Here are the four Pramun topics for the Youth Forum.
(synthesized from Jane Austen's novel
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE)
1. LIFE IS A COMPLEX GAME OF TRUTH AND FICTION.
Historically people have not told
the whole truth: in politics, also in personal relationships,
they have always been selective regarding how much of
the truth they are going to tell.
Opposition: You should always tell the truth, no matter what.
2. Quote from the novel PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: "It is
universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of
good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
That is to say: Marriage is the institution that brings about
good fortune and happiness to the people of the world
Opposition: You don't need marriage, nor the sanction of
society or religion for partnerships to be meaningful. The
individual himself is the source of his own happiness.
3. True or false: The globalized force of Hollywood culture as
well as the global influence of rock 'n roll, rap, hip-hop diminish
regional culture and national identity.
4. True or false: The most powerful force in the world is family
prejudice.
