Week 3

Dear students,

Yesterday we learned about framing in decision making. How would you see a problem in decision making? Accuracy in setting up your frame of reference ensures the quality of your decision making. How would you ensure that yours is the accurate one? Yes by seeking information as much as you can.

Yes, the question of expertise is very relevant here. Those who achieve that level possess an accurate frame of mind as all his or her experiences enrich his/her ability in making decisions. And the issue of sharing the frame to ensure a good group decision making, we learned about the very important practice of exchanging views and ideas with each other. Having a common culture looks like solving the problem of having conflicting ideas, but it may not be necessarily true as different individuals construct their own unique experience in life, so the frame may not be exactly similar.

I am sure that everyone enjoyed watching the slideshow called 'The Window' and 'Optical Illusion', didn't you? The window tells us to have the right frame of mind before judging others and the optical illusion illutrates the importance of being alert in detecting signs that distort your frame of thinking. I noticed that everyone was looking very interested during the slideshows. And thank you as well for giving the big hand as your sign of appreciation.

Please begin your assignment as soon as possible. See you next week. AZM
