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?

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.

Dear sir @sahmie .
According to the rules of your post, it was mentioned about the deadline for submitting posts:

The contest is open to participants till 23:59 UTC, Thursday 1st August. At which it comes to an end, meaning all entries after that will be counted as invalid.

For the Contest: The Debate (Week 38); Practical or Theory, which impact to life more?

I apologize in advance if I make any mistakes. If I'm not mistaken, the person you first selected submitted their post after the deadline as per the rules. Yet you selected them as the first choice. I would be very grateful if you could explain this reason."

You're very correct. I noticed after I've sent out the Steem Power, but then don't worry as I've something in stock for you. Hope it makes you happy too. I'm very sorry for that mix up. Please forgive me.

No worries at all! Mistakes are a part of life, and it's the thought that counts. I really appreciate your kindness and generosity. Looking forward to what you have in store, and thank you for being so considerate!

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.

Wonderful man, just wonderful. Every time I open "the debate" I find a very griping topic. So creative, so captivating and commendable work from you. This is such a thing which helps to enhance the critical thinking. Thank you for conducting this amazing series of contests.
