THE WAY OF REASONING

The people want to study in America must obtain the visa from embassy or consultants. In reality, foreign students are difficult obtain the visa. They must persuade the consular officer to grant their visa. The way people think about thing what they consider relevant, true. How they reach conclusion varies according many factor, including our cultural background. The culture influence the way people think about things like article “Cultural and System of Though; Holistic versus Analytic Cognition” by Richard Nisbett. Thus, he said that the American tend to focus on the object and pay relatively less attention to the context in their perceptions and thoughts. In contras to Japanese and other Easterners who pay relatively more attention to the concept. Every country has different how they think about thing. American always speaks and writes direct to the point. They include only the ideas and information directly and obviously related to the topic at hand. They suppose to make their points clear, meaning that they should focus explicitly on the information, they wish convey and downplay the context. American always organizes their mind and plan. Do anything with step by step. The most important element of a proof is the fact. American assumes there are facts of life, of nature, and universe. The most reliable facts, in the American view, are those in the form of quantities specific numbers, percentages, rates, ranking, or amounts. American also accepts information and ideas that arise from their own experience or that of others they known and trust. American regards the sense of sight as the most reliable. This American trust in fact is accompanied by a general distrust of emotion. American is famous for their pragmatism that is their interest in whether a fact or idea has practical consequences. American believes in some theories and in certain rules of logic, of course, but in general they are suspicious of theory and generalizations unless they are associates with specific fact. American tends to believe they can study individual things, place them in categories, and learn how things in the category operate or behave and devise rules for understanding their responses. Some religious Americans ascribe certain kinds of events to God’s will. But these intangible factors are not usually held responsible for what happen to people. American look at the context or the relationship among many objects when they seek to understand causes. In conclusion, foreign in America should know that American will consider them not logical, too emotional or fuzzy minded if they include seemingly irrelevant ideas in their speech or writing. American less attention to the context but if they use speech or write, they always to the point. American also doing something step by step (organization), they make a plan for anything, they also need a fact for support their data or opinion and thinking about cause and effect to anything.
