One of the specific feature of critical thinking that I would like to talk about is keep an open mind. I seem to have a big problem with this one myself. I never keep an open mind when it comes to thinking because over the years I felt that my way or decision making would be the right one without the input of others. I have learned the hard way that listening to others turned out to be a good thing because their insight on things would make others make a better decision for themselves or even myself. Open-mindedness is characterized by being receptive to other views and having the willingness to change views with new facts and evidence. Open-mindedness increases intellectual capabilities by allowing for new experiences and perspectives. A narrow
According to Paul and Elder (2012), the intellectual standards of critical thinking and their explanations are as follows : 1. Clarity is a clear statement. Relevancy and accuracy cannot be determined if a statement is unclear. To answer or solve any question there must be clarity. The intellectual task at hand is laid out more definitively (Paul & Elder, 2012).
IT projects can have a lot of different components to them which creates the potential for more risks. These risks need to be identified, analyzed, and addressed as the project progresses (Schwalbe Ph.D., 2014). There are different types of risk that can affect the implementation of a system that will allow people to manage their own human resource information. A positive risks can produce a project under budget or ahead of schedule, while a negative risks can have adverse effects on a project such as going way over budget. There are also some risks that do not have a positive or negative impact on a project. Identifying risks and addressing them is mostly handled by the program manager.
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.
The main point of Hydroxycut is to help loose weight in a fast amount of time just like every woman wants diamonds, I think that everyone wants that youthful looking body back as well. We all want the energy that we had as a youth and the metabolism as well so that we can eat whatever
A. This chapter deals with the concept of how our countries private industrial interests are making money off creating fear in the public. He talks about how the media creates fear using national and international issues to create fear in us. He also talks about how our Government is a part of the media’s strategy to create fear in society. Also, that the church plays into it by responding to what is seen and reported in the news as a response to the times. - 82 words
In Chapter 3, there were 12 areas of bias spread across the 3 areas of heuristics. The main theme of the text was to prove that we are predisposed to certain outcomes. As we make important decisions we rely on our memory, or a number of past events, or even ignoring facts. Overall, we are biased in many ways when it comes to making decisions, or predicting outcomes of a particular event.
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
1. In a college paper the audience is almost always the professor. Knowing this the author would keep his paper very formal by using proper grammar, and appropriate word choice.and would make sure to add literary devices that the professor looks for. For example, if the professor enjoys imagery, then the student would try to fill his/her paper with that literary device. In certain situations the student may have to read their writing in front of the class. When the audience involves the classroom, one should try to structure his/her paper in a way that would not generalize broad topics, because a classroom scene isn't whole there are many cultural backgrounds to take in consideration. A way to avoid generalization is to not give a single perspective on vast topics. For example, if one is talking about Trump, they should write about a liberal's perspective, as well as a conservative's perspective.
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 reading for this assignment, I noticed that one of the first points had to do with thinking critically. On pg 4 the author states “This means examining the assumptions that form the basis of our ideas and ways of behaving.” This point means that as products of our environment, we (those who make up society) must become more aware of all of the values, beliefs, and behaviors we have adopted or passed onto each other, and understand where it stems from. In the beginning, the text gives an example of the United States being based on a system of civil rights, and questioning the outcome of an alternative system: a society that instead values human rights. This is important because it shows how much our country emphasizes certain concepts over others.

Reading chapters nine through twelve in our text, “Asking the Right Questions; A Guide to Critical Thinking” refreshed my memory on concepts I had already known about. As a retired police officer, I was always trained to obtain eye wittiness accounts or their personal observations to crimes that have occurred. I agree with our authors on the unreliability of such observations. Most observers will not see all of the things that transpired. Additionally, people’s views are tainted by their own personal values, such as race, class and other biases. Then you have to consider the clarity in which they observed what had occurred. Was it dark? Did they have their glasses on? Were the scared and more focused on their safety? This is why, as a
