DEBATE - WESTERN INFLUENCE ON INDIAN CULTURE

..chance to identify & improve our language skills..




On 22 August 2019 we conducted a debate in our classroom on the topic "Whether western influence on Indian culture boon or curse ". For and against was assigned to two groups. We were given  two days to think, research, analyse and plan our session.

The debate started in a slowpace but later it ended after two hours with hot arguments. Both teams expresses there ideas and facts with proves. Teacher was there to maintain a controlled, friendly environment.

I was in the first group which support the influence of western culture in Indian culture as a boon. We made our points clear. The second team was little afraid at the beginning, but they catch up with us easily. The active participants were Me, Lakshmi, Athira Sreekumar, Mary Jaya, Keerthi, Aavani, Balu. But everyone in the class had participated.

From this debate, we were able to make class more lively. It helped us to partially overcome our inhibition to speak and improved our listening, speaking, writing and reading skills. We also understood that we have to improve our language skills more with the help of these kind of activities. At the end teacher appreciated us for our efforts. This session really made us happy and we enjoyed it well.
