Argument Etiquette

When engaging in a debate, here are a few things to take care of:

  1. Empathize with the other person’s point of view.
  2. Try not to make the debate a ‘he-said-she-said’ slinging fest, and keep it productive and solution-based.
  3. Do not argue in an email or text message, as it makes one lose the power of hand gestures, facial expressions, and the intonation of our words, which can change the context of the statements.
  4. Take a break and cool down, if it seems the conversation isn’t going anywhere.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
