A debate is a structured discussion where participants express opposing viewpoints, encouraging critical thinking and dialogue. The term 'despite' highlights the ability to persevere through challenges or unfavorable circumstances. Meanwhile, 'specify' emphasizes the importance of clarity and precision in communication, allowing for detailed discussion of issues. Together, these terms enhance our understanding of effective communication in various contexts.
