DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://popcornclubshanghai.com/event/disagree-animal-c
 ruelty-45486/register">DisAgree: Animal Cruelty </a>\nThe animal cruelty d
 ebate is one that's constantly in and out of the news\, and it's nothing n
 ew. There are viral videos of dogs and cats being mistreated\, yet at the 
 same time\, testing on animals has allowed humans to achieve great improve
 ments in medicine. But what about if we test on animals for non-life-savin
 g cosmetic products like makeup and shampoo? Should there be harsher punis
 hments for animal cruelty? Is eating animal meat or wearing animal skin un
 ethical? Should animals have the same rights as humans? Should there be di
 fferent rules for animals we consider pets and the ones we consider food? 
 How about the using of dogs for food? Is this just part of the culture in 
 some places or is it something that needs to be stopped? Did you know that
  China gets a pretty bad rap in the West when it comes to the treatment of
  animals? Is this a fair asessment or just another example of the West mak
 ing judgements based on limited information? Let's debate! Come explore ex
 plosive topics like these\, and see where the argument takes us! Controlle
 d 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 we'll analyze some of the best 
 (and worst!) ways to discuss and debate in English or any other language. 
 关于虐待动物的争议，一直反复出现在新闻里，也并不
 是什么新话题。一边是猫狗被虐的视频频繁传播引发愤
 怒，另一边，动物实验又确实推动了医学进步。但如果
 是用于化妆品、洗发水这类非救命用途的实验呢？是否
 应该对虐待动物施加更严格的惩罚？吃肉、穿动物皮毛
 算不算不道德？动物是否应该拥有和人类一样的权利？ 
 我们会进一步讨论：对于“宠物”和“食物”，是不是
 应该有不同的标准？比如吃狗肉，这在一些地方是文化
 的一部分，还是一种需要被叫停的行为？ 还有一个现实
 问题：在动物保护这件事上，中国在西方舆论中常被批
 评，这种评价公平吗，还是信息有限下形成的刻板印象
 ？ 让我们一起来辩论吧！ 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，更有效的倾听，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，另外
 用英语或其他语言探究几个超棒（和超烂）的辩论方法
 ！
