1.07 Critical Thinking Questions

While the media might not directly contribute to discrimination, the media is undoubtedly a significant aspect of modern day society that influences how people think about racial issues (Royce, 2009, p. 1, 17). Many people claim that racism no longer exists; however, the minorities’ struggle with injustice is ubiquitous. Whites are attempting to keep blacks and other minority families locked into an impoverished political and economic position by using various tactics to isolate them, such as mass incarceration that stems from the War on Drugs. The New Jim Crow helps us in seeing how history is repeating itself and how to legalized discrimination among the blacks and Hispanics by implementing the mass incarceration.

The memorandum from Salvador Monella to the Board of Directors addresses the rising costs of employee healthcare benefits at Penn-Mart. His communication includes an explanation of his purpose in addressing the healthcare costs, findings regarding Penn-Mart’s benefits costs, a recommended program to implement for cost reduction, and a discussion containing support for their recommendation. While some business people may be tempted to simply accept the information presented in Mr. Monella’s memorandum, it is my opinion, after reading Browne and Keeley’s Asking the Right Questions (2012), that adopting a critical thinking approach is the most effective way to evaluate the document.

2. In the 21st century exposure to media is an everyday event for most of us. Even at the grocery store, we see magazines and newspapers with eye-catching headings that may not be true. Also, the news is everywhere, and with technology on the rise, we even get news alerts on our phones. The media has taken over society. Most of the stories we read about seem to be true but in reality, are they giving a true insight of what is actually happening? Some of the stories cause people to become blindfolded from reality. This is because the stories that people read or see have a profound impact on shaping our reality rather they are true or not. We see the news about events that are going on in the world; rather they are catastrophic events or devastating events that were done by humans.

Rate each of the following statements as TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer with an example or explanation to prove and illustrate your understanding. DO NOT OMIT THIS PART OF THE TEST. True/False answers can be guessed. But when you defend your answer by example or explanation, you demonstrate not only your memory and understanding but also that you can apply what you have learned. The first question is answered for you.

In this paper I will be answering specific questions about a critical thinking exercise located in the assigned text book. The questions that will be answered include: discussing the problem of the scenario, who the problem belongs to, the actions nurse Witte should take and the mode of communication she should use. Then I will discuss how she can provide a clear message, and to whom the message should be send to first, as well as, all the people that should informed. Lastly, I will explain the type of leadership and management strategies that would be best utilized.

My mother and I is quite similar to one another, except with connection. Mom likes to be surrounded by her family, close friends and dependent on others. The contrast, I am independent but I do like being close to my family and friends.

The main point of Hydroxycut is to help loose weight in a fast amount of time just like every woman wants diamonds, I think that everyone wants that youthful looking body back as well. We all want the energy that we had as a youth and the metabolism as well so that we can eat whatever

Previously we were assigned a critical thinking exercise that consisted of reviewing a PowerPoint over Appendix 14A. Appendix 14A covered different debt restructuring and modification of terms options for companies and how you would go about recording them. The most theoretically challenging aspect of this material for me had to deal with the problem I was assigned in class. I did not understand why there would be no interest expense recorded even though there was a gain. I would assume theoretically that since Barkley is still paying off the note an interest expense would have to be recorded, however, I learned otherwise. An interest expense is not recorded because the payable is only being reduced by an amount

Answer the following questions based on the video we watched. Remember to answer in complete sentences using part of the question in the answer. Make sure you answer all parts of each question. Change your answer to an easy to read color (anything but black).

In our lives there are many different cognitive biases that can interfere with our ability to solve problems and/or make rational decisions. One that I think is especially problematic, and has been for quite some time, is representativeness heuristic. This is defined as the tendency to make judgments about a group membership based on physical appearances or the match between a person and one’s stereotype of a group rather than on base rate information. And essentially, a stereotype is the use of concepts to make generalizations about a group of people. (pgs. 252-253) Stereotyping in this country is, and always has been, a huge problem.

In Chapter 3, there were 12 areas of bias spread across the 3 areas of heuristics. The main theme of the text was to prove that we are predisposed to certain outcomes. As we make important decisions we rely on our memory, or a number of past events, or even ignoring facts. Overall, we are biased in many ways when it comes to making decisions, or predicting outcomes of a particular event.

Hi Whitney! I was wondering if I could write three essays answering three of the questions from the text. I didn't input my voice in the discussion today, and I know I could do a better job addressing the questions in a paper instead of a seminar, if not I totally understand. Have a great Day!

As a student I work hard to get good grades and I am very outgoing. I concentrate during class. Even though I am very busy I study hard for tests and I make sure I take good notes. I study 3 days before the day of the test for 10 minutes. In school I am not afraid to ask questions. If I am confused about something I will ask the teacher to help me. I also participate in class. If the teacher asks the class a question I will do my best to answer it. As a student I am not afraid to speak my mind. I also ask for help when I am struggling with something. I say what I think about a question that was asked. If I don’t understand something I will ask questions without hesitating. Last year in Mrs. Klutz’s class she asked us what we thought about

Write at least 1 page assessing the quality of your notes by answering the following:

Significant collaboration, when collective with establishing well-defined, measurable objectives/ goals and frequently gathering and evaluating a wide assortment of contextualized qualitative and quantitative performance data/information establishes the foundation for outcomes. Schmoker (2010) stresses the significance of practices and principals that are easy, supported by research, as well as comparatively a small amount in number. Such leaders have huge but under-used capability. Educators can instantly offer a better education for every pupil by concentrating unwaveringly on enhanced outcomes and the circumstances that encourage them. In writing this paper, I will discuss what my your thoughts on the following
