선생님과 의견을 나눠보세요.
- In Singapore, not flushing a public toilet is illegal. Should governments legislate personal hygiene, or is this an overreach of authority?
- Finland requires people to know how to read to get married. Should there be educational prerequisites for life milestones?
- Kentucky law requires an annual bath. While obviously outdated, what does the existence of such laws tell us about how societies evolve?
- The passage includes "passive modals" for making recommendations. Which is more effective for changing behavior: laws that punish violations, or social pressure?
- Many countries have unusual laws that are never enforced. Should outdated laws be formally repealed, or are they harmless relics?
