Bring your sketchbook, pencils, and pens to Plaza Dr Benjamin A Gould (the park next to the planetarium).

If you arrive later you can send me a WhatsApp message (I'll post my number closer to the event date). // Llevá tus cuaderno de bocetos, lápices, y plumas al Plaza Dr Benjamin A Gould (lo al lado del planetario).

Si llegás después, podés enviarme un mensaje en WhatsApp (publico el número más cerca de la fecha del evento). Meeting point//Punto de encuentro: https://maps.app.goo.gl/k39qrU8T3eUH81uCA

🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇 Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself? Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home — yet longing to belong? Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land — through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another. 🔹 **What to expect?** ✔️ Discover tango as a social language — not just a dance ✔️ Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement ✔️ The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies ✔️ No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome! 📍 **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. We’ll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before) 💰 **How much?** 10.000$ 🙋🏼‍♀️ **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld — tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance. 👟 **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner. ☕ **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Café Diletto and come with us to the class! Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires — and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace. ✨ See you on the dance floor! FOLLOW US INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY / @valeriekattenfeld [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy/) *** ¿Te mudaste a otro país y tuviste que reinventarte? ¿Construir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar — y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer? El Tango Argentino nació exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de recién llegados encontraron conexión en una tierra desconocida — a través de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiéndose mutuamente. 🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?** ✔️ Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social — no solo como un baile ✔️ Ejercicios lúdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexión a través del movimiento ✔️ El abrazo, la caminata y el diálogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos ✔️ Sin presión ni secuencias complicadas — ¡bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos! 📍 **¿Dónde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fácil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy). 💰 **¿Cuánto?** 10.000$ 🙋🏼‍♀️ **¿Quién?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld — bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cálidos, claros y auténticos de conexión a través de la danza. 👟 **¿Qué traer?** Ropa cómoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. También podés venir en medias). No necesitás venir en pareja. ☕ **¿Antes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Café Diletto y venite con nosotras/os a la clase. Entrá en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires — y quizás reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo. ✨ ¡Nos vemos en la pista! **SEGUINOS** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY / @valeriekattenfeld** [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy/)

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
