Talk 上級
A man recently chose to skip his niece's wedding in order to play a poker tournament in Las Vegas
Do you think this is acceptable behaviour?
The man said he had a good feeling about this particular tournament and then went on to win the whole thing, receiving $367,800 in the process. He said he could now buy his niece a better present!
Do you think in this case the end justified the means?
He did something perhaps morally questionable but can now give a better gift so the result was “good”.
Possible Questions/Discussions:
What would be something so important to you that you’d miss a family member’s wedding?
Have you ever had to make a tough decision where you couldn’t decide between two conflicting things?
- 2 job opportunities
- choosing between different love interests
Have you ever just had a good or bad feeling about something? Did you follow your instincts or did you ignore the feeling?
Optional Debate:
i) Building a USJ park in Okinawa (for/against)
ii) The minimum wage should be increased (for/against)
