For students on all levels:
Values education -” Respect others as you want others to respect you.” During the impeachment, the endless debate on the issue at hand brought a lot of controversies because of differences in opinions and point of deliberation… prosecution team and the senator judges somehow have lost their professionalism. They ought to disrespect each other to prove their individual point.
