    1. Women should be treated the same as men. Do you agree or disagree with thisstatement?

    For:

    -Nearly a half of the world population is women and women today can play well manyroles compared to men, from the housewife to a big CEO of a multinational company, so

    they absolutely have the complete right to have any benefits and special favours as men

    - It is a myth that men can do heavy jobs which women are unable, for example: earningmoney which women can also do even better than men, fixing some home furniture,

    carrying heavy things and something like that which dont happen regularly in daily life.

    Things that happen everyday and really exhaust people are daily housework which,

    unfortunately, men dont share (in general) with women

    - Without women, there are no talented men because women can bear all of men in theworld

    - Underestimating womens abilities is a backward thinking which limits women andsocial development. For example, in the traditional mindset, girls should graduate

    university, find a stable job and get married rather than pursue higher studying programs .

    Futhermore, sometimes, it is unacceptable that wife studies higher than husband in a

    family. Also, woman who is Doctor can see difficulty in finding a future husband.

    - Modern women go out to work and have their individual career. They do not need tototally depend on their husband because they can be active in making money and have

    financial independence. They have 8 working hours ( the same as men) in a day and then

    after coming back their house, they must be responsible for all households but do not

    receive any help from their husband. Traditionally, caring children and doing household

    were their responsibilities in the past. However, today, it is not fair when women must be

    responsible for all things while they also work. They should be treated the same as men,

    that means that in households and caring children, man and woman are equal.

    - Women can do whatever men can do, even better. To illustrate, i myself really lovesoccer, but the more i hoped, the more Vietnamese men football team disappointed me.

    While women team had won the gold medal more than 1 time, men team had not at all.

    But the financial award women were rewarded for the first ranking was less than those

    for men in the same position. Therefore, it's unfair when men are still treated as the

    superior.

    - Do you know why the international women day is on this day? Because women have tosuffer many troubles, difficulties at their work as well as their lives, they must work dayand night and as someone said above women are known as rose, cloud...but why must

    they work as a men??? Why women shouldnt be treated the same as men?

    - It seems to be unfair that every year a man usually receives only a present on hisbirthday while a woman has many days, for example, Valentine day, the International

    Women day, the Vietnamese Women day and Christmas day, to expect for a gift.

    number of male and female nurses, not many men would apply to study or work in that

    profession.

    On the other hand, although women are accepted to serve in such career as soldiers, their

    male counterparts still overwhelm in the army due to the harsh working conditions as

    well as physical requirements.

    Overall, men and women should be treated equally at a certain degree, it should not be

    exactly fifty-fifty as each gender play different part in the society that make life various

    and harmonious

    - Men and woman should be treated equally but not the same. Male and female are twoparts of the world, they have some differences about strength, appearance, the way of

    thinking, ..etc due to their physical structure. For instance, if we forced female students to

    do exactly the same exercises in physical education like male students, it would be

    treated the same, but not equal because of difference in strength in two sex.

    - There are always differences in the way we treat people. The reason will base on thebehavior and characteristic, not gender. If you think men need to do housework, whymost of you scream and give so much compliments (no offence) when your oppa can

    cook a meal or wash a dishes? Another example given, on the bus or train, people,

    especially young people can happily stand up and give up their seat to children, elderly

    people or people with serious condition such as pregnancy or disability.Then, let me ask

    you a tricky question, if there are pregnant women and pregnant men, who do you will

    give up your seat to

    - Doing housework is a marriage problem rather than treatment. If the wife want to saysomething,she should stand up and shout it in front of her man. If beaten, do not cry for

    right because that the way men usually treat each other."When the words are powerless,

    the fist will speak". Instead of crying, try to attend some martial art class and plan forrevenge.

    - If women can do all of the things as men can do, why they need to demand the sametreatment? Have you ever known or heard a woman named Margaret Thatcher (or you

    may know her as the iron lady). She fought for her own right to be a politician without

    giving up. She never demanded fair treatment from anyone because she knew there

    would be no justices in politic.

    - Actually I think men are suffering from sex discrimination. If you see a woman and aman being drowned, who will you save first? Lady first right? Poor men!

    - Also, when women wear manly clothes, we say it's style and else we say men are gay.When women play soccer, kungfu, shouting, badminton, swimming, volleyball, so on,

    then we say she is dynamic girl. Else if men play some activities of girl like roller ball,

    they will be called gay.

    - When men treat fair with women, they will say men isn't romantic, not delicated,...

    2. The anonymous CONFESSION pages are a part of a national trend that isbeginning to concern professors and school administrators. Many people think that

    these pages should be taken down. Do you agree or disagree with their opinion?

    For

    - That people do things anonymously like telling " i hate/love you" through a computerconnected to Internet - in such an illusive world will greatly affect their personality, for

    example, degradation of personal confidence and social communication.

    - This trend can prevent people from facing their true feeling and dealing with their ownsituations. They still dont have enough strength to face their past, keep running around

    hoping that they can shelter from it. They should face it as a man and put an end to the

    endless grieve rather than make a coward confession

    - If people accustom themselves to alleviate their pressure only by confessions, we dontneed to go out for chatting share our private lives or sadness to others which causes

    detrimental impacts on our real network and society- People making confessions may say whatever they want recklessly, sometimes even

    callously, insulting people or revealing someones darkest memory they have concealed

    deep down inside.

    - Personal confessions (a new variation of confession) can result to the frustration if onesuffers from the insufficiency of them or offensive ones . Therefore, many people,

    especially, young teenager will seriously suffer from autism

    - When people you mention read your confessions, they might feel bad, hopeless. theymight be obsessed by the feeling being hated. They might try to modify themselves

    following by those objective words and lose their own value of life

    - The evasion of confession inflicts many annoyance, even jealousy on readers because ofthe repeated contents related to love

    - When this trend become much more popular, it can be out of control. It will spread itswings to other fields outside of school. It can be precondition for other terrible

    confessions such as thief, reactionaries, terrorism or even bad feeling toward our beloved

    family.

    - People tend to spend their time reading, contemplating and thinking about confessingtheir stories, leading to reduction in both their concentration and productivity at working

    place

    -Some people might overthink about whether those public confessions are for them or not,leading to their delusion

    - Maybe stress, pressure can be released when we write down to confess them, but theydont disappear, they are transferredto the person you're confessing

    Against

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    5/17

    - There are secrets, ashamed mistakes that people can't outspeak in the actual life. Forexample, a girl lost her virgin in student's life which resulted from her wrong decision in

    the past. So in this case, the best way is to confess it anonymously to receive sympathy

    and advices from readers without knowing who she is. Don't you think it's better than

    keeping it for herself or showing it to everybody?

    - Confessing is like releasing something you had to hold for a long time, like putting downa heavy stone, an invisible burden on your shoulder, without shame, because it's done

    anonymously.

    - What may happen if we unveil courageously all of our secrets to everyone? How can wehope that they can accept us as the way we have been, with all our childish mistakes if we

    cant even forgive ourselves.

    - Moreover, without face-to-face interaction, people can express love more easily topartner in order to get a chance to be in love.

    - Once people got through their feeling of guilt, desperation and crisis, they can no longerfear of what they did, give themselves a chance to start over everything.

    - It is a new channel where everyone not only show their opinion, but they can also readand think thoroughly.

    - Despite some minority bad behaviors when people use confession, they are out of controland belong to ethical issues while the rest have many useful contents . So dont let some

    exceptional messages annoy you and change our impression about these community

    pages.

    - Its honesty narrows the distance among people and makes them friends more easily- Reading confessions on social pages helps people understand in more detail about others'

    life, suffering or felling, so that people have more lessons as well as experience to survive

    or behave in correct way.- A fantastic resource for psychologists who study about human behaviors.- Among those confessions, there are some warnings on bad work and trends that spread to

    young people

    3. Do violent games cause behavioral problems?For

    - Children who indulge in violent games in excess and not communicate to societyfrequently, may become anti-social and isolated. They are reserved and just retreat into

    their shells- Accumulation of seeing games bloody scenes to win each aggressive stages can lead to

    the repetition of devilish images in users mindsets, causing nightmares, anxiety disorder,

    sleeping problems for players

    - spending most of their time looking at the computer screen, video games players usuallyhave eyes problem, backache and headache, which may subtly affect their behavior.

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    6/17

    - With the aid of mordern technology, the world of game is like a miniature replica of thereal word, from the magnificent scenes to exquisite details. Virtual things can now bring

    the true feeling of involvement in whatever people plays, even killing others. The gap in

    perception between the real world with the unreal one seems to be flatten

    - Violent games, especially realistic ones, distort kids imagination about the real world,for example, fallacious perception that violence in society is normal and that is the way

    we solve our contention

    - A child's mind is like a blank canvas, and violent movies and games are like, obviously,bad marks on that childlike pure paper

    - Children and teenagers, who are the majority players of video games, are still in theirmost important stages of developing their thinking, behavior and morale. They can be

    affected very heavily by environment factors, are not able to aware exactly what they

    should do and easy to act as characters in games. They may think that if they can do like

    those virtual people, others will consider them as a hero, leading to violent behaviours at

    school or even committing crimes, becoming serial killers- In the case of games containing violent content, our subsconcious are fed with hazardous

    experiences of killing, torturing... and somehow gets familliar to it without even know

    about it. Accumulatively, The looming desire to realize them seems to devour our mind

    as we get more and more involved in such games

    -

    Against

    -Peoples behavior is decided on many social affections, such as: Enviroment, life, family,education, school, friend,.... especially, parents upbringing. A boy or girl will observe

    things in right way if their parent teach them what's right and wrong.

    - Behavioral problems are usually attributed to psychological trauma, diseases, history ofabuse. Violent games, on the other hands, account for rather few cases of above

    mentioned problem

    - Alcohol does not cause cancer unless you drink it. Same as violent games, they could notinfluence human's behaviors if we have control over what we or our children play. For

    example, many children grow up normally although Counter-strike, Rakion, etc. take

    most of their leisure time. I am a gamer and Im sure that i have never run like maniac

    around the block and try to use BB gun to snipe the hell out of living daylight someone

    pass by when trying to call an air support

    - Imagined that there were no violent games, the behavioral problems would occur in ourlives. It is usual that people have fought and treated violently to others from past to

    present without videogames effect

    - At general, every games have been rated, which means that games are suitable for whatkind of ages (Like under 5, 16+, etc..). So if you don't 'meet' the requirement to play these

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    7/17

    games, please not play. Or If you'r a child, the fault belongs to your parents, who let you

    to play that type of games when you do not have right view about the games

    - Realistic scenes in the games ignite our imagination, where we can immerse our selves infantasy world with castles, behemoths, bloody battles

    - Violent games teach us moral lessons that the good always triumphs the bad, fuel ourbelief when in adversity, protecting our countries' autonomy and human, attacking

    vicious people rather than assault, burglary, murder

    4. Social networking sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter) cause more harm than good. Do youagree or disagree with this statement?

    For

    Time consuming:

    - People can hardly balance online world and real world. SNSs excessive usingunconsciously makes a kind of addiction on which everyone spends lavishly a

    considerable amount of time rather than concentrating on their study or work, which mayharm their career

    - Spending a large amount of time on social network leads to the decrease of humanproductivity of working because people dont pay attention to their tasks seriously.

    Mostly Facebooks addicted members may take care of how many people hit the like

    button on their hot pictures while they have several tasks that have to be accomplished

    outside this cyberspace. As a consequence, those users may be disappointed themselve

    with the result given by their lack of concern

    Social bonds:

    - Sticking to the tools which help them stay connected to online world such as computer,laptop, cell phones, people will put a little attention on what are going on around them.

    (They do not care about their family, they do not mind if the furniture are broken, they do

    not know how to communicate with each other in the real life. They merely became

    indifferent with social activities which truly need their effort.)

    - People who is addicted to SNS seem to show less social contact and linguist abilitybecause they rarely hang out with friend, take care of their parents, go camping with their

    family and friends being confined within their own home and cannot leave their

    computers for long... They become intelligent extension part of a computer growing root

    in their chair sharing their thoughts through a virtual world.

    - It puts more pressure on the networker through his/her having to maintain and balance anever larger circle of people. Spreading oneself thinly gives one less time for others who

    were perhaps closer to one in the past

    - Another issue is the reaction of friends and associates.. Additionally, it enlarges theindividual's world, timeline of one will display with the others who maybe use them to

    menace or make bad comments in them

    -

    Security:

    - The contents in Internet, let alone social networking sites, sometimes are unwholesomeand not real, nave children could be tricked and abused to carry out illegal activities for

    bad guys

    - The security is also one of the main factors which turn social networking sites into adangerous place. Users identity, private life, real social bonds... are exposed to everyone

    which can be used illegally by the internet-criminal. People just click on the link

    innocently and they are not aware of what dangers they could face. They may lost their

    sensitive, private information about their bank account

    Others

    - Among the myriad of information on the internet, it is hard choose which is the best forour purposes and which content is proper or not.

    - Using social networking sites involves sitting in front of computer screen in long time.Thus, they can cause myopia or obesity.

    -In addition, many girls use facebook to post sexy photos. It is not appropriate toVietnamese cultures. They are destroying the beauty of Vietnamese girls

    - Considered to erase peoples distance easily, SNS can cause more aggressions andconflicts between them

    - Research shows that on SNS, people tend to post things they want others to see ratherthan the facts of their lives, which may lead to their virtual friends jealousy and

    unconfidence

    Against

    Communicate people:

    - Facebook, as well Twiter and other social networks shortens or even removes physicaldistances in the world, helps us keep track with our beloved ones whether they are near or

    continent apart, for example, oversea students.

    - It may bring a great number of chances to users who would like to develop their relationsglobally, regardless of the distance or different religions, different languages. People

    from over the world can share easily their opinions as well as their emotion

    - By adding the friends identity attribute into users contact list, those social networking incyberspace may support users more effectively in realizing their friends avatars and

    histories as well as make acquainted with those account. For example, many Facebooks

    members could find out numerous new friends through a random list displayed on the

    right side of its interface. As a result, loggers can be linked to their expected friends

    accounts

    Group:

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    9/17

    - With the function of creating group, and fanpage, it is easy to manage and inform to theothers without contacting each person.

    - People can joins many particulars group online to strengthen their knowledge, to sharetheir common point of views or even discuss about the esoteric ideas, for example, this

    interesting debate which brings a good condition for people who want to improve their

    English (myself included).

    Awareness:

    - At the very beginning, Social networking site (SNS for short) can not be good or harmitself. Good or bad depend on purpose and level of using of people who attend on these

    sites.

    - For people who was addicted to SNS, cant control their time on SNS, are more likely tobe on SNS than real life, gradually becoming "invisible" on real life, it is their fault. We

    people with all our advance conscious as a gift have to act in advance to prohibit badthings. Let's imagine if our Government had never proscribed heroin, how society would

    have turned into.

    Spread information

    - Social Networks basically spread out information to everybody faster than any othermedia, in the era of rapid development of technology and information as swift as light.

    Thanks to SNS, users learn about breaking news, bussiness companies make

    advertisements, Employees are informed about works rapidly.

    -These sites will make children more concern to everyone else. If a child see starvingpeople on facebook, they will immediately share this information for other society

    members on social network. This action will repeat every minute, every hour and by a

    bigger number of people. As a result, children who share that information will develop in

    their personality

    Others

    - To some extent, it's bad because we still not get familiar to it enough. Let's imagine peoplewere born and grew up under the influence of virtual life, they would be taught how to use an

    anti-virus software to defend themselves from the online threats, they would be taught not to

    click on any random link unless they want to lose all their confidential information

    - Facebook and Twiter encourages "advertisement" and "business" greatly. they offer excellentopportunities for advertising, that has created a fierce competition for companies who want to

    put their advertising on social network.

    - We can see photos, pictures of someone...such as your idol and their activities, schedule,play games

    - SNS helps to promote our life style, becoming more active, negative, outgoing.

    5. Music can have a negative influence on individuals and societies. Do you agree ordisagree with this statement?

    For

    - listening too much music deteriorates our ability to focus, causes distraction- music might disturb people surrounding you- Some music celebrities, considered role models of teenagers, have sparked public

    scandals which badly influence their fans

    - Listening to a sad song can weaken the spirit of soldiers, especially when they arepreparing for a battle

    - Music can make some people too addicted to it. They waste too much time listening to itand tune out doing others things

    - many songs with bad lyrics can affect badly on the young generation about their behavior- The imitating singer-styles trend is well-enjoyed by the young, specially,students. They

    admire their idols voice, then, easily become crazy with their clothing due to thefact that

    they suppose that what the singers wear is modern and fashionable and even a way to

    express their love

    - Lyrics contain sexually explicit contents as well as violence-related themes; howeverreceiving heavy airplay on the media such as TV musical channels. As such, it can have a

    negative impact on the thoughts and feelings of adolescents as its main listeners, possibly

    leading to disruptive behaviors and unhealthy lifestyles as a consequence

    - This problem is the way each individuals treat with music such as KPOP fan's behaviors.Needless to say, people use music as a tool and do terrible activities such as encouragingconflict, ridicule their own or other nations

    Against

    - Music always makes me feel comfort. Listening to classical music even helps me to getmore concentration on everything I do. The study has shown that listening to Baroque (a

    kind of music) gives you concentration in studying, researching

    - Many ongoing researches even found a strong correlation between the music and theintelligence of children during pregnancy period...

    - And most of all, music is like an international language which can bring people ofvarious cultures, religions, races, colors... together. It's the language of soul which was

    invented to unite our heavily separated world

    - Music makes people living better by telling them stories through literature, reproducinglife through pictures, singing soul melodies through music. Since music appeared, people

    all over the world can spontaneously understand each other as well as this country's

    culture

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    11/17

    - listening music obviously helps getting rid of stress and optimistic feelings which occuron modern society's busy life

    - Music could encourage us for struggling against imperialism and it made people , whowas living at that time believe in the winning of Vietnam soldiers

    - - In fact, Entertainment industry particularly music industry raise the budget ofgovernment. Thanks to music industry, Korea, America or Britain get a lot of money,

    these nations economy develop.

    - Listening to music is a good way to enhance childrens imagination, sharpen right brain

    of them.

    - To be honest, music in particular and culture in general shorten the gap between

    countries, advertise a country to international community.

    - You can transfer what you want to say to others without words, just through a song,

    even a song without words. That is the reason why youd love to a Korean song even

    though you couldnt understand its content clearly. With music, we are one

    - Studying English through English songs is absolutely an interesting way which helpsyou better your vocabulary without any effort.

    - Every song has its own emotion, every song stick with you in a period of time, its like

    your lifes diary. Every time you listen to a song that you havent listen for along time,

    your memory will come back.

    - In our countrys history, music with strong melody, meaningful lyrics encouraged the

    young taking part in army, fighting for our countrys independence

    - When we was a child we were brought up by the music of our mother- Music doesn't have any negative effect, it depends on the choice of listener. For people

    have sad feeling, they should listen the positive kind like classic music in order to balance

    their emotion

    - Music not only completes the individual's development but also makes our earth flat byovercoming any language barrier. That why we still have got unforgetable songs passing

    through time to time, through generation to generation, through nation to nation

    - In the case of Kpop, do crazy fans really love Korean music or they love handsome andsexy singers ?

    - Young people can understand themselves and how to regulate. We cannot deny that whenbeautiful music is played, people can find their good parts and always want to live better

    6. It's probably not worth going to university any more. Do you agree or disagree withthis opinion?

    For:

    - The reality shown that there are many people who have bachelor degree are still unemployed

    while other can achieve their dream, even the latter earn much more money without going to

    university. The most important thing is that people should recognize their ability to make right

    decision. For example, m Vinh Hng, the King of V-pop, is a son in the poor family, so he

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    12/17

    couldn't continue to pursue her studying. He had to do a lot of job before becoming a singer. And

    now he is one of the richest singer in Viet Nam. Meanwhile, there are many students graduated

    in university that are unemployment. Therefore, going to university isnt the sole way to success.

    - For those who are still in search of a path to implement their goal, university is probably a

    proper place to maximize their probability to win in the race to success. Yet for the rest, is

    university a waste of time, money and effort? Why dont they just go for their dreams?

    - Success depends on many things: knowledge, skills (soft and communication), relationship,

    attitude, hard working, lucky and so on which hardly can universities offer completely.

    - Unlike the knowledge you learn in university, you can experience a lot of diffrent jobs ,

    activities and draw much experience for yourself . That's why, you will become more mature,

    more confident. Moreover, you also can explore your strengths and weaknesses and passions

    while experiencing

    - Look back at our former generation! I can sure that hardly did they go to university. So did theyfail in their career? In fact, they are successful doctors, engineers, teacher... They brought up a

    better generation... Can we say they failed in life?

    - Why do we all have to become anybody else to be called success, how do you define failure?

    Against:

    - University is a key to access to the treasure of human kind: "knowledge", though it's not the

    only way. University is also a place where the social born is form, where we can meet up with

    many interesting people, share our dreams, self challenge, compete ... But university only offer

    us with abundant chances, take them or miss them, it all depends on us. People like Bill Gates,Steve Jobs dropped out from university just because life offered them a better chance, otherwise,

    i think they must have stayed.

    - Benefits of university:

    + Provide necessary knowledge gathered from excellent researchers who have much

    experiences which is a basement for us to deal with other issues now and then.

    + Create challenges to enhance peoples capacity, especially those who live far away

    from home. For example, they have to take care of yourself, think dependently make their

    own decision about their finance, their health thus they will become more independent

    and confident

    + Recognition of our inner talent and passion

    + Practice and improve skills like communication, team working, leadership and

    presentation which are very important at work

    + Bachelors from famous universities are likely to be promoted in higher positions in a

    company, but also gain respect from others.

  • 8/13/2019 Debate Tong Hop - VIC

    13/17

    + Build up intellectual ability, excellent critical, logical thinking, and theories based

    problem-solving as well.

    + Opportunities to meet interesting people, make friends with like-minded people.

    - University is the easiest way to achieve success is to go to university. Most of the students learn

    a lot from universities but they don't know. 90% of people who don't go to university FAIL intheir lives, while 40% (may be less) of the opposites succeed

    - Academic background guarantees good practice in reality. Thus, students can feel more

    confident before joining the competitive labor market. They are more likely to compete other

    applicants if they are trained necessary skills, including academic and social skills at university

    in such fierce job competition.

    - In many jobs, what u learn at university is compulsory with your future work. For example, If u

    want to be a doctor, without training education of university, can u get this job? And if u can

    learn from other people, can the hospital accept candidates who dont have probably training? Ifthey accepted u for this job, can u do it with only experience, can u ensure the patient's life.

    - In such a country like VN, absolutely, you should have a degree in specific fields to easily get a

    desirable job

    - People like Bill Gate, Steve Jobs are rare. Not everyone has enough conditions, intelligence,

    skillfulness and even persistence to achieve success without being trained in university.

    - After finishing high schools, students are too young to start their career without experience and

    enthusiasm.

    - Bill Gates expressed that people who are not from universities are rarely undertake vital roles in

    Microsoft such as managers and supervisors. It raises another question: How many firm accept

    their employees are high-school students and primary ones?

    7. Parents shouldn't choose career for their children. Do you agree or disagree with this

    statement?

    For:

    - Nobody can decide anything for others, even our parents who cannot live with us forever.

    - Career is a contributor of our life-long happiness and satisfaction.

    - An 18-year-old student has enough awareness to choose the career he love and which suits best

    to themselves.

    - Once children choose their jobs themselves, whether it is good or bad, they must have

    responsibility for their choice.

    - If children have to work for a job chosen by their parents:

    + They will never find confidence, self-making, creativity, independent thinking and wishing...

    in themselves

    + It also increases the dependence of children to their parents, leading to their incapability ofmaking decision..., Therefore, children will hardly grow-up in comparison with the others.

    Ex: My younger brother who has career chosen by my parents and now he even does not know

    what he likes, what he wishes....and the other things relate to his career...

    + If the career is chosen by parents and unfortunately that is not dream job of children, how can

    they try their best to achieve it. Even when he already has this job, he could never do it with any

    passion and hardly can gain anything great in their lives.

    - Children should be free to choose their careers rather than follow the ones selected by their

    parents because:

    + If a person takes a job for their passion, he/she can expose all their capability and devotehis/her life for it. Accordingly, they are more likely to gain great achievements in their careers.

    + When having to give a decision related to career, the children are grown enough to be aware

    of their characteristics and their need, so they are able to know what is the best choice for their

    life.

    + The freedom to choose one's career is also among human rights

    - Parents should advise their children to choose career because:

    + Parents have a wealth of knowledge and life experience and deeply understand children need.

    + Everyone in this planet has talents and equal opportunities but they need an enlightenment toguide them to understand themselves and choose their own paths to develop their careers.

    Against

    - Parents and adults have undergone many challenges and difficulties in life. Also, they are old

    hand at dealing with many intricate things. The advice or their experience is immensely useful

    for young people, one of the tips is to orient for children in work.

    - In several particular circumstances, especially in Vietnam, children are prone to have little

    awareness of choosing their suitable career. It is a fact that even senior students dont know

    exactly what they want to do with their lives and thus, parental guidance is drastically important.- Living with their children for a long time, parents are the one who know best about children's

    strengths, weaknesses. Additionally, they also have further vision thanks to precious experiences

    that kids do not have.

    - However, when a child extremely desires something, parents' advice should not be a substitute

    to his or her own decision. Being a supportive partner might be a better way to lead children to

    the right path to success.

    and produces a feeling of mental alertness and well being for us

    hiring a maid to do our chore. Once we've got enough money - we are financially free, we can

    pursue our dreams and we can enjoy our life in the best way that we can. Who says money

    cannot buy happiness?

    - Furthermore, it provides us a higher living standard with better health care and true

    entertainment value. in form of an air-conditioner in those burningly hot summer days, an

    interesting trip to foreign countries, fashionable clothes and pursuit of our education which

    makes us more knowledgeable, confident and happy

    - It brings us a wide range of life satisfaction which is never likely to gain without money. For

    example, if we can afford to possess many kinds of high-tech equipment, our life will be more

    - Possessing a great deal of money, we can hardly find our authentic love, loyal friends because

    they may love your money rather than yourself.

    - When you own a mountain of money, your children will not know how difficult it is to earn

    money. Therefore, they are vulnerable to social evils. How can we have enjoyment with our

    disobedient or addicted children?

    - Happiness means different to different people. Some people think Happiness is built from

    simple things and loyal sentiments among people and they just want a happy marriage and a true

    love rather than a prosperous life, which can be easily bought by some amount of money

    - If you are a rich person, there are many people who want to kidnap you or your member family

    to extort your money.

    - The reason why billionaires achieve happiness is because they are ready to share without

    asking for anything. They have a voluntary spirit like other volunteers who are not rich but still

    happy.

    - When rich people donate money to the poor, poor people may spend money on gamble or

    prostitution which can put their lives in danger. Can anyone be happy in this situation?

    9. There is no way to tax the profit of the multinationals so we might as well give up and

    increase personal income taxes, real estate taxes, and personal property taxes instead. Do

    you agree or disagree with this opinion?

    For

    - Multinationals would be inspired to expand their size, creating more jobs to society.

    - They would allocate greater budget to invest in technological development, which may benefit

    to entire society at large.

    - Their staffs salary would be increased

    Against

    - If government increases taxes in individual fields to compensate the multinational corporation

    field, it will lead not only to the crisis in economy, but also to the chaos in politics

    - Tax is one of the most important revenue of the government in which giant multinationals

    contribute a huge proportion.

    - Each kind of taxes have their own functions which bring fairness to society.If government

    replaces multinationals' tax by personal taxes may cause overlap in tax management and

    confusion for payers

    - Imposing individual taxation instead, however, simply paves way for other companies to follow

    the precedented illegal taxation-related strategies as well as leads to a potentially uncontrollable

    economy

    - If government raises income tax or property taxes, workers will not be motivated to work hard,

    Consequently, the labour force and entire economy will be harassed. Furthermore, more nativewealthy people will go overseas to avoid tax.

    - That residents are levied too much tax while multinational companies which earn billions of

    dollar profit each year must not is inequitable.

    - There will be an exponential growth in the number of multinational companies established or in

    other words, tax evasion.
