WE JUST DON’T THINK, WE ANALYZE

In most cases, students (especially those math haters) consider math as a very complex world. The infinite numbers in its numerous forms together with the thousands of operations that can be applied to them only make it a very complicating one. They regard it as a burden which makes their world difficult. They tend to think that this (particularly those higher maths) is not necessary in real life. For example, a student utters words like “What is the purpose of learning to evaluate the integral or derivative of sin3x in becoming a director in the future. It will just add to my pile of unclear and confusing lessons.” As a result, they tend to hate those mathematicians who strive to discover and work with those concepts.
In similarity with politics, the students represent the people, the teachers represent the politicians and the concepts represent the politics. There is always a unique problem derived from the concept. Most of them are is provided with formulae to achieve the correct answers we are all aiming. The solving process requires a step-by-step procedure that sometimes very hard to follow. We cannot arrive at the correct answer if we skip a certain step. We cannot proceed to the whole process without understanding the concepts first. So when chaos meets the solving process, the students tend to loose hope to arrive at the correct one. In the end, the blame is given to the teachers who gave them such problems.Politics, like math, is not really complicated. It is there for purpose. It existed to help us and make our lives easier. We must realize that the problem is also with us. If we seek for the help of those who really know it and work hard for it, we will be able to manage the situation. We will not anymore give the blame to anyone just because we cannot see for ourselves the answers. And if time will come that we begin to get inclined with this, then encountering such problems will not be that hard again because this time we just don’t think, we analyze.
