In an age of rampant social media, polarising world views and increasing mental health awareness, is the modern friendship different than before? Have our expectations and norms changed? Should we stay friends with someone if they have an opposing political ideology? Are good friends obligated to reply to messages quickly? Is it acceptable to downgrade a friendship without explaining why? If a boundary is crossed, is it ok to just block someone you used to call a friend?
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.
在社交媒体肆虐、世界观日益极化、心理健康意识不断增加的时代，现代友谊是否已经不同于以前？我们的期待和规范是否改变了？如果一个人的政治理念与你相对立，我们是否还应该保持朋友关系？好朋友是否有义务快速回复信息？是否可以在不解释的情况下降低友谊的层级？如果跨越了某个界限，是否可以直接把曾经称为朋友的人拉黑？
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！
