![In public speaking, as in any form of communication, there are five basic elements, often expressed as "who is saying what to whom using what medium with what effects?"

![Debating can be interpreted as a display of ones confidence and in some cases assumed as arrogance which may lead listeners to believe or not to believe in what the debater is saying.Wikipedia’s website provides the following information: Debate is a method of interactive and representational argument. Debate is a broader form of argument than deductive reasoning, which only examines whether a conclusion is a consequence of premises, and factual argument, which only examines what is or isn't the case, or rhetoric, which is a technique of persuasion. Though logical consistency, factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to the audience are important elements of the art of persuasion, in debating, one side often prevails over the other side by presenting a superior "context" and/or framework of the issue, which is far more subtle and strategic. The outcome of a debate depends upon consensus or some formal way of reaching a resolution, rather than the objective facts as such. In a formal debating contest, there are rules for participants to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.Debating is commonly carried out in many assemblies of various types to discuss matters and to make resolutions about action to be taken, often by a vote. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. In particular, in parliamentary democracies a legislature debates and decides on new laws. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential elect following informarion as a method or art is to develop the ability to debate rationally from either position with equal ease.Although informal debate is a common occurrence, the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters.

It’s springtime in America and across the country schools and community groups are providing challenging and entertaining events and activities for its students and residents to get involve as participants or spectators in keeping abreast of the ever evolving cultures in the United States.
Focusing in on Palm Beach County School District, a group of schools have collaborated to present an evening of entertainment full of talent, enchantment and delight. Dance students throughout the county will take center stage in a tribute concert on April 6, 2013 at the Bak Mainstage Theatre. U. B. Kinsey/Palmview Elementary, Plumosa Elementary, Bak Middle of the Arts, Okeeheelee Middle, Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, Boynton Beach High and Wellington High will join forces to present “Young Dancers in Concert.”
The concert is in honor of Joan Miller for her contributions over the last 50 years to dance in Palm Beach County. Tickets are $5 and are available at seatyourself.biz/bakdance. Proceeds benefit dance in the public schools.
When it comes to challenging achievements in speech and debating competitions, Palm Beach County schools are not just winners, but champions among their peers in other Florida schools and schools across the USA.
The Suncoast High School Debate Team is continuing its winning tradition. “The Suncoast Debate Team is having a terrific year,” said Suncoast Speech and Debate coach Traci Lowe. The team competed at the University of Pennsylvania Liberty Bell Classic in February and dominated in Student Congress. Vishal Harpalani placed 1st, Kayla Morton was 3rd, Luke Longhofer was 4th, Michael Beer was 5th and Jacob Beer was 6th. Jessie Wang also made her team proud by placing 5th in Oral Interpretation.
On March 9, they continued their successful year by qualifying twelve students to the 2013 National Catholic Forensic League National Tournament that will be held in Philadelphia during Memorial Day weekend. The students placed in various events where they had to debate a monthly resolution, interpret poetry, write an original speech on a social issue or debate legislation. Kayla Morton, Michael Beer and Vishal Harpalani qualified in Student Congress, Liam Fineman in Dramatic Performance, Imani Murph and Emily Bocchino in Original Oratory, Gerald Djajaputra in Extemporaneous Speaking, Cyrille Unico and Ali Younis in Oral Interpretation, Brian Callahan and Shamshad Ali in Public Forum Debate and Anugya Sood in Lincoln Douglas Debate.

Continuing on with perfection in speech and debating in the Palm Beach County School District, we find Royal Palm Beach High’s speech and debate teams are heading to Nationals. The Royal Palm Beach High School‘s speech and debate team competed in the National Forensic League Panther District Finals that took place at Royal Palm Beach High School. This tournament qualifies the top three in each event to the NFL National Championship Tournament Competition which takes place this year in Birmingham, AL.
The tournament features the top competitors from Palm Beach, Martin, Brevard and Orange counties. Royal Palm Beach High School qualified for nationals in dramatic interpretation and international extemporaneous speaking categories.
“I am beyond proud of how my students performed, said Mr. Eric Jeraci, the Director of Forensics at RPBHS. Not only did I have three students that qualified for nationals, but we also had students in five different finals rounds. The team set another milestone, making us yet again one of the top teams in the nation.”
Anthony Nadeau and Delisa Stephenson qualified in Dramatic Interpretation taking 1st and 2nd Place and Timothy Deaver qualified in International Extemporaneous Speaking taking 1st place. The following students were also recognized: Gabriella Garza and Nikita Grant (2nd Alternates in Duo Interpretation) and Hannah Locop (2nd Alternate in Original Oratory).
Palm Beach County is the place to observe and acknowledge a demonstration of talent and achievement whether in the arts or academics. Salute to all for their accomplishments of success.
