Time for Discussion

Upon the discussions we had in the class and unfortunately we ran out of time for all the individuals to express their beliefs and ideas extensively, the argument will be carried on.

The topics are as follows:

1. Money can guarantee happiness.

2. Getting promoted in a job doesn't require expertise or experience as much as "the walk", which is the manner or the image of a typical person who can fit the stereotype of the position.

This post is labelled as "ARGUMENT", so that your comments (on either one or both) are most welcome and appreciated.

How the Very Essence of Life Became a Hassle!

Note: "Read carefully, and write your viewpoint about this argument"*


    Once upon a time there was a little goldfish, whose biggest paradox of life rested in the name: GOLDFISH!
"How is that? My cousin is white, my pal is orange, the mayor is black, I am red and we are all goldfish!?" she pondered. "What about Sisy, the gold goldfish!? Isn't there any difference? shouldn't there be any difference?"

That was, simply, how racism, prejudice, able-ism, face-ism and many more, appeared in the underwater world.

    For thousands of years, the goldfish fight for their standpoints, insisting they are Right! Poor goldfish don't read their college books thoroughly, so they may never have the chance to read Locke's idea of no single and ultimate truth. They may never think of Einstein's relativism. They may never think of themselves as goldfish rather than a red goldfish, a black one or a white one!
