Description
▼Davie’s debate clubs have no winners or losers,...
Davie’s debate clubs have no winners or losers, just plenty of feedback and a supportive environment. We practise thinking and speaking logically, persuasively and with empathy, alongside active listening and understanding the other side.
Should everyone receive a basic income from the government, whether they work or not? How many houses should one person be allowed to own? And what would change if everyone’s income became public information? Money shapes our choices, opportunities and relationships, but the rules around it are far from universally agreed. When does rewarding success become protecting privilege? When does helping people become limiting their freedom? These questions get especially interesting when we imagine rules that apply to everyone, including ourselves.
Join Davie for a debate about Money & Wealth, where we’ll build arguments, challenge assumptions and explore the consequences of some bold proposals. You might find yourself defending an idea you normally oppose, or discovering a weakness in one you thought was obvious. No economics knowledge or debate experience is needed: bring your curiosity, your everyday experience and a willingness to hear another perspective. We’ll practise making a clear case in English, responding thoughtfully and persuading people whose priorities may differ from our own.
Davie 的辩论活动没有输赢,只有大量反馈和一个互相支持的环境。我们练的是有逻辑、有说服力、也有同理心地思考和表达,同时练主动倾听、理解对方那一面。
政府该不该给每个人发基本收入,不管他工不工作?一个人该被允许拥有多少套房?如果每个人的收入都变成公开信息,会有什么改变?金钱塑造我们的选择、机会和关系,但关于钱的规则,远不是所有人都能达成一致。奖励成功什么时候就变成了保护特权?帮助别人什么时候就变成了限制他们的自由?当我们想象一些对所有人都适用的规则——包括我们自己——这些问题就变得特别有意思。
跟着 Davie 来一场关于金钱与财富的辩论吧。我们会搭论点、挑战假设,也会看看一些大胆提案会带来什么后果。你可能会发现自己在为一个平时反对的想法辩护,或者在一个你觉得理所当然的观点里发现漏洞。不需要任何经济学知识或辩论经验:带上你的好奇心、你的日常经验,还有愿意听听另一种看法的开放心态。我们会练怎么用英语把观点讲清楚、怎么有想法地回应,还有怎么说服那些优先级可能跟你不一样的人。
