About

Whether you're a novice or pro at the art of debate, this club is for anyone who is interested in participating in mini, low-stakes debate competitions. You'll be randomly placed into teams and given a side to "fight" for or against. Then, you'll be put in a breakout room to discuss with your teammates and research the given topic for 5 minutes before presenting your "argument" to the opposing team.
You'll learn the basics of debate in this series in case you're a beginner; however, we will mostly be doing competitions.
This is not a club to force your views on people or argue with them. This club is for fun only and if you do anything that makes it not fun for someone else you will be withdrawn.

NOTE: I'm looking for judges!! (AKA co-hosts). DM me if interested. Basic knowledge or experience of/in debate is required, you don't need anything crazy though.

Hello! I'm a South Korean 9th grader in Canada and I'm really dumb (but pleeease still let me tutor you my parents said I need to go to Harvard and I work hard I promise 😭) ✏️📚 I like reading and writing (both hobby-wise and academically). In 2024, I read over 200 books (and that's not counting the 187 manga I read). I've also won local (in my city) and school-affiliated awards for creative writing and academic excellence in writing. Also I'm a mod for a book-related subreddit with over 1.3 million members (..yes I'm a redditor >:] 🧠 I'm really interested in neuroscience and psychology. I have a certificate of completion for my local university's college-level introductory course in those subjects and am currently attending the Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities (WASH SRI)'s summer program for computational neuroscience. I'm also self-studying for AP Psychology with the goal of getting a 5. I'm planning on majoring in psychology in college. 🏫 At school, I have straight A's... aside from P.E. and French... ugh... 😖 🤩 Besides reading and writing, some of my hobbies include digital art, watching anime (I'm obsessed with a new character every week... you can usually tell who by my profile picture), reading Webtoon, and crying while watching Alien Stage for the 1000th time (Ivan is alive trust 🙌). Oh, and I really like J-pop! (eve >>>). Also, I'm kind of K-pop hater but alnst songs just hit different (esp Akugetsu's!!) 💕 Okay, time to spread the word 🗣️ Read/watch tgcf, jjk, cherry crush, owari no seraph, bungo stray dogs, alnst, hell's paradise, death note, sweet home, wind breaker, noragami, orv, lookism, teenage mercenary, demon slayer, perfect world, peerless, fence, hooky, aot!!! Trust me on this, k? 🥹
