Very informative video
Here are my notes:
1. Ponder over the topic before a google search
2. Learn about the current realities of the topic within a country or region and beyond (moving from narrow research to broad)
3. Consider resolution for 3 broad themes (ex- environmental, sociological, legal, political, etc.), come up with 2 arguments each theme and divide the presentation.
4. Support your argument with meaningful content, ex- studies, statistics, facts etc. Create a diverse portfolio of your research
5. Make sure you have a clear logical link between your arguments and content
6. Be mindful about the supporting points the opposition has. Don't make your arguments just a rebuttal against the points of the opposition party (even before the points have been made). Keep those ideas handy for the right time.
7. Come up with fun quotes, puns or anything clever to make your presentation memorable
8. Develop your own style.

If you even knew your face mask "theoretical" argument would not be so theoretical a few years later.... you would have invested in face mask stocks? 😆
