Debating in class

"Humans are born with an ability to create language" vs "Language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport".
This was the controversia of last week, we were supposed to debate defending one position with arguments and contra arguments. All the debates were very interesting, I could not say which position won in any case because every single group defend they position very well. In my case, I defended the second statement "Language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport". It was a very "hot" debate because each group used they arguments very well and contra argumented with a high quality. In my opinion, I think it was kind of a tie, because we allsow had our bad moments. I think it was a very didactic activity that involved all the class and was very exiting too.
