1.1 We Will talk about an economic aspect, how the coronavirus affects the economy

in the actual times?

1.2 The problem that we are going to raise about the coronavirus is centered on the

impact it had on the economic and social sector, affecting progressively and

collectively, this generating an abrupt unemployment and placing families with a

mediatic salary in a bad employment situation, generating greater subsidies and

placing the economic situation of the country in an unstable situation.

1.3 For this discussion we are going to use 2 of the 38 rules raised by Schopenhauer,

which will be the following:

Trick number 30 advises that you can win your argument by appealing to authority

rather than reason. Schopenhauer has an agreeably wide interpretation of

'authority', including what, for the time being, is generally believed. 'There is no

opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can

be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted ... they are like sheep

following the bellwether wherever it leads them. They would rather die than think.'

Trick number 36 is to win by the use of jargon or gobbledygook. 'If [your opponent]

is secretly conscious of his own weakness and accustomed to hear much that he

does not understand and to make as though he did, you can easily impose upon him

by some serious fooling that sounds very deep or learned ... '
