Speaker 1: I support Concussions, violence, criminality, lack of sportsmanship, poor role models for youth, crass and unbridled commercialism—one should quit watching football on moral grounds. In recent years, there are many negative news about football players. However, some crazy football fans still insist their idols are right. And even those football fans would fight with other football fans just because the latter’s idols win the game. Obviously, those football players who have bad manners are twisting our moral standards constantly. The root of the problem is that there are so many people watching their games. Those bad football players can get support from their fans. In other words, if we stop watching football, those bad guys will be punished easily; also, they do not have enough money to destroy our moral standards.
Speaker 2: Sure, preventing people stop watching football will prevent those players’ bad behavior and protect our moral standard. However, this is a negative solution. We have to face the problem bravely. Everything has two sides, if we quit everything which is related to some negative thing of moral standards, people will not make progress because there is no “false”. As Steven Johnson notes in his article Watching TV Makes You Smarter, “Just as important — if not more important — is the kind of thinking you have to do to make sense of a cultural experience.”
Speaker 1: You mean we have to learn and keep everything in our life, even though something will make bad effect on our life.Speaker 2: You just understand a little of my thought. I mean everything reflected in our life is making sense of our cultural experience. We cannot quit them, but we can make more rules and laws to restrict those bad manners and bad behaviors. And secondly, if people stop watching football, many people whose jobs are related to the football will get a lower salary even lose jobs. Which might make the crime rates higher, resulting to damage the moral standards. And there are many football stars are black people; if they fall down, the social level of the blacks might be lower. Because their influence are reduced in the society.

It is all too clear that we all owe it to ourselves to never lose our sanity, the self-respect, courage and our confidence to know “why it’s important to keep it. Don’t change it. Only understand, learn and remember what’s important. That’s what we did by turning to psychology. That stuff is useful.” (1.5 – 4)–Paul S. Monson: “My advice to a friend who needs to stay in control, is to keep your calm and keep on going and learning and on and on”–Paul S. Monson: “I never want to become a man or do anything, just go with your heart and let go of yourself. If you do something and it works, that’s great. But when you do something just because you’re trying to be, it doesn’t mean it works, you just do the right thing and you’re done, and those things do work, because that’s what the brain does, you get back on the wagon like a truck. Do something and do your thing.”–Paul S. Monson: “There’s an art to doing your thing if you have to. If you stick to the right path you keep learning. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you won’t be doing it well. Even the best students keep on doing things well, they learn from mistakes and if they think the answer is no there is no better way to learn!”–Paul S. Monson: “Don’t quit your life for lack of understanding, that will put you right back into the real world. The way I look at it, I don’t think there’s going to be a perfect way to do it, but it certainly can be in a way that works. You have to keep on learning even if you have to. If anything it gives you an opportunity to look at your life in the context of something better, with more meaning.”–Paul S. Monson: #1- 3. What is to be taken from their head? Is it a positive or negative. If we ask, “So what if I am a good or bad apple and I am happy and I have a good apple but it’s only happy for me to have apple pie?” it will not be so good because we have the world of apple pie and we only want there to be one apple pie. It’s only bad because it’s meant for the bad apple. One apple pie will get your life changed and it doesn’t get you any money. It’s just part of being good. And that is what you learned from trying to become a good apple. That’s the only way to learn. If things don’t turn out to be good for you, you won’t be happy because you can’t learn from the mistakes. You can learn from mistakes. And if things don’t turn out to be good for you,
