Hi, everyone:
This is the announcement, in advance, of the second practice that is scheduled on April 16 of this year. The details are as follow:
Title of the topic to talk about: PEACE
Genre: Presentation and Discussion.
Grouping: A few groups that are composed of 4~5.
Preparation: You are welcome to make a brief summary of what you think of the topic “PEACE” in approximately 50~100 words or more. You are also welcome to make reference materials to assist your talk. But take it easy, this is not obligatory.
Our environment in close vicinity and in wide ranges are always full of problems. They are, for example, infectious diseases, food shortage, global climate change, social and racial discrimination, and wars. Despite them, we have been more or less overcoming the problems by hoping for possible happiness and peace, and eventually we are surviving.
Despite that, a few have taken advantage of the problem for their own profit and self-esteem such as Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, Yusaku Maezawa, and etc. Oh! what a disgusting species!
Guys, let’s talk and discuss on such cross sections as:
1. What is the definition of PEACE? Is it more difficult than looking for HAPPINESS?
2. Do you think a kind of world PEACE can be attained someday?
3. If yes, then, by what means and in what extent?
Forbidden phrases: “PEACE is an illusion” or “PEACE is impossible”.
