Debate Workshop on 'Impacting Social Arguments'-2023
Qatar Debate conducted an online workshop on ‘Impacting Social Arguments’ on 4th April 2023 as part of the Ramadan Series Training. DPS-Modern Indian School students Azhar Jaleel Muhammed, Aritra Ghosh, Jereni Cathreen Jeyakaran, Vaidehi Rogiye, Saara Bhardwaj, Gargee Vivek Kanade, Archit Chhikara, Ishant Datta, Krish Nagrani, Sharvi Patwardhan, Aryaman Adhlakha along with their coach Ms. Jaya Majumder participated and engaged themselves in the discussion and shared their unique perspectives on the topics discussed.
The resource person Ms. Amanda Chang taught the debaters about different ways to evaluate society and individuals through immutable and mutable traits that impact our behaviour, outlook, and worldview. Presentations, real-world examples, and exercises were used to delve into how different stakeholders behave, what motivates them and how they impact society on small and larger scales.
The debaters exhaustively learnt about how this is used in debates and the methods for understanding the individuals and societies involved in each debate. They went through several topics from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to how individuals are impacted by society, direct interpersonal relations, and self-thought. The debaters gained valuable experience from this workshop and used several layers of analysis and engagement throughout the workshop and ratified their understanding of this topic.
