From ancient days to modern times, rhetorics and debate were often two closlely linked terms. In modern days, debates are mostly transmitted by media so that their message could reach a large number of people all over the world and they can also tell us who is the better speaker, listener, and who knows more about debating themes. In addition, most of the times debates are led between two speakers who have opposite views, with both of them trying to bring their point closer to people. The purpose of this thesis is to explain the format of the debate; what is rhetorics, what constitutes a contemporary understanding of a good speaker and to analyze debate under the name of "Happiness: Capitalism vs Marxism" between Slavoj Žižek and Jordan B. Peterson. By analyzing rhetorical formats, types of debates and in the end, the whole debate itself, we got an insight of what it takes for a person to be a good speaker, but also, who as a person can bring their view closer to the audience and at the same time, encourage the audience to think about the particular subject. Good speaker is a person who has perfected diction and gesticulation, successfully manages his or her nonverbal communication, has a good feeling for proxemic, controls his tonality and knows a great deal about communication etiquette.
