It directly challenges your logic, judgment, and moral integrity through everyday problems.

★ If your employer pays you less than local workers when you're posted abroad, what's the problem? It's still higher than what you'd make back home!
★ Even if people voluntarily undergo brainwashing and it reduces crime, governments shouldn't brainwash them because it infringes on their personal freedom and dignity—is that true? But isn't education also a form of slow brainwashing?

In life's journey, you may encounter similar scenarios:

1. You go to collect your pay. The ATM dispensed a ton of money, more than you wanted, but your account was fine. Hey, the bank didn't know something went wrong, and no one else suffered any loss. Is this a gift from heaven? — "Kaizi ATM"

2. You are an official. A great work of art has been created, beautifully filmed and deeply moving. However, the plot is shocking, even glorifying genocide and the rape of women. Should this film be banned? — "Great Art and Moral Shame"

3. You are a consumer. "Cheap, good coffee" is everywhere—a real bargain. But why is it so cheap? Is it because the employees are underpaid and the coffee farmers are severely exploited? Are you complicit in this? — "Cheap, Good Coffee"

4. You are a third-level impoverished individual. After watching "Super Grandma of Saga," you vowed never to waste any food. One day, your beloved cat was hit by a car and killed, but it was still a whole piece of meat. Should you cook it and eat it? ——《Eat, Don't Waste》

5. You are the head of state. A notorious businessman, hoping to improve his image, is willing to donate to save credit card users and reduce charcoal burning suicides. The condition is: award him the nation's highest honor! Is this bribery or charity? ——《Bribery is not a crime, but accepting gifts is justified》
