We are happy to have you back this week. So far it's been an amazing experience for my team and I and also for all our participants. One more time, I want to thank the steemit team for giving us the opportunity to host this season of steemit challenge. To Debates means to argue about something giving your strong reasons why you agree or disagree therefore convincing your audience to believe you. One of the most popular debate topics I encountered while growing up was "why the boy child is better than the girl child". It was a tug of war between the boys and girls in my class at that time. The class was divided into two; the boys and the girls. We all got our points ready to speak. Can you guess who won? For week 4, We have a little twist for you all, are you ready? Now let's take a look at what we have. This week, we would like our participants to debate or make an argument from the proposed topic given which I have called **Deal or No Deal**. You are to chose one from the three topics below and make an argument. If you are in support of the statement that is seen below your argument should be seen as **Deal** but if you are not in support your argument should be seen as **No Deal** If you are for **Deal** then make your argument in support but if you are for **No Deal** then make your argument against. For example: "Breakfast is the most important meal". If am to write in support of this statement, I would say; "Breakfast is the most important meal". *Deal* Then I would go ahead to write my debate on it. Real life experiences are welcomed as part of your reasons. |![1000080182.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVtZddYd2PQtkuaLp2viJuWPpW9Gx5eCgjFwRBLZn2b9V/1000080182.png)_{[source](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/friendship-trust-shaking-hands-7398105/)}| |---| ### Debate topic * Do you think it is ideal for financial burden of a home to be managed by the husband alone.(Explain your answer by choosing Deal or No Deal) * Should the use of mobile phones be banned in schools?
