Organic Critical Thinking

Critical thinking has an important role in learning and development because if properly executed it allows me to see the entire situation instead of the individual task. I plan to take the necessary actions to determine the task with open eyes and an unbiased approach. Remembering the facts about the situation can help in resolving the issue. Understanding by reiterating the problem can help me further comprehend. Applying then analyzing the tasks and or situations so I can prepare the steps to come to the evaluation. I can see if the resources are accurate and thorough. The last thing I should be able to do to assure my critical thinking skills are complete is a form of creating. I take all the information of this situation, and use it in my final resolution. These steps are crucial in the ability to think clearly and not be clouded by biased information.

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.

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 attitude towards this would be the feelings, beliefs and behaviour tendencies towards this, for example praying, reading the holy book,

After reading " CLUES to Critical Thinking" in chapter 5, I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to allow Law enforcements to strip search an arrested individual who had only committed a minor offense. The Fourth Amendment clearly states that, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. Unreasonable can be defined as not guided by or based on good sense, which in this case, strip searching an individual for a minor offense can be seen as unreasonable. The only time a cop should be able to strip search you is when the officer has a reasonable suspicion that you are either carrying contraband or an illegal weapon, that is what strip searches are for. It is not

What did you already know about Critical Thinking: Making Inferences and Analyzing the Author’s Message? Respond to each concept. What did you already know about making inferences? What did you already know about analyzing the author’s message?

I explored on shadowing and drawing in one point perspective for buildings, as well as shadows for the street lights. The risk taking I did was shadowing everything and adding value to it, as I wasn’t very sure I would do a good job on adding value to buildings. I used my creativity and expressed my artistic voice by adding street lights onto the sidewalks instead of leaving them bare and made the sky at night time instead at sunset or the afternoon, as I usually prefer night time over day time. I used a reference for drawing the street lights as I wasn’t sure if I should use a normal looking one or one that looked fancy, so I mixed the two and made the street light that I currently have. I noticed that not many people made their artwork set during night time, so I feel that doing that, as well as adding smaller details on my drawing made it stand out.

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.

My dad’s car broke down one day, and when I arrived to pick him up there was an individual speaking with him who eventually asked me, “So what is your major?” I explained I was in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program at The Ohio State University, and I was hoping to pursue a PharmD to become a Pharmacist. He responded with a chuckle asking, “Why does a Pharmacist have to go to school for so long, simply to greet the customer, fill out their prescriptions, and send them along?” I did not know how to respond, seeing as I did not have the Pharmacy foundation I do now. His curiosity led me to explore all prospects the career can lead to.

I believe my curiosity and interest in health helped lead me to medicine. My parents and close family members still laugh about how my most used word is why. I like to know where things come from, how they are made, and why they function the way they do. One of the questions that lingered in my mind during my high school years was why none of the medicines or treatments I took, eased the pain of my daily migraines. With the encouragement of my dad, who works at a pharmaceutical company, I decided I was going to be a pharmacist. I was going to study drugs and the active ingredients and how they affected the body. I loved science and I even went to pharmacy camp. But, as I shadowed and learned more about pharmacy, I realized I didn’t want to be a pharmacist. Drugs seemed interesting, but I was more stimulated by human body processes. As I sat in anatomy and physiology courses I remember thinking that the human body and its ability to compensate and respond to its environment was amazing. I also wanted the capacity to impact and change lives. While pharmacist can have some patient interaction, physicians have access to the direct and influential role in patient care that I

Why did I pick the illusive big idea instead of I Can't Think? Both topics describe my present state, I've been sick since July of this year and doctors are still trying to get to the bottom of it. Tests and referrals to specialist eclipse the day to day deluge of things that normally prevented introspection of any real meaning. So, no I can't think, but I know the answer to that question and it is more of a blurb, in fact, a short obituary for existential thought. Vanities, vanities, all is vanity, King Soloman said and he is right, "there is nothing new under the sun". All is plagiarism, watch the movie with Leo decaprio, using the germination of an idea as a weapon. Inception, is the name of the movie and its plot is simultaneously

In my Critical Thinking class I learned of many ways to think and view the world. This course gave me a better understanding of my mind as well as the minds of my peers. I have developed plenty abilities in critical thinking but only three are important. They are the abilities to think critically, the ability to see from more than one perception, and the ability to think for myself.

In selecting a career, every person follows certain drives, justifications, and guidelines. A variety of factors influenced my choice of pharmacy as a career. Having observed countless drug-drug and drug-body interactions, volunteering as a pharmacy technician and in different positions in healthcare, I was able to see the impact pharmacists have on patient lives and the mutual love they have for their patients. I was pleased to see the effect pharmacists have on the quality of care their patients receive. My lifelong goal was to find a career that would allow me to work directly with the public and make a difference.

Education plays an imperative role in developing these skills. Young and Warren (2011), in their review of the education literature, stated that a number of cross-sectional research studies have shown that a student’s critical thinking ability can improve while at college. While Parcarella and Terenzini (2005) approximate that a student can improve their critical thinking skills by 63% by the end of their sophomore year. According to Hurt (2007) these skills must be developed consistently, purposefully and rationally over time to enable students to appropriately respond to the intricate issues that the working environment

Critical thinking essentially refers to an evaluative and purposive means of arriving at judgments (Stratton, 43). Moreover, critical thinking is the application of reason and reflection in order to form judgments by assessing or evaluating ideas, values, topics or themes, and perspectives (Mason, 4). Our main objective in exploring critical thinking in this research discussion is to apply concepts in the analysis of a character from a film. The succeeding discussion is an analysis of Tessa, a character from the film The Constant Gardener using concepts of heuristics, Systems 1 and 2 thinking, and logical fallacies. In the film, Tessa displays critical thinking in the way that she makes plans to accomplish her goals and objectives but

consists of being able to delve into the abyss of knowledge, constrained by our imagination and resources. Curiosity involves asking questions; lots of them. The more you ask, the more you know. This leads to unanswered questions that need to be presented and thus leads to a better understanding of what you are questioning. Being curious allows you to keep looking for information that could lead to better results and a better understanding, or to a solution(s) that have not presented themselves.
