1.) What is the position of both Peterson and Zizek about the concept of happiness and human flourishing? What do they teach us about these concepts? Write down 4 main ideas that each of you has stated, with 1-2 supporting ideas each (4 main ideas by Peterson, and 4 main ideas by Zizek). They can use a table or diagram to accommodate their analysis of ideas.
2.) There is a part of the debate where the possibility that happiness is related to self-regulation and individual responsibility is discussed. What is your position as a team? How much is the responsibility of the environment and how much is individual responsibility; in both happiness and flourishing? Argue and develop.
3.) Dialogue/discussion: choose 2 ideas from Peterson and 2 from Zizek. As a team, they discuss and answer whether or not they agree with those ideas and why, as if they were asking or commenting directly to the debaters. Always respond to the argumentation, and avoid opinions and logical fallacies.
4.) As a team, what conclusions do you come to about happiness and flourishing? Describe at least 3 ideas.

What I need to be done is only part number 4 please, the other questions I just added them so you know what the work is about and the context. I already started with one of the three ideas that I need to do, so if you could continue with the other two ideas that I need to do please. So if you could part with the other two ideas from here please: 

"After listening to this debate from these two individuals who throughout their lives have learned differently about many topics, which we can hear in the video, we can define that even if it is a debate, there is no winner as such.
Zizek through his philosophy mentions that happiness is a matter of opinion, not the truth, with this he refers to the fact that we as individual and "free" people think that the environment makes us happy, when in reality it is our behaviors and decisions, on the other hand, we have to respect external aspects that are not in our control and clearly that these influence us, however, the responsibility of how we take these aspects continues to fall on us."

PS= Please make it extended as possible.
