Using critical thinking skills to make inferences

Hi all!

This is your little online task. Watch the clip closely, as many times as possible until you can draw inferences from the movie clip. Kindly leave your inferences in the comments column. The clip is taken from a movie scene, "Office Space". Good luck!

Question:
you mean by drawing out the inferences, is it to draw it out or write down

Cyen: Another meaning for "draw" in this context is to illicit, or to generate inferences and apparently, you are expected to leave your inferences in the comments column. So, good luck people! :-)

Interesting movie clip,Miss Angel!!
After watching the clip,i can make a few inferences.The movie clip shows just how cold and insensitive staffs can be when they have lots to do.The busy staff ignored the plump,bespectacled staff who suffered out of lack of working space as he had lots of work in his mind.He had forgotten that the other staff have equally lots of works to do but unable to do so due to restricted office space. Had the busy staff shown a little more attention and concern about the other staff, both of them could have work much more smoothly,which include the plump staff being able to resume work and the busy staff being able to work without any telephone interuptions. The clip also shows just how lazy staffs are nowadays in communications.The two staffs were merely separated by a thin, short wall on which they could just stand up and talk to each other.However,they did not do so and instead,used the phone for the medium of their communications.

Conclusions:Staffs are so busy sometimes until they can be so ignorant,lazy and self-centered.

When I watch this movie clip, I have two point of view. First is that they are too busy and the second is that our world are now in a phone zone, which they only use phone to communicate instead of face to face as they are just near each other. So I also agree to what michelle said.

P.S I also think they are lazy
