Group Debates Analysis Paper

I have been a part of both one on one debates and a part of group debates as well. I prefer a group debate rather than a one on one argument. Both one on one debates as well as group debates have their own benefits and drawbacks.

An interruption that provides you with some information that you are not ready for and may contradict your own argument can be harmful to your proposals.
