What two strategies or techniques will you use the next time you analyze a concept?

Question

anonymous · Answer

The next time when you analyze a concept, take in mind what point is trying to be made and exactly why it's being made. For instance, lets say you're studying a concept of Hinduism. When you're studying it, what point is there to the concept? I would say the point that's trying to be made in Hinduism is enlightenment and trying to bring yourself closer to Nirvana. Why is it important? It's important because the closer you are to Nirvana the higher in the caste you'll be in the next life, you'll be wiser and closer to the ultimate Nirvana. So try to keep those two in mind, what point and why.

A second strategy would be to break the concept down into little subparts. Find the main idea that is presented in the concept then use the surrounding information to support the main idea so you can find the interconnectedness of the concept and have a better understanding of it as a whole.
