Thank you everyone for the information you have provided so far ^_^ VERY useful! Please keep it coming if you have anymore suggestions.
As I said before, I have not had any previous education in this are of study...everything I know is from watching debates on youtube, doing some google research on the topics I am interested in and pretty much just winging it. I want to be more knowledgeable and understand, learn, share etc...as much as I can while I have the desire to do so.
Just to give you a bit of an idea of what I am currently (may broaden my horizons in the future) dealing with now...I am the only Atheist and non-republican within my family, I only recently (4 years maybe) had come to think and believe this way and am very much a beginner in defending my views. Most of my family is very "passionate" about their views (as anyone defending their ideas and beliefs should be imo) My mother especially...and I just want to be able to challenge them without it starting off as an argument. Inevitably it usually ends up as one but I believe that if I could get my point across effectively and properly I might be able to at least have them listen instead of immediately going on the offensive. That is my main area of concentration atm but I do like to also get into Social Media and forum debates as well and would like to able to present my argument properly...I hope I am not going in circles lol
Please keep the resources, help etc coming ^_^
