THEMES TO GET STUDENTS TALKING (I)

For a language teacher, there are few things more exciting than a classroom discussion that really works, especially when everyone makes a positive contribution to the debate.
Every fortnight or so, I will give you a topic to discuss, and I expect you to give your opinion on it.
Let's get started.
Today's topic is "An eye for an eye".

Vengeance is a constant theme in literature, cinema, ... but, does it happen in real life too?

Think about Confucious's saying "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves" and please leave a commentary below.

  1. We think that people do this, take an eye for and eye, because they think that people who do bad thing, must pay for what they have done, but sometimes the best option is to forgive and let it pass.

  2. Hello, we are David and IƱigo and this is our commentary:
    We think that vengeance is not a good thing, because it makes more people suffer. We agree with Ghandi‘s saying, because if we all take vengeance, we all would be making suffer each other, and all the world would be suffering.
