Critical Thinking

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.

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

Critical thinking is something I use on a daily basis as a nurse. To think critically, you recognize an issue, collect data, gather information to support it, analyze that data, evaluate it, and decide what to do about it. According to Creasia & Friberg (2011), “nursing education is shifting from a purely problem-solving approach to one in which critical reflection mediates the relationship between knowledge and action” (p. 215). As a nurse, you learn all of the “skills” throughout the years, but you also need to learn how to assess a situation and possibly make a quick decision, which is critical thinking. Critical thinking ability has been significantly correlated with nursing competence (Chang, Chang, Kuo, Yang, & Chou, 2011, p. 3228).

Understanding how and why individuals change their mind can give humans a big advantage at perceiving information on a complex level. Big History gives us different answers to various questions and they want us to find the correct answer. We can find the right answer by using the four claim testers: authority, logic, evidence, and intuition. Individuals change their mind from time to time based on the new information that becomes available to them at different times and therefore they start questioning the validity of the existing theories and find new answers to the original questions.

The first concept I learned when enhancing my critical thinking in inductive generalizations is the research design, which is an important concept when using scientific procedure. The order of the research design is first is starts with a question, which are the characteristics of interest concerning a target population (Diestler 2012). The second concept is the hypothesis a speculation about what will be discovered from a research study (Diestler 2012). The third concept would be the sample, which are members of the target population who are studied by a research (Diestler 2012). The fourth concept would be a control group, which is a group of subjects from the sample who get no treatment or a placebo and are thus a test benchmark (Diestler

A significant issue that plagues the retail sector is how to effectively utilize its labor force. Finding the perfect balance of scheduled staff members is tricky and can be costly to a retail firm if a schedule is not well planned. Big data technology helps to simplify the scheduling problem by analyzing the factors that affect labor needs and developing an efficient labor schedule.

“What do you think you will learn in this class” is a commonly asked question among teachers. It’s an important question, it helps teachers know what to focus on in class, and what the students are interested in. it’s always been a hard question for me because I used to think “duh, I think I’ll learn about ethics and religious culture, what more do you need?” or something along those lines. But recently I’ve learned the deeper meaning of questions like this. It’s meant to teach kids that their education is in their hands, whether they like it or not. Sure, you have to expect something from your teachers, they have a responsibility to teach you, but you can’t expect them to know what you need. You need to help them

This case begins on June 7, when John Schmidt, an employee, injured his hand severely while operating a table saw in the production shop. Mr. Schmidt claims he was following standard operating while operating the table saw and since he followed proper operating procedures while the table saw was operational; therefore, the company is legible for his injuries. Mr. Schmidt claims assert the table saw has a faulty design was unsafe. David Donald, the company manager, contends the table saw was safe to operate as the shop supervisor, Harry Hiller, informed him. Mr. Hiller asserts that the table saw was in excellent operational condition. Mr. Hiller states the table saw maintenance check has been complete on a regularly basis and could produce the written records. Mr. Hiller contends he witness Mr. Schmidt joking, laughing and goofing around with another co-worker. However, other employees also claim while in spite regular maintenance on the table saw, it was unsafe as the safety guard was designed poorly which it did not function proficiently. He also claims he voiced his concerns to

According to the website, FactsForLife.org, “The first five years of a child's life are fundamentally important. They are the foundation that shapes children's future health, happiness, growth, development and learning achievement at school, in the family and community, and in life in general. Recent research confirms that the first five years are particularly important for the development of the child's brain, and the first three years are the most critical in shaping the child's brain architecture. Early experiences provide the base for the brain's organizational development and functioning throughout life. They have a direct impact on how children develop learning skills as well as social and emotional abilities.”

Over time society and technology change, and so do our skills in almost about everything, for instance our survival skills. Learning to think critically and creatively, is the scientist’s uttermost skill to have. Scientists are able to correctly repeat data, identify problems, record observations, and plan experiments. Critical thinking is when you confront or approach a problem by making observations, ask questions, and use logic. Scientists use critical thinking, in problems that occur in their experiments. As a result of using critical thinking, in the problems we face everyday, it will help solve your problems.

Having important decisions in life can be very stressful and sometimes you have to evaluate all possible outcomes. The process of analyzing all outcomes of a problem is considered critical thinking. “Critical thinking is that mode of thinking — about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it.” (TCTC.) A person also creates their own kind of thinking through cognitive bias. It refers to the systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may alter the idea. Individuals create their own social reality from their perception of the situation.
