"It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." Explain what you believe the quote means. Should you always have a rebuttal for something you disagree with? How does this relate to the idea of survival?

I believe that the quote means that a question should be properly examined and argued instead of answering a question without critical analysis or examination.

Yes, I believe that there should be a rebuttal for something I disagree with as this is simply bringing an opposing argument to what was originally presented. A rebuttal is important when we are trying to disprove something we do not believe in.

This relates to the idea of survival because to survive, one must question things he does not believe in.

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.
