We had another phychology test today. My drawing was like... 'Me'. I mean, I seem to think I am center of my life because I drew a very big house covering most of paper. It was interesting, but it's not as reliable as yesterday's test. How big the presence of parents or myself is hard to measure and abstract ideas.
Then we discussed Barna. I think the biggest block out of six Barna mentioned is High Anxiety caused by Language Problem. When I went to New Zealand I had such a trouble. One of the students said to me several times that he couldn't understand what I was saying. I became anxious about being said like that again and it was hard to talk to him since then. This case usually happens.
We also discuss preconception. Rab picked up one preconception that 'the black runs fast'. There maybe some nurtural reasons, but I think it's caused by a natural factor. If black people run fast because they walk a long distance, what about ancient people? They had no vehicles and had to walk a long distance for food, but ancient Japanese had very short legs. I don't think the difference comes from a nurtural reason.

Ancient Japanese didn't walk a long way for food - they were farmers!
ReplyDeleteI mean, before farming. Before farming, not only Japanese but almost all human beings walked for hunting, gathering and fish catching to survive, right?
