Today, we discussed about college as a "subversive" institution in Meiland.
Rab talked about the demo that took place in 80 or more major cities in 2003.
Most of the classmates did not know about this demo, while most of the people who joined the demo outside Japan were mostly students. I was disappointed in this because I was able to see it clearly that Japanese people does not care much about other countries and war.
What makes such a difference? Maybe the education in Japan has effected us. We do not speak up in class, nor do we ask question. We do not have much opportunities to think during class. All we do is to memorize facts. I was glad that I came to ICU, since most of the ICU teachers challenges us and makes us think.
Rab gave us an assignment. We now have to write a essay in two weeks or so.
He told us to think of the research question first. Do the thesis statement later, since thesis statement is the answer to the research question.
What I heard from Rab were mostly new to me and interesting.
I have to think of the topic for essay now!!!
Any good ideas? LoL
