steven100 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 1 hour ago, ChrisY1 said: Educators, politicians and many of the general public, still regard university students as children...and therefore, inferior to adults. An old traditional mindset that just can't be changed. In reality of course, and something many can't grasp, is that students are so much smarter than the "grown ups"....whilst some educators believe that rote teaching is the only way, universities are gradually opening up, because they are being demanded to, as the internet teaches young people to think and act and nowadays, question why and how. they use the smartphone for games and facebook selfies ...... that's all ! oh .... and shopee . I know, I have friends of various ages and groups and that's what they do most of the day. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Katipo Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 The psychologist who stated this has done himself and the profession a great disservice but voicing a very one sided opinion. It's almost as if she has a pre-determined agenda to discredit the protesters by undermining them as individuals, while at the same time completely ignoring the validity of their concerns. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyx Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 4 hours ago, misterjames said: It won't be long before "following others" turns into "foreign influence" they will definitely make this white mans fault somehow. Also I wonder what they will regard as a solution re-education camps like China and internet censorship? I think I can see where this is going. Kind of restrictive, don't you think? Freedom is not solely, nor really, a "white" concept and although "white" is part of it it does not, far from it, make the whole group of foreigners ????

Popular Post Colmera Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 All she does is the discuss the obvious when 95 percent of Twitter and Facebook posts are anti government with distortions and other information that may give a different context to events you are not open to other points of views? If you only live in an echo chamber that only repeat your own opinions that does not lead to critical thinking.Please try not to leave childish comments when you reply as it diminishes your response.Have a nice day 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Quote However, she was concerned that the thought process of many youngsters was not fully developed, meaning they could be easily pushed into following others Hasn’t that been the objective of the Thai education system ? Don’t think, just follow your “betters” .......maybe it has just backfired on them when other “betters” arrived on the political scene. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
