Zakaria: China strategy is to wait out Dalai Lama - CNN.com - 0 views

  • Why is Tibet such a hot-button issue for China?
    • anonymous
       
      Here is the guiding question. Why is this issue not resolved one way or another?
  • So who's right?
    • anonymous
       
      Really, so how do we know who is right?
  • And Tibetans see
    • anonymous
       
      And the Tibetans have a different perspective. Notice how the basic assumptions of their approaches don't match. China is in a power and control paradigm and Tibet is in a cultural preservation paradigm.

  • China sees the issue
    • anonymous
       
      China has one perspective...
  • It's not so simple
    • anonymous
       
      If the issue is ongoing, it's always because it's never "so simple."
  • he Chinese have claimed
    • anonymous
       
      A knowledge claim.
  • The Tibetans, however, reject that claim
    • anonymous
       
      A counterclaim...
  • Well, that depends on who you ask.
    • anonymous
       
      Great TOK answer.
  • However
    • anonymous
       
      Telltale "counter-claim" transitional word. Whenever you see "however" someone is raising a point that contradicts the one previously mentioned.
  • Why hasn't there been any resolution?
    • anonymous
       
      Again, restating the original driving question.
  • Will it work?
    • anonymous
       
      Prediction based on hypothetical futures. If the Chinese do _________ then ________. HOWEVER... If the Tibetans do ________ then _________.
  • Do you think
    • anonymous
       
      Now comes personal opinion. Now that the issues, past and present have been aired, what does Zakaria think of it all.
  • What's the stumbling block that keeps them from finding resolution?
    • anonymous
       
      Again, returning over and over again to the guiding question. What is the stumbling block? Why isn't this solved already?
  • the difference in perception between the two sides
    • anonymous
       
      Here is the root issue...a problem of perception between the two groups. The one warning here, is that "perception" here is not used in exactly the way it is used in TOK as a Way of Knowing, as in sense perception.
  •  
    A great little interview on the current situation between China and Tibet and why it remains unresolved. Outlines knowledge issues and current problems well for TOK oral presentations.
