Summary of Debate
The topic of the second Youth Debate revolved around the effects of social media platforms on family bonds. Youth on the Affirmative Team believed that social media platforms help bring families together, especially within the fast-paced world we live in. Youth on the Competitive team opposed the idea, believing that they create unnecessary distractions especially within the nuclear family. They also added that they believe usage of social media should be regulated and should not disrupt family time. Both teams competed fairly and impressed the panel of judges.
