Marc: The fact that the people of our country look back on the past with a great deal of nostalgia demonstrates that they regret the recent revolution.

Robert: They are not nostalgic for the recent past, but for the distant past, which the prerevolutionary regime despised; this indicates that although they are troubled, they do not regret the revolution.

Speaker 1 Summary

Marc concludes that the people regret the recent revolution. This is based on the fact that the people look back on the past with a lot of nostalgia.

Speaker 2 Summary

Robert concludes that people don’t regret the revolution. This is because people are nostalgic for the distant past, not the more recent past.

Objective

We’re looking for a point of agreement. Both speakers agree that the people are nostalgic for some aspect of the past, and that this nostalgia allows us to draw inferences about whether the people regret or don’t regret the revolution.

tend to underrate past problems when the country faces troubling times

Neither speaker has an opinion about what people tend to do. They argue only about what the nostalgic feelings of the people indicate about the people’s feelings concerning the recent revolution.

are looking to the past for solutions to the country’s current problems

Neither speaker has an opinion. Neither suggests anyone is looking for solutions. They may have nostalgia for the past, but this doesn’t indicate the presence of solutions in the past.

are likely to repeat former mistakes if they look to the country’s past for solutions to current problems

Neither speaker has an opinion. Neither suggests anyone is likely to make another mistake.

are concerned about the country’s current situation and this is evidenced by their nostalgia

This is a point of agreement. They acknowledge the people are nostalgic for the past. Marc believes this nostalgia shows regret for the revolution. Robert believes this indicates people are troubled. This supports agreement that people are “concerned” as shown by the nostalgia.

tend to be most nostalgic for the things that are the farthest in their past

Neither speaker has an opinion. Neither suggests what people tend to be most nostalgic about. Neither speaks about different degrees of nostalgia.
