Promote critical thinking and constructive
China has recently begun to see the students to learn in school to promote “critical thinking.” In fact, to learn far more than are students.
What is critical thinking? In other countries, many schools have set up “critical thinking” in this course. Can be used to study a semester, but may still learn a lifetime no matter definitely not a word or two will be able to make it clear, so if you go to look for “critical thinking” in the relevant definition can almost use as sleeping pills.
To put it as far as possible the complicated things simpler, in my view, critical thinking is (1) to explore the spirit of truth, promote justice, promote social progress of good will (2) with the initiative and discipline and be able to form habits (3) supported by data and facts (4) After the process of logical reasoning (4) finally be able to have a relatively clear and constructive thinking outcome of thought processes and ways of thinking.
Of critical thinking lies in:
1. Ask the right questions
In many cases, the reason why we did not find the correct answer, because we did not ask the right questions. Vientiane in a complex earth in front of the right questions as the blade, the wrong questions were like throwing feces stick.
For example, Charles Zhang yesterday in a speech referred to “full market economy are not always in the way of the competition, no full and fair market competition, there is no quality, no good, no jobs, no stability, no real China rise. “
I have no objection to this view, but we then have to ask another question: What is the reason in the end led to the incomplete market economy?
However, if we answer this question, we must first be clear: What is the full market economy? To determine whether a market economy, “full” should be the angle from which to observe? Depend on supply and demand to complete the establishment of the pricing mechanism? Free access to the market? Degree of government intervention? Or the full extent of competition in the market?
If the full market economy refers to a fully competitive market economy, then say “no full market economy at the moment to hinder competition,” there is meaning? If you say so does not make sense, then in the end is what is truly hamper full competition leading to our market economy is “not complete” it?
Can be seen, and asked what questions, in fact, has already assured that you think will produce what results. Although questions have been asked, our answer is still not necessarily correct; But if you ask the wrong question, our answer would be meaningless, whether correct or not.
2. Taking into account the many possibilities
Critical thinking requires us to think carefully linearly with time as much as possible, exhausting all possibilities to avoid the logical omissions, or into the mindset of the dead.
For example, when we read about the director Hu Mei “” Affan up “is by” Confucius “speculation” remarks, we can easily produce the “Hu Guide okay” conclusion (in fact, is not the conclusion is only a first For a time the feeling), but we should not be directly, without thinking of “Affan up by Confucius speculation,” the possibility of strangling in the cradle. Affan would like to understand why we need to reach will not be able to speculation by Confucius back to our original conclusion: Hu guide all right?
Another example is a lot of people on the opening up of China under the WTO's ruling on the film market to determine the next 36 months, China's film market will gradually move towards an open, and then assume that these will benefit the theater box office, opening up growth. However, we thought of another possibility that the content of the review with the relevant authorities in the pretext of “Guan Da-fang small”, small piece multi-release, set up large tracts of the layers of resistance, thereby ensuring that Chinese-made films at the box office total occupy half of the objectives under the guidance of the box office in fact limit the growth of the market?
For another example, said that the GEM price-earnings ratio will come down whether the person considered in the context of the rough hot money GEM listed companies the possibility of a long-term imbalance between supply and demand? And say that the GEM can be singing all the way and whether the person considered in the future because certain companies listed on GEM performance of fraud scandal burst resulting in confidence in the market as a whole in the face of unexpected events the possibility of collapse?
3. Refused to freewheeling dare to reverse and challenges
Critical thinking is characterized by a refusal to the core along a preconceived notion of inertia moved forward, dare to reverse thinking, dare to jump out of the box, dare to challenge and cross-examination of the Prophet with the mainstream, dare to say the emperor naked.
For example, many of us to see China in the past 20 years, growth in GDP brilliant automatically accept the “rise of great powers” at all. However, Han Han made to buck the trend “and so on, after China's real estate collapse of the Chinese really look at the rise of great powers,” point of view.
Another example is a lot of people are recognizing the Spring Festival Evening fewer and fewer people watching at the same time also a “cultural tradition” and “new folk” and nothing to the floating of the excuse that the Spring Festival Evening definitely will never gone out of existence. In a five thousand years of civilization, a place where less than three decades traditional things why we will certainly not be out of business? When there are only 60 years old Spring Festival Evening viewers are still watching when the Spring Festival Evening not that one of today's opera party?
China today is an urgent need for more critical thinking, critical thinking, but does not mean that critical thinking. Both in the official context or in the private sector, are all around us filled with a lot of critical thinking, rather than critical thinking.
Critical thinking is rational, logical, logical; critical thinking is then piled up with large concepts and labels to come out, and its internal logic is often confusion, the external representation are often not defined or even unintelligible. Critical thinking is a moderate and constructive; critical thinking is often extreme, fierce, anxious to see who shot who destroy the whole world collapsing. Critical thinking is an equal and powerful, large hidden in the invisible; critical thinking are often put on a commanding driving is actually a weak, the sound can be large, but not cover inner pale with embarrassment.
We promote critical thinking, it does not expect all the critical thinking we used to think things will be in line with our desire to immediately result. But the world of things to do out bit by bit. We hope that our intelligentsia, academia, media and opinion leaders can in good faith and sincerity, and to show more of a critical thinking, not just to give us their shoulders, carrying the head of that incident, more in order to right an open and free civil society in China, have contributed to the formation.
