Suzan, I would rather you write in your own words, using research only to support your own thoughts, insights and conclusions. Please review CSU Global APA guidance for assistance. A 15-20% similarity score is acceptable, 48% is too high. Work on organization, ensure proper APA format and including some of your own analysis to enhance your discussion and separate your thoughts and topics by paragraph and heading to allow better flow and ease of reading for your audience. The intent of critical thinking exercises is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic and ability to make decisions, through the course readings and your own analysis. Analysis of the issue through your own words, with support from outside sources only as evidence
This critical thinking process assignment has been beneficial in different ways. The research especially on the principles of critical thinking has been an eye opener for me. It will now be easier to choose any research topic, do an in depth research and produce excellent results in the end. It is evident to me that critical thinking is more than copying and editing people’s work. The process has also had it downs too, for instance, establishing the work that did not involve good critical thinking. It is also hard to determine whether an author depended on another person’s work if they have not referenced it.
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. By understanding the predictable

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
This is my thirteenth online or hybrid class taken through the Peralta Colleges. As a returning, older student with a demanding full-time job, online classes make it possible for me to continue my education. I am a big fan of the online format, particularly well-structured courses such as this one.
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. This would not only free students from a sheltered test culture,but will allow students to think in a deeper,more passionate way than before.
In life, we are often capable of much more than we ever know. Our bodies and minds will automatically choose the path of least résistance, but when we have the right amount of motivation and encouragement, we can surpass any roadblock. The Module Two introductory video discussed the 33%-33%-33% principle. Thirty-three percent of people will simply disagree with the on decisions being made. Another thirty-three percent will agree, and the last thirty-three percent will not care. In order to shift mindsets, create buy-in, and trust the decision-maker’s intentions, it is imperative that he or she is organized, thoughtful, and caring during the decision-making process. This case study presents a problem regarding lack of student growth and
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning When I read that quote, I think of being a determined person with self-confidence. At the beginning of my junior year in high school, I was given a personal quiz determining whether you are a “D”, “S”, “I” or “C”. the directions were to draw a circle, and to draw a vertical line. The top half was extrovert, and the bottom half was introvert. I shaded in the top half because I am very outgoing person. the next step was to draw a horizontal line. the right side was task, and the left side was people. I choose the left side because I can get things done the way things need to be done. when all
The eleven areas that influence thinking are sociologically, philosophically, ethically, intellectually, anthropologically, ideologically, economically, historically, biologically, theologically, psychologically (Paul, Elder, Chartrand, Emery, Hall, Ishikawa, Maketa, & Gunther, 2012). Of these eleven, the most significant in my opinion is sociologically. Sociologically happens when the social groups to which we belong influence our mind. This influence starts to establish self -analysis, self-reflection, self-definition, self-empowerment and sometimes self-destruction dependent upon the type of social group we are involved with (Ortiz, 2015). Sociologically influence functions as an instrument facilitating logic, integration, or conformity
What is Critical Thinking? According to (Eder & Paul, 2004), “critical thinking is the ability and disposition to improve one’s thinking by systematically subjecting it to intellectual self-assessment” (Par. 6). Critical thinking is not a skill that someone can achieve all at once. In order to become a developed critical thinker, there are different levels of intellectual development one must pass through to improve their thinking capabilities. Per (Eder & Paul, 2004), there are six stages of critical thinking development. In the following paragraphs, I will summarize the six stages of critical thinking development. Then, I will explain which stage describes my current level of thinking and why
Critical thinking is more of a complex thing and a guide to the ability to think clearly and simply recall information. I can state that three strategies that would incorporate into my daily life deal with your egocentrism I have as mind that I tend to deny what I have , use "wasted "time by evaluating my strengths and weakness , and redefine the way I see things by negative to positive and also to reshape things. Let’s say you're waiting in line at the bank and like always you need to get out quickly you spot an opportunity to skip someone and you take it you never paid any attention to their needs but who will be in a much hurry than you . This is one situation that egocentrism has an effect on me because I am unaware to see others point
I like to think things through by looking at both side of the issue the good and bad. When I go shopping most often time I have several things in by basket that I have decided to buy. As I walk through the store my thought pattern is if I really need the things in my basket, by the time I make it to the register half of the things have been put back. I think about if I need this or can it wait, most often it can wait. When encounter new information my thought pattern is in what way is this information going to benefit me, and in what part of my life will I use
