Confucius came to tell us he was not trying to understand the questions but what was sought to know the answers. Not that I have to blame the philosopher with that phrase implying that laid the first stone, but at least it would recognize that over time we have been taking the sentence to the letter. Why say this? Because we are gradually throwing question marks and everything in them to surrender the monopoly of declarative sentences.
is something we try to be conformed and from our earliest childhood when we are bombarded with multiple exercises in parsing where the object of study is in almost all cases a phrase that says, rarely a phrase that and rarely refuses a phrase that question. It is as if a hand in the shade to talk aims to educate while we listen as you listen to fools, not to be able to say no and to never, ever, ever do that surely questions might be uncomfortable. The height of what happens in language classes in schools and colleges is that the only questions that deserve some consideration and study as literary figures, the rhetoric, are nothing more than a reaffirmation of some idea or thought.
not easy to gauge the weight that this type of formal education is in the process of abandonment of the wording and asking questions, something that educators have much to say. The fact is that if next to this fact are considered models of social education which encourages our children and young people who do not know if they have not been asked before and not ask questions, irrelevant or not, we find that it is shaping people to be perfect but unable to answer machines or something so little ability to important as demand answers and show a critical attitude towards their surroundings. The tangible evidence is found in just how insatiable curiosity of the youngest, with its battery of questions, always hungry for knowledge: a generalized critical sedentary lifestyle in which, unlike what happened in the early stages of life not looking for someone to ask, but someone who will listen.
For these reasons, I think we should do something to restore the prestige and questions that deserve consideration, would be very suitable for the social health care. Yes, we take the habit of asking questions, all that are needed, taking advantage of the wide variety of them we have at our disposal: the easy, difficult, which need no response, which we hope will not be answered, the we would not like to let us, the impertinent, the unwelcome, the awkward, delicate, which put the nail on the head, which put the red face, which blush, which made her blush (attention to the three questions that make up this trio, which, although similar in name and share the coloring of the vermilion are not the same type of question) and so forth.
also not forget the trick questions, those whose sentence is merely a decoy and that allow us to obtain indirect information that would get difficult if you raise the matter explicitly.
I raise a little anecdote which occurred during a French class, time has. I put in a situation. The manual of the subject was accompanied by a workbook that blessed chance, contained in últimas páginas un anexo donde figuraban las soluciones de todos los ejercicios propuestos. Transcurridas algunas semanas desde el comienzo del curso, la profesora… iba a decir que intuía, pero no, más bien tenía la certeza, y con razón (existe una probabilidad mínima de que todos los alumnos realicen la tarea siempre de forma perfecta, ustedes dirán), de que estábamos recurriendo al anexo a la hora de afrontar la resolución de los ejercicios, así que un buen día decidió plantearnos una pregunta trampa con la que no pretendía otra cosa más que obtener una declaración inculpatoria que nos vinculara a esa particularísima técnica de estudio: "Hoy no tengo ganas de corregir los exercises. Can you tell me what page are the solutions? ". In other words, the very cuca wanted to cajole with the confession that ridiculous question he had long coveted. The fact is that as a good student who was, replied that the three hundred twenty-five." So in three hundred twenty-five, huh? "snapped, with the very expensive to put a female leopard to locate prey should hunt to feed their hungry offspring (I set my library to include in its jurisdiction Internal yelled "gotcha!"). He then opened the exercise book and began to turn the pages with great pause and pageantry, with a regal air and ceremonial. And so followed this good woman for a while, until about the time he realized that they had gone two hundred pages of the book and scarce that as a result of that loop unconscious where he had entered his right hand would sacándole finishing shine to dull white of the pasta itself. It is priceless to see how he struggled to keep his face reflecting the rictus of chagrin contained all these could guess.
What I come to say this rant is that by stating trick questions must tread lightly, because, otherwise, we might be putting on notice interrogated, and then it would not at all far-fetched the possibility that we had just with your ass in the air.
Anyway, the same is said of knowledge (which does not take place) could be applied to ask. Ask, ask, and I already counted.
