Abstract

Television debate: the technique of dispute Debates have an old history, counting from Greek civilization to these days. In television we see different debates. But the same dimension – search of truth – is still important thing. Like our capabilities to express the truth have changed by the birth of every new technology of communication, the truth telling in television by debates have changed to. In antiquity times an argue was the most important instrument to find the true. Politics, judges, soldiery learned how to debate in public ant to prove his true, by using arguments and oratory. Every oratory speaker had to follow the rules of arguing. Television debates use only the rules, which help to please audience. In medieval times arguing becomes a part of science. Speakers are not trying to find the true, but to prove that your propositions are the true. These rules intercept television debates. Television argues don't have the same lineaments like antiquity or medieval debates. It becomes not the part of science, but borrows some rules of rhetoric. Television creates mixture of rhetorical ant television arguing. In Lithuanian debates the technique of dispute is based on the broadcasts moderator, who create the dispute by his personal tricks, by transferring his functions to invited talkers. The dispute is created before debates broadcasting by inviting specific persons and two arguing sites. There are elements, which can create dispute like audience, telephone calls, position of studio elements or talkers, but they are still forgotten in Lithuanian technique of dispute. In television have accepted the signs of reality television, witch debates has intercepted. In such television the process becoms more important, then the content. In debates we can see actors, who acts their roles to receive interests. Television is the key to the futures carrier for politicians, political scientists and journalists. As reality television needs persons intimate life, debates becomes emotional, these persons readjust to these wants. Today we can see that debates becames more boring, without emotions and reality television atributes. In debatus we can see less argues, less interesting speakers. Audience are forgotten at all. And these changes react to the ratings. As we can see from the research, debatus becomes more popular when it loses reality television.
