Seeking to understand adolescents as social actors, this work considers the benefits and drawbacks of the debating experience. It analyzes the training of debaters in rapid-fire speech, rules of logical argumentation, the strategic use of evidence, and how this training instills the core values of such American institutions as law and politics.
