round 2.
