If I am to develop my personal critical thinking ability, I must first make a conscious choice to understand the basic concept of a premise and then make critical reflection of this basic concept by expanding my thinking approach. To achieve this, I must ask radical questions that will enhance the scope of analysis and judgment. I must move from the region of subconscious thinking to one of conscious thinking because in so doing, I become aware that I am actually thinking. This awareness will allow me to think beyond rudimentary concepts through critical reasoning and critical reflection to decipher underlying issues that are concealed in the concept under investigation.

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.

Dixie: Amanda, I agree with you that in making personal decisions that I use critical thinking most of the time. It take me time to decide what I want and how the outcome will be.

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.

I definitely agree with you, telling a child that nobody wants to sit with him/her is extremely damaging to that child and it will make them feel that they are not good enough for others to sit and be around with. That is hard to handle for anybody, and even more for a child, especially in school that they desire to be liked by their classmates. Children look up to teachers and when a teacher discourages or embarrasses a student they will drift away and perhaps the desire to learn, explore, or ask questions can be damaged by that one teacher that did not use critical thinking before speaking or

Greek philosopher Socrates left a legacy of critical thinking that shaped the fundamentals of what philosophy is today. It’s worthy to distinguish that such legacy was recorded in history by the writings of some of his students and not by work of his own. Socrates was a curious Athenian whose hunger for knowledge led him to breakthrough a big truth, to an epiphany; as much as he knew, he was still ignorant, but he was aware of his ignorance. The knowing of his own lack of knowledge is what set him apart from the rest of his peers.
