Use the app as a map for careful thought: first understand a worldview or issue, then examine the argument structure, then discuss with precision and charity.
Do not begin by asking, "Which side am I on?" Begin by asking, "What exactly is the claim, what reasons support it, and where could a reasonable person disagree?" That habit is the center of how social issues are examined here.
Study a tradition across shared concerns such as God, self, purpose, evil, and destiny. This builds background before difficult discussions.

Open social issuesUse comparison when you need to see how beliefs differ across common categories without ranking them.
Open CompareRead the neutral overview and the big questions before opening a claim. The goal is to understand what is being argued, not to vote immediately.
A claim is a position someone could defend. It may draw from religious, philosophical, legal, scientific, or social sources, but it is not treated as the official view of an entire tradition.
Read the major premise, minor premise, and conclusion. Ask whether the conclusion follows from the premises before judging whether the premises are true.
Most disagreement lives in a contestable premise, hidden assumption, source choice, or value weighting. Mark the exact sentence where the argument becomes debatable.
Ask the Teacher to defend the argument, then challenge it. Switch modes to surface a fair counterpoint, hidden premise, source concern, or Socratic question.
Bring a claim or syllogism into a group only after you can state the strongest version of the argument and the strongest reasonable objection to it.
