Gifted Tongues: High School Debate and Adolescent Culture - Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology
Gary Alan Fine
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.
