1. Debate:

Pure debate does not require self-stance.

Cut a few sentences:

-when someone tries to act like some sort of an expert, you can respond, "Who says?"

-if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.

-That's a negotiation, not an argument.

-Nick: I proved that you're wrong—and if you're wrong, I'm right.

son: But you still didn't convince me.

Nick: Cause I'm not after you. I'm after them.

The teacher assigns a composition topic to the male protagonist's son: Why is the American ZF the best ZF in the world?

(The first reaction of the male protagonist is to complain about the endless appeal system in the United States)

After that, I explained: "bs" - bullshit, a false proposition or a question that cannot be judged, and the answer itself is only a biased and provocative answer.

In the son's final speech, the question was returned to the final issue of "love". (The filming is very interesting. The son's speech and the kidnapping of the male protagonist are interspersed with the dialogue with the robber, and the question and answer is in the air.)

2. Marketing:

That Hollywood movie cigarette implant is really a good marketing plan. The current cigarette boycotts fantasize about a future world where smokers and non-smokers coexist as a backdrop for the filming, allowing the conflict to subside naturally. Then use a series of elements such as space station, famous movie stars, love themes, sexual stimulation, etc., in the vast universe, the only two of them have sex naked and watch the stars smoking and chatting, which is indeed a very attractive scene in my imagination. Then a perfect stealth ad was achieved. Logically, the hidden dangers that may arise from a fire in the space station can be made up of a technology, and the remaining content of the capital negotiation is to blow a few smoke rings in space to increase the money. Make smoking a cool thing, it's that simple.

3. Moral flexibility:

mod-merchants of death The group of three lobbyists of alcohol, arms, and cigarettes is quite interesting. Ethical considerations in the context of marketing content are necessary but difficult to define, and often end up back on corporate reputation.

In the end, self-discrimination is always the most important.

    Why is the US government the best government in the world? The original three stars can be added one star... (This is what I said about studying philosophy, being a consultant is a promising career...I talk...)

    The eloquence is really quite good. The plot is interesting.
