The discussion takes place whenever there is a difference of opinion concerning the situation. It involves an interchange of questions and ideas among the students. The purpose of the discussion is to encourage an exchange of ideas and viewpoints.Discussion methods may be superior to lectures or reading for the retention of information. This method has been found to be superior in building attitudes that are important in shaping behaviour patterns. It should be noted that a teacher can include 4-6 students for small group teaching to enable discussions. Its advantages are:Develops the ability to discuss with students.Increases self-confidence of students.Inspires individuals to act to improve their own situations.Brings out past experiences and known facts that may help in the present situation.Helps in knowing the deductive viewpoints of others. Discussion on government and its functioning leads to extreme views as it is a subjective topic and views and perception of different people is of varying nature. Therefore, this topic requires a more objective interaction, that is, it should not be constituted or influenced by personal opinions and should strictly be based on facts.Thus, it is concluded that more often discussion on government and its functioning lead to extreme views, therefore teachers should organise more objective interactions as compared to deductive views.HintAvoid any debate or discussion on it.:- Avoiding the debate will only put the learners into ignorance and they will never be able to objectively debate on government and its functioning which is needed in a democratic nation.Criticise the way government functions:- Criticism is not the objective of teaching, a teacher should put genuine facts in front of the learners unbiased, regardless of his/her own personal opinions. Argue for judicial activism:- An argument of judicial activism is again influenced by personal beliefs, moreover, it is an ideology and it cannot be the deciding parameter of government functioning effectiveness.
