Inthe past, accepting the content taught by the lecturer without questioning isthe common way of study. Unfortunately, it only results in a low level ofunderstanding and a high possibility of easy forgetting by students, since itrequires students to just memorize not question the fundamental theory and itsapplication, which in most cases are under some hypothetical situations.
For skepticismway of adopting knowledge, deep and further thinking about whatever thestudents learn are required. Before raising any questions, students need tothink, to compare the new knowledge with the one they have stored in theirbrain and find something that is different or incorrespondent with the new andthen question. After raising a question in class or with professorindividually, there comes the second stage of thinking and discussing betweenteacher and student, which indeed benefit both sides. The questions may lead toa new and further understanding of a certain topic, or broadening the bond ofthe certain view. Even if the question is premature, it still drives theteacher's attention to certain aspect, and he/she may emphasis on this aspectto reduce misunderstanding next time. Such process would make the class livelyand will encourage more people to participate actively in. Moreover, thissuspected attitude would establish an active learning habit for the life-longlearning process.
Tobetter adopt into the society, a skepticism way of thinking is especially important.In reality, noting is 100% true. Mass media controlled by the government ormajor company decide what and how to report to the public to achieve theirgoals. Fashion Magazines tell people what is hit items this season or what isthe best look for dating by listed the clothes and accessory of their sponsors'products. Some small companies even pay for the famous magazine to get theircommodities introduced with special page. Therefore, students need to formtheir own standard and judging every piece of information on their own.
However,such suspected attitude may lead students to over act, only aiming at finding meaninglesstiny faults on lecture or text book instead of learning the fundamentalknowledge required. In addition, a strong imply of suspecting habit could leadto a critical or cynic mind which would bring trouble in the future. In ageneral picture, if the generation is likely to judge every new strategy forcedby government, it is hard to processing some urgent policy in time before convincingsuch a mass of different voices against it. Just like in Hong Kong, wherepeople complained about everything, there never has a leader satisfied thegeneral public at large. People are harsh on the government and against almostevery new change every time, that in turn, is difficult for government to go further,and develop the city.
Allin all, it is necessary to encourage student bringing a critical mind in duringeducation process that not only benefit the students themselves but also couldimproved the quality of the whole education. Regulations and possible methodsshould be provide to prevent the over act of student and also encourage studentparticipating in such beneficial education process.
