Brawls in Taiwanese Parliament

I put this up as I was just talking about this in one class a couple of hours ago......For those from VJC, where the mid year compre test passage is on silence, there was one point about how silence is crucial to let us reflect instead of react emotionally. An example to show this would be Taiwanese politics. And this article makes the point very clear.
This article is also a good criticism of the democratic system, where parliamentary debates can degenerate into a circus,

Sample Qns:
1. Consider the value of silence.
2. Consider the view that effective government is more important than democracy. (Cambridge 2011)
