Contest: The Debate (Week 39); Pen or Sword, who's mightier?

Hey there, are you ready for an exciting contest where you get to debate and decide between two options? Get ready to showcase your persuasive skills and convince me why your choice is better.

A debate is a discussion or argument where people present their opinions, arguments, and evidence on a specific topic. It's like a friendly battle of words where each side tries to convince a judge that their viewpoint is the stronger one.

It's a great way to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from different perspectives. Hence, this contest is based on this idea.

The Contest

It's all about presenting your arguments, giving us your opinions, and perspectives, and having a friendly debate.

For the contest, I will be giving you two options for you to convince me of the better one and why you think your option is better. So are you ready? If yes, let the "this or that" contest begin.

Your Debate for this week

PEN VS SWORD

"The Pen is mightier than a Sword", this is an expression that is familiar to everyone, but then do you really agree that a mere pen is mightier than a Sword used for slaying?

Therefore, I would like you to share your opinion on this discussion and explore the factors that make one stand out over the other for you using the guidelines below.

• What is your understanding of the statement "The pen is mightier than the sword"

• Can words be more influential than actions?

• When is diplomacy more effective than force?

• Is a balance between words and actions necessary?

• How has technology impacted this debate today?
