I would argue that ignorance is the rule across all age groups. Being a member of the 22-35 group myself and a relatively recent university grad, I can state with confidence that even those my age with degrees are more often than not every bit as guilty of forming opinions based on the particular dogmas of their time. Yesterday's preachers area today's crackpot humanities professors. | ||

If you've got a 100 million fund then 25k is peanuts. Put a 25k bet on, watch the markets soar on the updated bookies odds, sell a few stocks (or some currencies) - bingo you've made far more than 25k. | ||

A good democracy doesn't consider that 51% of voters = whole nation, it seeks compromise between the different involved parties - notice, btw, that minority rights is a very "democracy" thing. Of course, that's difficult to do when the whole campaign is shallow and stupid. | ||

I know the ceo of GMS made a statement regarding it but i don't know the extent to which London will be impacted. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-19/-big-bang-to-brexit-the-city-of-london-fears-end-to-golden-age Read that it answers your question perfectly. | ||

Discussion These results indicate that whilst some students generally feel confident in their understanding of some aspects of critical thinking and how to apply these skills in an academic context, there is a significant portion of students who do not. In fact,almost half the students were unable to express confidence in their understanding of all the factors relating to understanding critical thinking.

Furthermore, a comparison of the self assessment of critical thinking will be matched with an assessment of a subsequent literature review, which will be tutor assessed but meh, i don't really have time for this so i'll just post (one of)my conclusion. - you have people(about 20%) who function based (mainly)on the insula and anterior cingulate cortex(cognitive conflict and processing conflicting information). -you have people who function based (mainly)on the amygdala(about 40%)(fear region). (the rest ~37%(3% study error), the moderates, can and do use all those brain regions in varying %). what happened here is that those 20% failed to address the fears of those 40% but even if they were to try that, they'd fail because those fears were grounded in reality and i.r.l > words. Edit: and, there is no way you are using critical thinking now. | ||

It's interesting research, thanks for sharing, little sidenote; people that finished higher education =! students.And with youth, I refer to peopl up to 35, students are a tiny margin there. Also, there's a ton of different of different interests for young people to stay in the EU. Lastly, keep the ad hominems to reddit. Makes me not care about your post. | ||
