 oms?  辩论之夜：旧习俗有多必要？</a>\nThere are so many thing
 s we do simply because "it's been that way for generations" but is it alwa
 ys the right thing to do? Is there a point where one can decide not to do 
 it at the risk of insulting tradition? Should the father always be the one
  to give away the bride? In the west\, it's common for men to have bachelo
 r parties before they get married to enjoy their last night of freedom wit
 h some debauchery. Is this still a good idea? Does it depend on the man? H
 is wife? The man's friends? The family? What about the custom of kowtowing
  to one's elders in China? What about circumcision in Jewish culture? The 
 list goes on._x000D_ _x000D_ The truth is it's very easy to look at anothe
 r's culture's customs and objectively say that it doesn't make sense but w
 hen it comes to our own\, our response may be different\, less objective. 
 So in this debate\, we'll talk about customs from different groups of peop
 le._x000D_ _x000D_ As always\, there's no judgement\, only an honest effor
 t to speak clearly and listen attentively. It's not about winning or losin
 g\, in fact\, we never declare a winner. It's about stating a point of vie
 w logically and and listening to others with openness. Let's debate!_x000D
 _ _x000D_ Come explore explosive topics like these\, and see where the arg
 ument takes us! Controlled arguments help build skills like expressing you
 rself clearly\, listening deeply\, and disagreeing respectfully\, all whil
 e letting you learn more about others and yourself!_x000D_ _x000D_ As we t
 alk\, we will analyze some of the best (and worst!) ways to discuss and de
 bate in English._x000D_ _x000D_ 我们做很多事情只是因为“自古
 以来就是如此”，但这总是正确的吗？是否存在这样一
 个临界点，即人们可以冒着侮辱传统的风险决定不这么
 做？婚礼上，应该总是由父亲把新娘交给新郎吗？在西
 方，男人通常在结婚前举行单身派对，以放荡的方式享
 受最后一晚的自由。这在当今仍然是个好主意吗？这取
 决于男人吗？还是他的妻子？亦或是男人的朋友？还是
 家人？我们如何看待中国人给长辈磕头的习俗？犹太文
 化中的割礼呢？这样的例子不胜枚举。_x000D_ _x000D_ [...]
