Extending the example, “if a company A (eg. Marlboro) pays you a salary X to do your fucking job Y ( make cigarettes more addictive) and if you use that money and time on activities Z(whistleblowing, protesting, etc), especially if it negatively affects company A's image / revenues, why shouldn't the company be allowed to fire
I think people feel strongly about certain issues. That doesn’t imply that what they are doing is inherently wrong if driven by those core sentiments. How about we empathize- We can respect both Google’s and the employees’ action without choosing sides.
I am going through this course- and it is fabulous. Covers tests, and even though the topic names might seem easy or trivial(I mean there is only so many ways you can write loops or define arrays), they include a lot of "extras" that make it fun- for example one of the topics might include details about how to write doctests and docs, another one might introduce table driven tests and provide advice on when to use them. Overall it is great.
I'd be very interested in seeing this approach applied to other language courses.
