Concluding remarks:

Additionally, debaters often employ rhetorical techniques such as using rhetorical questions,
employing logical fallacies to undermine the opposition's arguments, and appealing to
emotions, ethics, or logical reasoning to strengthen their case.

Effective debating involves constructing well-structured arguments, anticipating and refuting

counterarguments, using credible evidence and examples to support claims, and maintaining
a persuasive and confident delivery throughout the debate.
