As an American supporter living in a communist country, Vietnam, I encounter people with contradicting opinions all the time. And this time I’m going to talk about my friend, or more like my death mate, a school. So all the time we were having a very heated argument because she was defending the civil laws of the country why I was debating to prove the drawback system. And to be honest, although I say that it was a really heated argument and a blazing rule, she indeed had no logical reasoning at all. And through her, I’ve learnt one thing that the doubt size excessive propaganda proves to be very very huge and massive that sometimes people have lost their cognitive thinking and instead just just praising a lot the government as much as possible. But besides that her lifestyle is not so bad she does everything at a normal rate that a normal human would do I guess and and her cognitive process, although it’s not so effective, she still has some logical in her and her academic performance is not too bad. I would say at the mediocre level, I suppose. Yeah, but after all, we stopped talking to each other. I mean, we stopped being and speaking terms because of this.

As an American supporter living in a communist country, Vietnam, I encounter people with contradicting opinions all the time. This time, I'm going to talk about my friend, or more like my debate mate, from school. We often had very heated arguments because she was defending the civil laws of the country while I was debating to prove the drawbacks of the system. To be honest, although I say it was a really heated argument, she indeed had no logical reasoning at all. Through her, I've learned one thing: the downside of excessive propaganda is so massive that sometimes people lose their cognitive thinking and instead just praise the government as much as possible. Besides that, her lifestyle is not so bad; she does everything at a normal rate that a typical person would do, I guess. Her cognitive process, although not very effective, still has some logic in it, and her academic performance is at a mediocre level, I suppose. However, after all this, we stopped talking to each other. I mean, we stopped being on speaking terms because of this.
