On March 23, 2023, the CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew was asked to appear before the US congress and answer questions regarding TikTok’s invasive features, possible ties to the Chinese government, and extremely negative effects the app is having on people’s mental health.According to the members of congress, this meeting would have been Mr. Chew’s opportunity to prove that TikTok can be trusted by the American people and that it shouldn’t be banned in the US. However, the congressional hearing ended up being a brutal 5 hours of what some people would call foolish questioning that left many of us thinking that TikTok will in fact be banned in the United States simply because the people who would enact this ban are afraid of something they clearly don’t understand.So in this episode and the next one, we’re gonna be diving deeper into this situation and helping you learn much more about:The English languageAmerican culture & politicsHow to listen attentively and understand the difference between what someone says and what they meanWhat the banning of TikTok in The States could mean for people like you and meLearn practical strategies for mastering English with podcasts 👉 https://payhip.com/b/Zw8iySupport this podcast with a monthly subscription and get access to bonus podcast episodes, advanced PDF vocabulary guides, and our private conversation group on Discord! 👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipFind me on social media!TikTok: @realenglishradioInstagram: @realenglishradioTwitter: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.

And with the help of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Michael Sugrue, I’ll explain how a stoic mindset enables you to stand strong in the face of uncertainty and grow into a fully-realized (and happy) individual.Support this podcast with a monthly subscription and get access to bonus podcast episodes, advanced PDF vocabulary guides, and our private conversation group on Discord! 👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipFind me on social media!TikTok: @realenglishradioInstagram: @realenglishradioTwitter: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.
