The first step of Critical Thinking is
ask "Why"
Keep "?" in mind always
which we are never allowed to to under TW's education system
What a cultural shock to me!
When I was a child, I liked to ask "Why", but no one answered me.
I was asked to obey the system.
It was easier to find the trail of the system and followed it. I knew that I could do it well and I achieve it as others...
It is an easy way to survive under TW system, however it is an easy way to erode my logic.
When I got used to the rule of society, I lost the courage and tool to make the society better.
I envied people who raise the voice and take action in order to change the situation.
They took the challenge for themselves and tried to change the world.
Maybe they succeed, maybe not...at least there is still something left.
From now on, I decide to discover "?" in the life.

到英國上課後，最明顯的感受是教學的方式與目的在於培養我們思辨的能力
聽起來有點抽象，不過我不認為自己過去的教育中學到這一塊
在台灣，面對考試我們總是在追尋標準答案
答案似乎只有一個，考試拿高分進好學校似乎是唯一的一條路
在考試制度下要高分通過也不難，只要抓對題型反覆練習就可以達到一定的效果
這是一條阻力最小的路
相對之下，如何有挑戰現況並且抓出問題的勇氣跟能力訓練反而少之又少
忘記是多小的時候，我也曾是那個愛問「為什麼」的孩子
直到有一天我決定把這些問號收起來，因為從來沒有人回答過我
於是我也走了那條阻力最小的路，如同許多人一樣
這條路沒什麼不對，只是讓人少了改變生活的勇氣，默默接受了社會的許多潛規則
直到有一天輪到我們掌舵時，才發現我們根本不知道該把船開到哪
期待自己的思辨之旅從問「為什麼」開始，尋找生活的脈絡，每天都做一點改變。
