"To be or not to be, that is the question" (Shakespeare 1). William Shakespeare's famous line has continued to influence speakers' or writers' decisions to make certain claims. Weinstein and Finn expressed that "teachers" (121) contribute to "the confusing use of 'I'" (121). Weinstein and Finn stated that the use of "I" is "far too often forbidden" (121) in classes. Wienstein's and Finn's claim on the use of "I" are realistic in many ways. For example, I had to be careful and considerate in the use of "I" when I was in a meeting. If I used "I" to express something, I might omitted the contributions of others even though "other" people might not contribute to the group work. However, it was "me" that did the most, if not, all of the work. To appease the others, I ended up using "we" and "ours" to make false claims about what did not happen
Thank you so much Hau, for sharing an incredibly well organized and thought out video. I can tell you genuinely care about teaching and making sure that the content you're teaching is grasped by the students. It makes me happy to know there are great people like you in this world. You are very well educated about how the importance of teaching and personal connections makes a difference in people's lives.
