Congenial Debates on Controversial Questions
When we are locked in a heated debate, we forget the original intention of the debate is not to fight it out, but to solve a problem. There are numerous traps in a debate, and straw man fallacy, virtue ethics, stealing concept, demonizing the opponent can only aggravate the contradiction and conflict of the opposing sides, rather than find a solution. What we need is softened speech and reduced hostility, honest and considerate, polite and prudent thinking, as well as calmness and grace in solving a problem.
