       Is Debate Knowledge?
       By: BerserkFalcon Date: February 6, 2015, 3:39 pm

       JamesGames thinks that Debate is Knowledge. I think not. Please
       weigh in on this to settle our dispute.
       I'd like for this to be a discussion only for others besides JG
       and I

       When you debate with someone, you learn stuff. KNOWLEDGE =
       LEARNING.

       What is knowledge? Knowledge is "information,
       understanding, or skill that you get from experience or
       education" (Merriam Webster), "awareness of something- the state
       of being aware of something" (Merriam Webster), "the fact or
       state of knowing; the perception of fact or truth; clear and
       certain mental apprehension" (Dictionary.com), "facts,
       information, and skills acquired by a person through experience
       or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a
       subject" (Google) and "awareness or familiarity gained by
       experience of a fact or situation" (Google). To sum that all up,
       knowledge is an awareness of a fact, true or false.
       What is learning? "The acquisition of knowledge or skills
       through experience, study, or by being taught" (Google), to
       "gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study,
       experience, or being taught" (Google), "become aware of
       (something) by information or from observation" (Google), to
       "commit to memory" (Google), "the activity or process of gaining
       knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or
       experiencing something- the activity of someone who learns"
       (Merriam Webster) and "knowledge acquired by systematic study in
       any field of scholarly application" (Dictionary.com). To sum
       that all up, learning is the process of gaining knowledge
       through experience, books, research, etc.
       Also, do certain definitions look similar to you?
       Information, understanding, or skill that you get from
       experience or education = The acquisition of knowledge or skills
       through experience, study, or by being taught
       There's more; look around.
       Debate is "a formal discussion on a particular topic in a
       public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing
       arguments are put forward" (Google), "argue about (a subject),
       especially in a formal manner" (Google), "a regulated discussion
       of a proposition between two matched sides" (Merriam Webster)
       and "a formal contest in which the affirmative and negative
       sides of a proposition are advocated by opposing speakers"
       (Dictionary.com). To sum that all up, debate is the process of
       collecting knowledge to form constructive arguments against your
       opponent. You need to collect knowledge and learn in order to
       debate. Without knowledge on a subject, you cannot debate it.
       Even now, you are learning by reading this debate. Honestly,
       debate is more similar to learning then it is to knowledge
       because you are collecting knowledge; you are learning. Also,
       people often learn while writing debates.
       That is all, thank you for reading.

       Locking this topic
       1: Incredibly pointless
       2: BF why would you ask that question? How would you engage in
       an argument without knowing anything?
