What have you learned about working with others in a formal setting that will you be successful in group discussions? respond in two to three sentences.

When it comes to working with others on a formal setting what's important to be successful in a group discussion is explain them in light of the values and beliefs of your opponents. It is also important that the words appeal to the sensitivity of the adversary.

It must also be considered that it is not necessary to extend too much. It is not argued better by saying the same thing many times, or with many words. If you speak too much it is more likely that you are wrong.

If you're wrong, accept it. It will not take you anywhere to be a fool, but it will harm you.

Never use the "ad hominem fallacy", even if you run out of arguments. It is the easiest exit, but also the dirtiest one.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
