昨日下午，VIS 國際實驗教育的同學們在 Interactive Chinese 課堂展開了一場激盪思辨、精彩絕倫的分組辯論活動！

這次辯論涵蓋兩個極具時代意義的議題：  
「你是否認同社群媒體對青少年族群的正面影響大於負面影響？」  
「以臺灣為例，你是否認同在身分證件上應註記性別？」

在社群媒體議題的辯論中，正方強調網路霸凌對青少年的心理健康構成嚴重威脅，指出自傷與自殺事件的上升與社群平台有關；反方則強調，社群媒體在適當使用下能帶來支持系統與豐富學習資源，認為個人應學會自我管理，而非將問題全盤歸咎於科技。

針對身分證性別註記的辯論中，反方學生捍衛跨性別者權益，主張性別標註已不合時宜，並引用相關數據強化立論；正方則認為現行制度對社會運作影響不大，建議可提供更多元彈性的選項供個人選擇。

辯論過後，會議參與者公布比賽結果，並對學生們的條理分析、臨場反應與表達能力給予高度肯定。同時也感謝所有老師的辛勞指導，讓這場活動得以順利圓滿！ 

Yesterday afternoon, students at VIS JH engaged in a spirited and thought-provoking group debate as part of their Interactive Chinese class!

The debate centered around two timely and impactful topics:
“Do you believe social media has a more positive than negative impact on teenagers?”
“Using Taiwan as an example, do you agree with having gender marked on official identification documents?”

In the social media debate, the proposition argued that online bullying poses serious risks to teens' mental health, linking the rise in self-harm and suicide to social platforms. The opposition countered that, when used responsibly, social media can foster support networks and provide valuable learning resources. They emphasized the importance of personal digital literacy rather than blaming technology outright.

For the gender marker debate, the opposition defended the rights of transgender individuals, asserting that gender markers are outdated and supported their stance with relevant statistics. The proposition maintained that the current system causes minimal disruption to society and suggested offering more flexible options rather than removing the marker altogether.

After both debates, results were announced and the judges commended the students for their clear reasoning, quick thinking, and articulate delivery. A big thank you to all the teachers whose guidance made this meaningful event a resounding success!
