Summer Reads Part 4 - a message from the rectorLet’s start with a question. Don’t worry, it’s multiple choice (or, ‘multiple guess’, as I called it at school.) Someone’s political ranting appears on your Facebook page. Do you a. immediately rant back at them, hoping to relieve them of their profound ignorance and foolishness, and save their souls? b. Find yourself kind of agreeing with them, but choose to attack them anyway, because they bat for the other team? c. Calmly say to yourself, “Hmm. I’ve never thought of it like that...” and think deeply about the matter, doing some research to educate yourself? |
