About critical thinking lecture

The critical thinking lecture that was given by Amanda Strong showed us some general ideas about critical thinking.The main point that I got from the lecture is how to analyze the sources of information.Amanda introduced us about ordinary categories of information sources and prepared a lot of questions which are very useful to guide us finding out the importance of konwing that where does the information come from,who makes it,what's the purposes of making this information,what kind of information it is,what kind of ways that author uses to attract audience and is the information credibility ect.From all the works we did in the lecture,I got to konw what critically is and I'm trying to use cratical thinking when I do some reading.It's really useful.I don't konw that it's the first time Amanda give lecture like this or not,but I found that she was a little bit nervous,maybe because of the camera problem.To be very frank,I didn't enjoy the lecture very much,it's too long and a little bit boring.Or it may because that I didn't prepared well for listening this long lecture.( Altough I really enjoy the long lectures about health problems that was given by Owen.)But no matter what, still thanks Amanda Strong gave us a lot of useful information about critical thinking.

Differences of between man and woman.




I enjoy watching this video.It explains scientific study in a very interesting way and uses a series of experimentes to lead us thinking about differences between man and woman.In my opinion,studying the differences between man and woman is not to compare and choose which one is better,the purpose of this study is that understanding more different characteristics of man and women to make them get along with each other easily.According my own experience,my parents used not to treat me as a girl,they asked me keep main characteristics of girl's and also absorbed some good traits of boy's such as thinking rationally,be strong and brave.Before I watch this video,I never noticed that women speak so indirectly and men are so active in party.It's very interesting to observe that as a outlier.

Women in Power:Finding Wardrobe Balance

In artical 'Women in Power: Finding Wardrobe Balance' in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,author focus on the dressing style of high-ranking women in policy and business.More and more female leaders play important role in society,due to unwritten rules,"their appearence at work should be attractive but not alluring,feminine but not girly,strong but not severe." Based on the premiss of doing busniess---look good,women leaders have to keep balance between their daily dress and working dress.As a result,female leaders are more difficult than male to find out suitable dress for working. Many business women consider to choose practical dress ,such as suits and jackets,and not wear make-up which is more convenient for working.Fashion designers also devote to find vaiously suitable designs for women leaders.


In my opinion,dress should not be a trouble that bloke women doing well with their job.Appearence is important to show style and features of a person,but it's not the principal factor that can measure achievements and abilities.As a woman leader, you should wear nice which means wearing the cloth suit yourself in an official situation.It doesn't need to be very expensive and perfectly.Even though your dress isn't very nice,if you do a wonderful job,people will get a good impression on you instead of first sight.Consequnently,be clean and smiling which is the best make-up for women,working hard and trying your best to deal with problems intelligently,you'll succeed and win a beautiful voctory in your career.
