"Climate change is a myth. Scientists can’t even agree on it!"
Which response is the most persuasive?

That’s completely false! You clearly don’t know anything about science.

Actually, 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real. Here’s a study that explains it in detail.

You must be joking. Anyone who believes that is just ignorant.

I don’t think you’re right, but you can believe whatever you want.

"Vegan diets are unhealthy because they don’t provide enough protein."
Which response is the most effective?

You’re so wrong! Vegan diets are better in every way!

Stop spreading misinformation. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I think you’re wrong, but whatever, I don’t really care.

That’s not true. Many plant-based foods, like lentils and tofu, are high in protein.

"Video games cause violence in teenagers."
Which response follows the best persuasive strategies?

That’s ridiculous! If you believe that, you clearly don’t understand how games work.

You’re so outdated! Everyone knows video games are harmless.

There’s no solid evidence to support that claim. In fact, studies show no direct link between video games and real-world violence.

I don’t think so, but you can think what you want.

"Social media is ruining real-life communication."
Which is the best way to argue against this claim?

Social media helps people stay connected, especially over long distances. Research shows it strengthens, not weakens, relationships.

You just don’t like social media. That’s your opinion, not a fact.

No, you’re wrong. Social media is great!

People like you are just looking for something to blame.

"If someone doesn’t agree with you after a few replies, you should keep pushing your point."
Which response is the most appropriate?

You clearly don’t understand how debates work.

Actually, studies show that after four or five exchanges, people rarely change their minds. It’s often best to end the debate.

No! If you believe something is right, you should argue until they give in.

That’s not true, but it doesn’t matter anyway.
