week1 Q2

Do you believe everything people tell you? Why or why not?
For instance, when your friend tells you that working as a part-time waiter in a fancy restaurant will get you a lot of money, how would you respond?

No, I will choose the message that I think is reasonable enough or find out the evident before I believe people’s words. Because people tend to be fuelled by public opinion and they will easily lose their own thoughts under the influence of media or biased remark. Thus, establishing independent thinking ability and cultivating the sensitivity to diverse opinions are both important capacity that we have to be equipped with when we are judging things.
If my friend tells me that kind of thing, I would say, “Though earning money is the main purpose of taking part-time, I still want to learn some useful knowledge and make a good use of my profession rather than selling my labor or even my body.”
