Being too nice & Worldview


Session One


Q1. Almost everyone likes a nice person but do you agree being too nice can hurt you sometimes.
Q2. Do you feel difficult to say "no" to people sometimes? Is is healthy to be a people-pleaser?
Q3. Do you agree that being too nice can't make you a good leader?
Q4. Do you agree that being too nice to an opposite sex sometimes lead to rejection? If your answer is yes, why?
Q5. What are the other disadvantages of being too nice? For example, you are being taken for granted. You spoil your children.


Session Two
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/fore ... Policy.htm

Q1.Why aren't Taiwanews interested in international news? Is it good to focus on internal affairs and ignore what is happening in the outside world?
Q2.What is the importantance of global knowledge? It's not a necessary skill for most jobs, is it? Why does it matter?
Q3.Taiwanese spend much time and money learning English and traveling aboard. Why do we still lack worldview?
Q4.Why do Taiwanese complain about sensational news stories but still watch them ? Do you agree this is so called "Bad money drives out good"?
Q5.Research shows, Taiwan enjoys the best press freedom in Asian. What are the advantages of market-oriented journalism?

take what happened in Syria as an example, a toxic chemical attack in Syria killed a lot of people the other day, and without any concrete proof the news tells us the perpetrators are Syrian military forces and, most people believe it then, leads to the permitted US air strike on Russian supported Syria air bases..

what i mean is it's not just market-oriented that simple. market can also be created and manipulated by power, and that's the problem. is it like Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, if i don't take it wrong? ok, you guys might not think the analogy is good..

anyway, nice one, Ken! ^++++^
i might be a cynic and, a sceptic as well but, i'm definitely not a bad person!!

Hi Ken

Excellent topic and hosting yesterday, too bad I could only join 2nd part. I think your 2nd session is also worth discussing over more time.
Since you are the media expert, we shall hear more from your in-depth point of view. I have another questions regarding how to judge fake news (Like commercial product placement) and how to find out the more appropriate truth as you mentioned all medium might have sort of political standpoint. Glad to hear feedback from you.
