The mental health advocates, because they can see both the advantages and disadvantages of this to the society, and understand both of their needs. They can also provide help which could compromise both sides.

Mental health advocates

It's very realistic in this society.

They're concerned about the next generation, yet there will be more opportunities to consolidate depressed individuals, therefore theres more business opportunities.

I found the Mental Health Advocates the most convincing. They are standing on the neutral side, and they think they can teach the young people how to face challenges

2025-05-14 05:05:24 UTC

I think the government officials’ perspective is the most convincing as the reasons are very realistic and the most probable.

The first reason for their negative attitude towards ‘lying flat’ is that the economic progress is severely harmed as nobody is working anymore.

The second reason is that since nobody is working hard to earn money, an economic downturn will emerge.

As a further result, Hong Kong’s global market competitiveness will decline.

I think the most convincing perspective is the mental health advocate's one as while it is important to acknowledge that too many people laying flat is eventually going to have a significant impact or even destroy society, not understanding the root cause of the problem is also not a sustainable solution

s24264_3 — 2025-05-14 05:05:34 UTC

I think the government officials' perspective is the most convincing because it shares the cost of lying flat globally and explain the concept of economic risk

mental health advocates

I found them most convincing because they recognise why teens will support it but at the same time they weight out the benefits and harms of this philosophy

2025-05-14 05:05:38 UTC

I think most convincing is by the government, this is simply because the effects are mutually exclusive and if people lie flat it's garunteed to have bad values and and bad economy

Roboham — 2025-05-14 05:05:41 UTC

Yes, the unemployment rate is an issue, because when nobody is working, nothing gets done, in which this harms everything and everyone, providing no benefits.

s24300 — 2025-05-14 05:05:43 UTC

I think the mental health advocates is the most convincing, since it is the group that actually oversees the problem and not by using their personal opinions, and they stated both the positive and negative impacts of this attitude

s24215_1 — 2025-05-14 05:05:57 UTC

I find most convincing in the Mental health advocates' perspective. Since they have an neutral attitude towards lying flat, stating that both positive and negative effects may happen. They also think that balancing working hard and lying flat is one of the solutions to this problem.

2025-05-14 05:05:59 UTC

The mental health advocates have the most convincing perspective. They are more general and care about the balances. For example, the bad consequence of laying flat to society as well as it's benifit to youngster's mental health.

s24192 — 2025-05-14 05:06:02 UTC

Yes

Government officials are basically just parents, so they have similar perspectives, such as concern for their kids or future generation.

s24287_1 — 2025-05-14 05:06:09 UTC

The parents and the gov. officials have a shared concern that the economy will collapse in the future because the generation will not do anything, leading to no growth and the parents need to work when they are not of working age

s24271_1 — 2025-05-14 05:06:10 UTC

I found the mental health advocates the most convincing, they addressed the positive and negative side of the "lying flat" motion, and found a solution to it.

2025-05-14 05:06:33 UTC

Parent’s perspective

Thinking fully for the younger people’s future

If they don’t work, they won’t be able to get a better job and their quality of life will not be as expected.

2025-05-14 05:06:36 UTC

A shared concern is the problem where when everybody is laying flat, the society would just not function and it will collapse if the idea keeps spreading

2025-05-14 05:06:37 UTC

Yes. The unemployment rate between the parents and the government. They think the economy will collapse if nobody is working

s24177_1 — 2025-05-14 05:06:47 UTC

Government officials advocates

Economic risk matters to everyone's daily lives. Many generations will suffer from lying flat.

2025-05-14 05:06:47 UTC

I think both the parents and the government is scared about a worse society because of worse economies and parents being scared about increased burden and a bad future for kids

s24264_3 — 2025-05-14 05:06:54 UTC

Yes, the government officials and mental health advocates said that less people will work for them

s24300 — 2025-05-14 05:06:55 UTC

The future industry workforce is a shared concern

2025-05-14 05:06:56 UTC

Yes, basically all of the stakeholders besides the teens recognise that this attitude will create economic downturn and no national development

2025-05-14 05:07:00 UTC

I find the mental health advocates' perspective is the most convincing because they understand why people lie flat, they also think in other people's perspectives and find out the concerns and benefits of lying flat and why they do not, they also know the solution and what to do exactly
