Pluralism and creative holism as personal preference

While I am fully supportive of the protesters' ultimate goals in general, I have disagreement with their tactics; I also notice that there are people who see things only from one perspective: e.g. fully support the police (and never suggest the police may have done something wrong sometimes..) and anything against the law must be wrong (based on what they say; they never say things from another perspective). There are people who are multi-perspective and there are people who choose to see and complain things only from one perspective.  I much prefer and recommend the multi-perspective stance in problem-solving and investigation personally, and there is a also strong theoretical basis for pluralism and creative holism.

My mother is not recognized in dissertation assessments

Recently, I have had difficulties to supervise 1 or 2 final year dissertation project students; one of them complained that he is busy and he is not supposed to do dissertation as a scholar, etc. I smell some cheating acts involved... Anyway, students are customers; and I am not paid to force students to learn. I give advices in dissertation meetings. Students can then decide what they are going to do next. At the end of the day, I do the first marking... and I need to make it clear: I do not even recognize (or give face to) my mother when I do the marking of dissertation reports . I will not consider factors such as you are busy or you are just a part-time student, etc...
