Criticize The Way People Think And Behave

Be sympathetic to the views of others. It may not be your viewpoint but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Again, I would like to rebut Gee’s claim by adding my belief that the perceived value of the person and or group applying the criticism has a lot to do with the way the criticism can be received to effect change within a discourse. This belief ties in perfectly with the next statement made by Gee, which I shall now address, as within that very same point Gee writes, ‘But what one cannot do is stand outside all discourse and criticize any one or all of them – that would be like trying to repair a jet in flight by stepping outside it.’ In my estimation, Gee’s loses his argument here when he chooses to speak in this all-encompassing term, as by crafting this sentence in such a manner he essentially paints himself into a corner. In our culture any individual or group (regardless of background, religion, education, experience, etc.,) has the right of freedom of speech and as such may freely criticize whatever another person or group

From being independent thinkers to knowing what is right from wrong in our society, however, things are not always as black and white as they seem. Although we might know what is right within our society, our right might be wrong in other societies. We have a democratic society, but others don’t have that luxury. Even though North Korea may be a communist country, South Korea is a democratic country, but they have their own point of view on things, as well do other democratic countries. It is the norm in South Korea and in many other countries to follow the social hierarchy, but when we look at our society, although we always state to respect our elders, we expect respect from everyone whether they’re older or younger. By being exposed to the new culture norms, it would benefit me in understanding how others see

Everybody is entitled to have their own view of the world and how big or smal of an importance something is in their lifes. I know my worldviews are almost never going to be one hundrend persent the same as anyone elses, and that is what makes us who we are. Weather it is religion, family importaneand belif about any subjects. Though it may be difficult to understand other people views, we one day willrespect others views of the world and will be much more open

The two units that I felt I could connect the most to were the mental health and the factors affecting wellbeing unit. I think I was able to connect the most to these units because some of the things that are talked about in the units applied to my life. In mental health and factors affecting wellbeing, we discussed the different factors that can affect our mental health. One example that we talked about was stress, and this is one reason why I was able to relate to the unit. I often have felt stressed therefore, I know the effects it has on our mental health. Another thing that we talked about was how our mental health is affected every day by little things, and, I agree with this statement because I too have experienced

Aristotle was an ancient Greek scientist and philosopher who sought the answer to our existence and the truth of reality. Aristotle was a pupil of Plato, a Greek philosopher who was famous for his theory of forms, but following his (Plato’s) death, he changed his views from Platonism to empiricism. Where Plato thought that true reality was based in what was abstract and intangible, Aristotle instead thought of

People need to ignore the harsh, and often unfair criticism that the world throws at them and make a

Everyone has a different perspectives of how they see or understand the world, it is imperative that people have knowledge concerning of the world, such as the past, the present

Either way there is always a different way to look at an issue. Just because someone sees a point different from someone doesn't mean one of them are wrong. Just remember there's always two different ways to see a object . Today we have conformity that shackles the mind today. Which if someone is not the same or act the same as some people in this world then someone is teased or disowned by people.

The flaws of human nature are many, but one of the biggest is the gullibility, especially in the presence of the supernatural. It is often easy to think that the thoughts or actions of an individual are of their own doing. It is even easier to assume that the range of the mind falls between good and evil. But society is not quite clear and even in fiction, there is always something motivating an action that lingers in the back of the mind of any character. The supernatural in particular is known for its ability to push people to extremes and alter their perception drastically. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it is easy to assume the blind ambition that brews within Macbeth and his wife or the guilt that plagues them following their actions is the biggest motivator. But that is just the surface of the complexity interlaced into this tragedy. Dig further, and it becomes clear that these emotions were not always prevalent in the characters, but were instead prompted by a force so powerful, it toyed with fate and provoked deception until the end; it was the supernatural that fueled the emotions and actions that take up much of the play.

Critical thinking is a vital task that must be done in our everyday lives. In “Becoming a Critic Of Your Thinking” found at criticalthinking.org, Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul explain critical thinking as “the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances”. Even tough there are many different types of methods to achieve a better quality of critical thinking, Dr. Elder and Dr. Paul discuss four specific ones in the article. All strategies, however, force you to put yourself in an uncomfortable and difficult position to develop a better quality of thinking.

     The first thing one must know when handling people is “don’t criticize, condemn, or complain.” When you criticize

“Perspective is power. Alter the way you approach an argument, and you might learn that you sympathize with the opposing view:” a truth that has proven itself to me over the past seventeen years of my life as I have lived in a multi-generational and multi-cultural home. Raised by immigrant Iranian parents and grandparents, I have been exposed to a household divided by religion, social taboos, opinions, and ideas as my parents have integrated themselves into the American culture while my grandparents have stayed steadfast in their Iranian roots. These differences among my family, however, were a blessing in disguise, as they taught me tolerance and how to remain respectful of the people that I live alongside in my family and community regardless

Americans have embraced debate since before we were a country. The idea that we would provide reasoned support for any position that we took is what made us different from the English king. Our love of debate came from the old country, and embedded itself in our culture as a defining value. Thus, it should not come as a surprise that the affinity for debate is still strong, and finds itself as a regular feature of the mainstream media. However, if Deborah Tannen of the New York Times is correct, our understanding of what it means to argue may be very different from what it once was; a “culture of critique” has developed within our media, and it relies on the exclusive opposition of two conflicting positions (Tannen). In her 1994 editorial,

What is critical thinking to you? To some it may mean making wiser choices, taking time to critically analyze a situation, or to just put greater thought in your everyday life. According to Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Pauls’ article, “Becoming a Critic Of Your Thinking”, critical thinking is defined as the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. To us, critical thinking is a very important aspect of life and something we can all improve on. It allows us to think outside the box and put ourselves in others shoes and really look at things differently. We made sure to think about our own thinking habits while discussing these articles and to notice if we were ever being close-minded.
