Background

The background is that I occasionally have a debate with Luo Huan. We always would not control the center of the topic eventually. So we have both been mad at each other. So I have to learn some necessary skills and principles on how to debate. Not to protect my opinions, only to seek the truth.

For a valid debate and make sure the progress in orderly. There are a few principles that must be followed.

  • Set a clear goal at the beginning of the debate.
  • Focus on the results of the debate, don’t away from it.

  • See what is you want to pursue
  • Distinguish the people who whether is your friend or your opponent
  • Make sure that you really understand the topic before debating
