Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Yesterday I read a piece of news on the internet：in Japan, an investigation found that if you mix models with college students, and go for an interview together, as a result, all the models were accepted. And in the “Q&A” parts, under the same question，if the models answered “ I don’t know“ it would be seen as a honest response. But if the answer of “ I don’t know” came from normal students, the interviewer would think why the guys didn’t know anything. From the investigation, we found that lots of people like to judge someone by outward appearance. We all know that’s unfair, however，unfortunately, such kind of things happen every day. We are always shouting about fairness, but judging from this, it seems that fairness is far away from us. How can we change it from our daily life，we must think about it seriously.
