GD: topic : Group 12 ppl..1 girl :wow:..Westerners post the age of 18 work their way through college an are independent financially...while Indian students generally are debt free post college when they finally start working as parents take the entire financial burden ..does it make them better/worse individuals..
Managed to initiate the discussion

..introduce myself..topic and gave my view..independent,responsible for the Westerners..
after that it was a chaos ...all trying to speak simultaneously..moderators intervened..
