Last Friday morning, when I left the bus, I met a problem: where should I go? In fact, MOE officers had already informed us that we would have a section in LT23 before that day. However, since I am unfamiliar with the campus, I had no idea where that lecture theater is even though I used the campus map in my phone.
After I left the bus, the first thing I did is gong in the direction which I thought was right and then I look back to see what other students did. My findings were quite interesting because different students have different reactions. To make my findings easier to understand, let me divide them into three groups. The first group of students did not check the schedule. They knew nothing about the alteration in the destination. In other words, they intended to go to LT31 where we used to go. The second group of students knew that they were supposed to go to a different lecture theater, yet they realized that they did not know where is that lecture theater. The third groups of students also knew there was a new destination. Unfortunately, even though they could not ensure their choice is right, they insisted on the wrong target, which resulted a calamity happened later.
Obviously the first group of students went to the LT31 as usual, but others immediately stopped them and told them they should go to LT23. As for the second group of students, they chose to follow others since they have no other good choice, and who they tried to follow were the third group of students. Because LT27 is the lecture theater which we usually visit, they mistook LT27 with LT23. As a result, most students in first bus went to LT27, and my friend and I went to LT23 with some confusion.
According to my experience, such things happened time after time. Though sometime we managed to go to the right place, but have we ever thought of making our own choices, or just being dependent on others? Every time we just chose to follow, and then complained about the guide. This phenomenon actually not only happens on the campus but also our daily life. When confronted with problems, people tend to follow others' choice, and when they are asked to cope with the problem by themselves, they would be hesitated.
I do not even know such interesting things happened
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I was in the third group at that time~
