Critical Thinking Quotes

In the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” society shapes and influences Scout and makes her see the reality of social hierarchy and discrimination in society. For instance, in the text it states, “If there’s just one kind of folks, why can’t they get along with each other? If they’re all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? (Lee 304). Literally speaking, this quote tells us that despite everyone being the same, there is still hate towards others, and discrimination is still present in their society. This quote may suggest and show how Scout is influenced by society and changed into someone more mature, and can now see the disparities and understand the discriminations shown in her society. Another example states, “There’s four kinds of folks in the world, there’s

The quote of “To find yourself, think for yourself” by Socrates. The meaning of this quote is known who you are and think about yourself because if you don’t know about you that means you are thinking about what other people thinking about you. It’s similar to the everyday quote that people always say like be confident about yourself and not worrying about what other people thinking about you of what your style of clothing, personality, your favorites, dislikes, body, face, etc. If you think about what people think of you, you’re not really yourself you’re being someone else that doesn’t fit you. For example, if you like your hair color light brown, but your so called friends told you to change it into red hair and you don’t like red hair

The inspirational quote that really stood out to me was made by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. His quote was "The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today". While I was looking for a quote this one really stood out from the rest. It really got my attention because of how much I can relate to it. I feel like this quote is trying to disseminate the point that when times get tough just take it one day at a time. You don't need to worry about everything all at once, just deal with one thing at a time. If you try and deal with everything all at once, you'll proliferated with a huge amount of stress. You'll end up being overwhelmed with it, and you wont be able to function normally.

As you read Brave New World, trace the following themes and motifs. In column one, put the quote or incident along with parenthetical page citation. In column two, explain HOW the quote helps the reader understand Huxley’s satiric message. (112 points—1st column, one point; 2nd column 1-3 points).

Two attitudes of successful critical thinking, risk-taking, and creativity, when combined are considered crucial for patient self-care advocacy. With creativity, one can find environmental, social, and clinical solutions outside of the usual standards of practice to help the patient achieve Orem ’s idea of self-care independence (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2015). For example, when a patient who received partially compensatory care reveals to the nurse that he feels comfortable conducting an act of self-care that he was unable to previously achieve, the nurse must show risk-taking and creativity to encourage a supervised demonstration of the task. Acts of support such as these allow the patient to develop “self-care confidence” which is

From The Great Learning, I decided to select the following quote: “From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides”. From this, I find that no matter the social standing of an individual, the cultivation of humanity must start from the root of the person. We cannot hope to spread acts of humanity or preach of harmony, if we do not fully understand ourselves. I think it is quite vital that we must first reflect and seek improvement in ourselves before we can change society in a positive manner. It will only be hypocritical if we are to try to fix society, but in actuality, we need it the

The quote “I beg the next generation not to do what people have done for centuries – hate others because of their skin, shape of their eyes, or religious preference. I know what hatred does. I barely escaped what hatred does.” by Robert Clary relates to the Holocaust.First, It's about how if many people do what has happened in the past you will just repeat the Holocaust or the past. Next, the quote talks about how people can be racist. The Holocaust was based around racism because Hitler did not want Jews, Gypsies, etc. Then, the quote says he knows how hatred feels and this is saying he survived and it’s not a good feeling to feel hate.Last, the quote is about how it’s hard to fight hate. Also, how it's painful and harsh to get through it

1. The most important factor responsible for the Earths four seasons is that the Earth rotates around the sun tilted on its axis at a 23.5˚ angle. The axis is always tilted in the same direction which means that for half the year the Northern Hemisphere is pointed more toward the sun and for half the year the Southern Hemisphere is pointed more toward the sun, giving us our seasons. The hemisphere that is facing more directly toward the sun has more direct sunlight and less beam spreading, which makes the sunlight more intense. Variations in solar radiation between the equator and the North Pole would be the smallest on June 21, the summer solstice. In the winter the North Pole would not have close to as much radiation as the

The quote that I chose is “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” -Philippians 4:13 new King James version. I wake up every morning and see this quote on my ceiling, and that's because it motivates me for the day. When I read this quote I think that no matter what is going on in my life, and no matter how hard things get I can get through it as long as i have God by my side. This quote means a lot to me and has had a tremendous impact on my life, for example I have been through a lot of hard times growing up and somewhere in the middle of my hard times I found God and, when I found him everything just seemed to get easier, and things just got better and better and now, my life is amazing.

The quote “no problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” by Voltaire, reminds me that every problem can be solved with time. If you continue thinking, you'll figure it out. I believe this quote was intended to give anyone struggling with a problem, the reminder that there's a solution to everything. It’s easy for a person to accept the hardship of a problem they’re going through and give up. Voltaire wanted to give people the realization that every dilemma can be solved if thought about enough. It might take awhile, but nothing is

Emerson brings up many motivational and inspirational quotes in his essay Self-Reliance. He encourages readers to think for themselves, to trust themselves, to be good, and to not copy others. Emerson states how society has chosen for us rather than we chose what we want. In other words, Americans aren’t original, they don’t rely on themselves. They are afraid of failure, “If the young merchant fails, men say he is ruined.” If a genuis studies in school but does not get a spot in the office, then he or she will lose determination and confidence. On the other hand a person who’s gone to school and tried many professions has a positive chance of leading a better life. Emerson now argues that a self-reliant man needs religion, education, pursuits,

Do you think quotes mean more than just the words they are? Well I do. Especially the quote “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop.” I choose this quote to write about because the second I saw this quote I knew it would be perfect for me. I knew the person who made the quote was very wise, and I knew I wanted a quote by him. I think that the quote means it doesn't matter how slowly you do something, as long as you never give up you can achieve your greatest goals. I definitely agree with this quote because it’s true! An example of this reading. You can decide to stop reading a book you're reading because you’re reading it to slow, or you can keep reading and gain the knowledge and satisfaction that comes from finishing a book.

Can a simple quote change the way we think? The quote “Life goes on,” changed my approach on any trial and tribulation that I may face in life. Those three words may be simple, but can be words to live by. Life is like a road. There are bumps, cracks, and road blocks, but life continues to keep going. Whether we choose to move on and take a chance on the unknown is what matters in the end. If one chooses to stay behind, stuck in the past thinking what could have been it could further hinder the future.

I would say that our instinctive judgments are heavily involved in the ways of knowing, that are emotion and intuition. In the human sciences, scientists have tried to evaluate the fight or flight response. The fight or flight response being the initial gut reaction people have in dangerous or conflicting situations. The fight or flight response, scientists believe, is an old primitive response to danger. Walter Cannon observed this phenomenon in 1915 when studying the digestive process of animals he noticed whenever the animal was afraid there were physical changes in the stomach. These physical changes happen in our body as well, and are a result of the integration of our instinctive judgments and our intuition. After his findings, Cannon concluded that emotion plays a role in our instinctive judgments, or rather that instinctive judgments play a role in our emotion. I agree with him in saying that the psychological arousal and the emotional response happen at the same time. This is why initially a person can get very enraged by something that he sees. In other words, because the arousal and response happen at the same time, this shows a joining of the instinctive judgments and the ways of

So if perception determines how emotional intelligence is viewed, what now? What of it? Well, for starters, emotions are difficult. Difficult to express, accept, process, embrace, appreciate, and especially to own. But just as they are difficult, they are wonderful. Either/or, there is no escaping. For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction. Therefore, we
