Today we tried to further develop our possible essay themes by asking our assigned groups whether or not they noticed any assumptions/dogmatic attitudes in the topics. I was glad Shantonu asked what the difference was between assumptions and domatic attitudes were because I couldn't tell either, until Rab explained it to us. After discovering what was wrong with the research question "What is the best way for the Japanese government to give more educational loans?", it scared me to see how some assumptions are so deeply inplanted in our minds that we forget to question them. Questioning the obvious is really not as easy as it sounds.
Uh oh, I haven't even gotten through the first chapter of The Geography of Thought yet. :O
Have you guys read the assigned chapters already? I'm going to go read it now... See you all tomorrow!
