Adopt Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a skill that can be developed by learning over time. Using critical thinking is about having the ability to comprehend and push for answers. It works best with a positive attitude, and a will to learn (Bethel University, 2013).

Beliefs, attitudes and values are three little words that have and make a massive impact on who we are as individuals, who we are as people, and even how the world is viewed by ourselves and others. A belief is something that individuals or groups think, such as believing in a god. Where a Value would be the living life in the ways a religion expects, this value will be made from the belief that the person or group has in their God.

The Purpose of this paper is to apply the 10 steps developed by (Browne & Keeley, 2010) and I will apply those methods on the following memo. A memo was drafted by Ms. Mary Ford (personal communication, January 30, 2012) who is Director of Amalgamated Public Employees Union (APEU) Local No. 121 to Mr. Hector Fuentes the President of APEU Local No. 121 on the issue on New Mexico State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Outsourcing, proposed by the New Mexico Governor Gloria Gainor.

In the book “Asking the Right Questions, A Guide to Critical Thinking” M. Neil Browne and Stuart M. Kelley discuss the ten steps to critical thinking. In the following pages I will apply these steps to a memo that was sent to Mr. Robert Shaw of Triad Insurance Company of Indianapolis and discuss them in detail. The memo was from Ms. Denise Khali, Vice President of Human Resources. D. Khali, personal communication, October 04, 2010.

When the Judge admonished the Jury, he told them they must reach a unanimous decision beyond a reasonable doubt. The "hero" of this movie appears to be Henry Fonda, the first juror to vote "not guilty". He kept challenging the evidence by saying "isn 't it possible?"...that the evidence was wrong. Do some critical thinking on this...using a good paragraph answer if "isn 't it possible?" is the same thing as "beyond a reasonable doubt." Start with a “yes” or “no” and then eleaborate.

In today’s current school systems, the question of whether or not schools are correctly teaching students the right curriculum is coming up for debate. In the Article,"Teaching Critical Thinking by Marcia Clemmitt, she goes into extensive research of the U.S. Department of Education’s crisis of standardized testing. Most learning activities include standardized testing which lacks many students to express creative and critical thinking. Critical thinking is defined as the examination and evaluation of ideas, events and arguments in their contexts which introduces students to interrogate assumptions and identifying biases (Clemmitt)Pure critical thinking involves investigating a text more than just memorizing, but to apply theirself in other ways of techniques, meaning schools should stimulate more analytical methods of teaching. This would not only free students from a sheltered test culture,but will allow students to think in a deeper,more passionate way than before.

In the beginning he was apprehensive. I honestly think he had a preconceived notion of me. I could tell because in the middle of the conversation he started talking about how people are all the same and that color doesn't matter it is about the inside. He made these statements randomly. I'm an open minded person and was accepting of his views. If I didn't agree I would kindly debate with him as to why I don't have the same perspective. My approach to him made him feel more comfortable. In conclusion, he loves classical music. Classical music helps him relax when he has a stressful day. He talked quit a bit. I did not have to say much for him to engage in the conversation. I realized that it was more of a one sided conversation than anything

As I was reviewing my Clifton’s Strengthsfinder 2.0 results, I was concerned about not finding a connection in respects for having a link for others. Although I may not have empathy as a strength, I believe that my Restorative talent is an essential aspect of finding connections. A restorative person is an individual who likes dealing with problems. In my career, I am surrounded by individuals who encounter stressful situations. Students are frequently looking to me as a leader to resolve their issues and obstacles that they may face. To solve student problems, I need to make a connection with these students. A student that is not comfortable with me may never express what is wrong without a personal relationship. As a restorative person

My teachers didn’t promote critical thinking, maybe it was because they don’t really care they just want their cheek, and to move on with their lives. Don’t get me wrong I had some teachers that did teach with critical thinking in mind, and they were amazing.

As a future professor and researcher, data analysis and statistics are two functions that I will need to be able to perform. Broadly, this course will prepare me to perform both data analysis and statistics. Being able to conduct statistical analysis on SPSS is a good foundation to have as a researcher. After conducting these analyses, it is crucial to be able to interpret them. There are also supplementary benefits of learning data analysis and statistics. Learning these skills will help me to become a more advanced critical thinker. Having strong critical thinking skills will help me as I manage a classroom in the future. Specifically this could come to play when I am teaching undergraduates and attempting to answer their questions. As a

A critical thinker goes beyond than just memorizing word by word what is read or taught; in other terms we need to learn the objective of the lesson and be able to apply it in any future situations. The ability to become a critical thinker will not only benefit you as a student but it will give you the skills needed to exceed in your future career.
