We hope that our current amount of information is sufficient in helping you achieve your goal. For now, we would like to leave the discussion board open to (along with any new ideas) the topic of 'ethics'. It must be said that the art of persuasion is a powerful tool to hold on to. No, we don't mean 'dark arts' in the sense where we fear each of you are going to shrink someone's head or turn them in to a rat. However, there is a great ability to sway people in ways that they may not fully grasp and one must consider ethics and plug the right ones in to each conversation if we want to consider ourselves a part of a democratic way of life.
This being said, we would like to hear your thoughts on this issue. Is there a place for ethics in persuasion? Or is it solely the other persons fault whether or not they fall for your argument? Until then, enjoy this video of the Guarani children in Misiones, Argentina. It's amazing to see that in all of our differences, the little guys still feel the need to make sure their hair is looking good. Haha, while our languages may present a certain barrier, I guess we can all relate to the fact that, damn it feels good to look cool every now and then! Enjoy!
