We discuss about "50% of japanese is women, but only 10 % women work at the government. Why is that?"

Historically, women are regarded as people who have lower power and right than men, and it was taken for granted that "women should do housework." It is a kind of stereotype.

But recently, the status of women comes to be recognized and is advanced.

In the future, the population of women in government would increase.

The movie which show Matchpeg is funny. This is an amazing way to run meetings.

But, I don't think that it is really good way. In this way, good ideas wouldn't occur to attendance at the meeting because they are forced to take part in it.

　

And, seeing the other two movies, about good and bad discussions, I recognized the difference of both of them. In the bad discussion, There is no unity between discussers. One person move restlessly with the face of dull, the other person looks down and be so negative,etc.. However, in the good discussion, everybody listen to and look at the speaker and concentrate on the discussion. And the leader in the good discussion is good at pulling discussers together and collecting their ideas.

We should refer to this and try to be able to do such a discussion.

The thesis statement I've chosen for Essay 1 is following:

Deciding goals and plans raises students' motivation by helping them get to the destination, informing what they have to do in order to reaching it and making them feel that it is simple to succeed.

How do "good" college teachers present information?

According to Meiland, a "good" college teachers presents information in the following way.

They generally present information which is currently believed. These information has a rational

justification of belief and this is very important in college work. But it is not always right

that college teachers give true information. So, students must discuss and examine "the basis" on which informations are currently believed.

I agree with Meiland's opinion. I think that the most important thing in learning is the quest for truth. And, to have critical thinking, students would be more intellectual.
