The Enthralling Debate by The CIE 10th Graders!!!!

On September 3^rd, 2013 the 10^th CIE’s first Chairman’s Cup took place. The debate started off with riveting speeches from Ruhitha Reddy and Nitya Mangina (students of class 10 G) that truly set the fire off. They spoke for the topic “The Death Penalty Should is banned.” They argued that innocent people could be given the death sentence due to lack of evidence and that there is a pretty good chance of a murderer framing an innocent person.  Sameer Himati and Varun D. stated that a person wouldn’t face the fate that they deserved for their crimes if the Death Penalty is banned. They also pointed out that it scares people and prevents them from doing any crimes. The moderators, Arun Kumar (X G) and C. Chandana (X H), reviewed the points discussed.

The discussion got really intriguing when Abhiram (of class 10 H) stood up to voice his point of view. There was a fascinating debate between Ruhitha and Abhiram that made everyone really think about the discussion point. The audience also began to speak up and support the two. Abhiram spoke against the topic while Ruhitha debated for the topic. Someone from the audience even put in their views as to what should be done instead of a death penalty to the most horrendous criminals.

Rachana Ma’am judged the debate. Baljeet ma’am, Debjani ma’am, Nagamani ma’am and Siby ma’am were all the teachers present to witness this thought-provoking debate - Reflections by Nishta Reddy, X G, CIE
