Debate - the formal discussion of a motion before a deliberative body according to the rules of parliamentary procedure
Dear Fellow JSAers,
I’m Komal Trivedi and I am the 2008 – 2009 NJR Parliamentarian.
On behalf of NJR, I would like to welcome you to the NJR blogspot!
Many of us have been very caught up in school. Even though midterms have ended, many still have SATs to take in the Spring. In these stressful times at school, many students turn to fun activities like sports and clubs. In these situations, I would hope many of you turn to spend your time at JSA, as do I.
I think that Junior State of America is an amazing organization that recognizes and acknowledges the talent of many students across the nation. JSA helped many people develop their public speaking, leadership qualities, and bonds with other students that will last for a lifetime.
Debate serves as the foundation of the Junior State of America. Debating is forum for members to not only articulate their ideas in an organized fashion, but to present their idea in a persuasive approach.
Using parliamentary procedure, members develop their public speaking and other attributes. Debating in parliamentary procedure helps people structure their ideas and views in a quicker and concise manner, even during pressured situations. When members debate against each other, members learn to understand that there are different opinions and they learn to respect them. Finally, I believe that debating helps members become more aware of national as well as international political, social, and economic affairs.
I hope members seize the opportunities that JSA provides. For example, I hope to see many of you at Spring Regional. As we enjoy these experiences, I hope that some of us may learn many things.
Hopefully, with this blog, Cabinet will see every member being more excited about JSA than they have ever been before. I hope that many of us try the new debate styles in their meetings. Debate styles can be found here http://www.midatlanticjsa.org/ under Chapter resources.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Komal Trivedi
