Hey everyone, I've only just started posting in life but you all seem to be quite intelligent so I thought I'd ask for some help. I have recently signed up to participate in a debating competition. I will actually be representing my school however I have never even taken part in an official debate before in my life.
I have until the 3rd of November to prepare but I amn't even at school due to holidays until not this Tuesday but Next. However I do know that the topic of debate will be "This house would ban reality TV shows" and our time has been assigned the task of opposing this motion. In essence we want to keep them going. Anyway I say team...well it's just me and an American guy who just moved to our school last month and although he's argumentative he's not exactly reasonable. He seems to think everything is either right or wrong but if it was as simple as being right or wrong we wouldn't have to debate.
Anyway I was wondering if any of you could give me some help in preparing? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Right mate you want to make bullet pointed notes that you can capably expand on.
Argue that:
- reality tv gives an otherwise obstructed insight into different walks of life
- Increases knowledge on general subject matter (eg "celebrity get me out of here" increased knowledge of junbgle survival)
- It keeps people in jobs
- It paves the way for other things ie Big Brother winner Kate Lawler presents RISE on channel 4 now.
Good luck and be confident.
