High School Debate Topic Suggestions

My school is planning a debate competition soon, and I'm part of the organizing team. We're brainstorming for some interesting and engaging debate topics. Any suggestions?

9 months ago

You're doing an excellent job as part of the organizing team. Brainstorming some intriguing debate topics is an important step in the process. I have listed a few debate topics that might interest both the participants and the audience:

1. Should college education be tuition-free?

2. Is social media a boon or a bane?

3. Should animal testing be banned?

4. Do video games promote violent behavior?

5. Is artificial intelligence a threat or an opportunity?

6. Does reality TV promote harmful stereotypes?

7. Should all schools have uniforms?

8. Does the death penalty serve as a deterrent to crime?

9. Should countries prioritize climate change measures over economic development?

10. Should vaccines be mandatory?

11. Is online learning as productive as traditional classroom learning?

12. Should students be allowed to grade their teachers?

13. Are single-gender schools more beneficial than co-ed schools?

Remember, a good debate topic will be controversial, allow both sides to present strong arguments, and engage a good segment of your school community. Good luck with your event!
