Is the death penalty a good idea? Should prison be a punishment or a method of rehabilitation? Should we have harsher punishments for white collar crimes that cause thousands of people to lose their homes? Are some penalties too severe while others are too soft? What about the use of corporal punishment such as caning in Singapore? What about the respectful and humane, some may say hotel-like standards of prisons in Norway?

Let's debate!

Come explore explosive topics like these, and see where the argument takes us! Controlled arguments help build skills like expressing yourself clearly, listening deeply, and disagreeing respectfully, all while letting you learn more about others and yourself!

As we talk, we will analyze some of the best (and worst!) ways to discuss and debate in English.

死刑是一个好的选择吗？监狱应该是惩罚，还是帮助人重新回归社会的方式？那些导致成千上万人失去家园的白领犯罪，是否应该面临更严厉的处罚？有些惩罚是不是太重，而另一些又太轻？

那新加坡鞭刑等体罚的使用呢？又该怎么看挪威监狱里被一些人形容为“像酒店一样”的、尊重且人道的环境标准？

让我们辩论吧！

一起来聊聊爆炸性的话题，看看你有多能侃！理性的讨论可以帮助每个人自我提升，比如更精准的表达，更有用的倾听，尊重不同的观点。与此同时，也可以从别人身上学到不一样的东西，了解一个全新的自己。

这期club我们就来讨论这个话题，并分享一些超棒（和超烂）的英语辩论吧！
