Kinds of debates

Three kinds of debates:
1. You are sure that you are not going to convince the person you are debating or you just don't care; your only target is the audience.

2. You really want to know other view points and possible short comings of your rationale and find a common ground between you and your debater.

3. You are sure that you are right and are trying to change your debater's mind by appealing to his/her cognitive dissonance.
