Debate
 Debate:
When you have a problem, do
you ask other people for help or
opinion, or do you solve the
problem on your own?
Ask people for help or opinion
pros - To be provided various range of opinion
- To solve the problem with speed, more rapidly
- The solution is supported by other people.
- To help to build a close relationship by doing this for me or others
- Others to start to help to care of my situations
- You can get the best and confirmed solution from the experience that is the
same situation with this and that is already finished.
- To discuss something with others usually drives for a better opinion than
think by oneself.
- Usually people like to help others.
- During a discussion with others, you can develop a solution and then the
solution can be perfect(flawless).
- We don’t have the problem to discuss with others always.
- We can compromise the opinions from our own and from others to make the
final solution.

Cons of solving - Sometimes, it is not a good way to only rely on the others instead of to have
problems on your one’s perspective.
own - If there’s no one to ask it, you can’t use this way.
