INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Identify what the other person is arguing. For example, someone might say, “It’s best to give money away instead of spending it.” Often, people will believe that they are espousing common sense, which no one would disagree with. If you don’t understand what someone is arguing, ask them to clarify their beliefs. You can ask, “I don’t understand. What are you trying to say?” or “Could you restate that?” Before beginning to really challenge a person’s point of view, you should ask them about their evidence. A person might quickly realize that they are merely repeating something they have heard before without thinking critically. You can ask the following questions to uncover evidence:  “Why do you believe that is true?” “Please explain your reasoning.” “What has lead you to that belief?” Ideas are like building blocks. Your conclusion rests on other blocks, some of which might be unproven. When an idea is unproven, it is an assumption—and assumptions can sometimes be wrong. After asking a person for their evidence, zero in on the ideas which aren’t supported by evidence. These are their assumptions.  For example, someone might say you should give away money because having too much money makes you greedy. This person is assuming someone doesn’t spend all of their available money on necessities. You can say, “But are you assuming people have money to give away after buying necessities? Is it best for these people to give their money away?” Identify a set of circumstances where the person’s statement would be false. For example, is it always good to give away your money? You can think of many situations where a selfless person might cause more harm than good. Consider the following:  The person who wants your money is a drug addict. Ask your opponent, “Should I give my money away to someone who wants to buy drugs?” If the person says no, then follow up and ask why, which will help you tease out the other person’s thinking. You must provide food and shelter. Formulate this as a question: “Should I give away all my money when my elderly mum is dependent on me?” Once they concede that the exception exists, they should reformulate their argument to account for the exception. For example, they might say, “People should give their money away if doing so would benefit society.” In the example above, you can ask the person to define what “benefits society.” You can also ask questions to pin them down if they are confused. You should continue this process until you can’t invalidate the statement any more. The Socratic method is not about proving people wrong, so don’t be aggressive in with your questions. If your goal is to win an argument, then you should seek out different Greek philosophers, such as the Sophists. Indeed, the key to the Socratic method is to be humble. Don’t assume that anyone knows anything for sure. Question every premise.  If the other person starts to get flustered, you can say, “I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate” or “I’m trying to understand all sides of your thinking.” You might enjoy the other person’s confusion a little too much. Try not to gloat. Remind yourself that Socrates didn’t have answers for every question he asked, which is typical of an exchange using the Socratic method.

SUMMARY: Sum up the person’s argument. Ask for evidence. Challenge their assumptions. Find an exception. Ask the other person to reformulate their argument. Continue to ask questions or raise exceptions. Avoid getting nasty.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " When counting to 10, you don't typically start with zero. The word for "zero" in Spanish sounds somewhat similar to the English word, so it should be pretty easy to remember. As in English, the number cero stands alone and does not form the base of any other numbers. However, it's still an important number to know. It could come in handy if, for example, you were reading out a phone number or credit card number in Spanish. You likely know at least the first few numbers from various songs or TV shows, so counting to 5 in Spanish should be relatively easy. Memorize these words, since they form the basis for constructing the words for larger numbers.  One (1) is uno (OO-noh). Two (2) is dos (dohs). Three (3) is tres (trehs). Four (4) is cuatro (KWAHT-roh). Five (5) is cinco (SEENK-oh). Once you can count from 1 to 5 smoothly and easily, add the numbers from 6 to 10 to your vocabulary. Practice them separately as new numbers until they roll off your tongue as easily as 1 to 5 did.  Six (6) is seis (saiss) Seven (7) is siete (SEE-yeht-ay). Eight (8) is ocho (OHCH-oh). Nine (9) is nueve (NOO-ay-veh). Ten (10) is diez (DEE-ehss).
Summary: Use the word cero (SAY-roh) for "zero. Start by counting from 1 to 5. Move on to the words for the numbers 6 through 10.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will help keep your surroundings clean. It will also trap the heat generated by your head and help the dye process faster. You can use this time to wipe off any dye on your skin using a cotton ball and an alcohol-based makeup remover. How long you end up waiting depends on the type of dye you are using, so read the instructions carefully. Most boxed dye kits require you to wait 20 to 25 minutes. Professional dyes typically have a 20- to 45-minute developing time. Don't go over the recommended time, or you risk damaging your hair. Once the time is up, remove the shower cap and clips. Rinse the dye out in the sink or shower using cool water. Do not use any shampoo, or you will risk rinsing the dye out. If the water is too cold for you, you can turn it up to a lukewarm temperature instead. Use the conditioner that came in your dye kit. Apply the conditioner to your hair, wait 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse the conditioner out. Be sure to use cool to lukewarm water for this. If your kit did not come with a conditioner, purchase a silicone-free, color-safe conditioner from the store, and use that instead. It would be best to allow your hair to air dry, but you can blow dry it as well. Avoid heat-styling it for the next couple of days so that it can recover from the dyeing (and bleaching) process. If you must use a curling iron or flat iron, apply a heat protectant to your hair first, and use a low-heat setting.

SUMMARY:
Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap. Allow the dye to develop for the time recommended on the package. Rinse the dye from your hair using cool water. Apply a color-safe conditioner to your hair, then rinse it out. Dry and style your hair as desired.
