💨 Abstract

The National Speech and Debate Tournament and National High School Ethics Bowl finals showcase two contrasting approaches to debate. While the Speech and Debate Tournament focuses on arguing for assigned positions, the Ethics Bowl encourages teams to explore issues, consider different perspectives, and agree to disagree. Robert Ladenson, who developed the Ethics Bowl, believes it fosters an ethical understanding of an issue by encouraging participants to view the ethical outlooks of others.
