Victor begins a discussion of immigration with this question, "Should countries have borders?" He lays out three arguments against having borders and four arguments for having borders, including what the Bible says about the issue. Parental pause point questions: 1. What's an issue you feel passionate about? Can you make an argument for the other side? (6:34) 2. Should countries have borders? Why or why not? (8:09) 3. Which argument against borders do you find most convincing? (12:13) 4. What would you say in response to an argument against borders? (13:37) 5. Which of The Great 8 questions applies to this issue? (18:54) 6. Which side do you think is most convincing? (24:49) For reference, The Great 8 questions are: 1. What happens next? 2. Has this been tried before? 3. Is there a principle involved? 4. What are the trade-offs? 5. What do you mean by that? 6. Is this an appeal to emotion or logic? 7. Am I focused on the speaker or the argument? 8. What does the Bible say?
