...Critical Thinking Reflection Nicole Morris HUM/115 05/11/2015 Denise Whitter Critical Thinking Reflection While reading Critical Thinking in Everyday life (R. Ridel, 2015), I have learned a great deal about myself. While I was proud to learn I was an intermediate level thinker, I had a lot of growing to do. I came to the realization of how I’ve allowed barriers to control my way of thinking. I also learned why I’m not as advanced & how I can take my critical thinking and decision-making skills to the next level. Internal Barriers Introducing the puppeteer theory was the most “eye opening” lesson I’ve yet to experience, I had no clue how I’ve allowed barriers such broad influences on my overall decision-making abilities. I’ve learned the lesson of why it is vital not to allow your emotions control over outcomes in situations within and out of your control. Being emotionally charged can gravely hinder my critical thinking. I’ve learned that emotion over reason equals bad outcomes however; reason over emotions equals good outcomes (R. Ridel, 2015) and I keep this in mind daily while making choices. Message and Messenger When determining a credible and reliable source, I found it very meaningful to ask the question, no matter the topic, “who benefits?” and I now use this daily with sources. Asking myself this questions challenges me to research further, to where I can discover biases and unfactual opinion. If I’m confident in my sources...

...Critical Thinking Reflection Richie Galinato HUM 115 June 5, 2015 Marcus Anderson Critical Thinking Reflection Critical thinking is a process of multiple steps consisting of evaluating information, coming up with opinions or conclusions derived from a series of facts, and applying what was learned to solve a problem or to make a decision (Ridel, 2015). I have never thought about critical thinking but I have used it every day of my life multiple times a day and so does everyone else around me. Critical thinking is a powerful tool that I must continue to learn how sharpen and utilize. I had the misconception that critical thinking is only contemplating about a subject and figuring out an outcome, but it is much more than that. I learned that there is an actual eight step model to critical thinking. Understanding each step has allowed me refine my own critical thinking process and to find out where I was weak in certain areas. After learning about the process I have already put it to you use by critically thinking about how to pass current and future classes while also achieving a good grade in the class. Applying each step has helped me outline and implement a plan to success and has made my academic life a lot easier. Another very important subject I learned is to question everything I read or hear and to find out if the source is credible or not. With information at our fingertips through internet articles, videos and even social media, believing everything that we...

...Critical Thinking Reflection Carrie Thomsen HUM/115 – Critical Thinking in Everyday Life Assignment Due Date: March 28th, 2016 Lisa Thompson, M. S. Ed Critical Thinking Reflection I believe a strong educational background will greatly improve my odds in a higher job placement and in furthering my career in the long run. I have had what I considered to be good jobs in the past, with pretty good wages. However, in the long run, there is only so far I could excel and there was a wage ceiling. According to the U.S. Government Info Web site, “a high school graduate can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor’s degree $2.1 million; and people with a master’s degree $2.5 million.” (Forbes, 2012). When I became a stay at home mother, I began to think long term. I thought for years on what path I wanted to take in my life. The first step was to figure out what career was best for me and where I would be the greatest asset. I first chose Psychology and after further research, I realized that was the wrong career for me. If I had done more research and asked more questions before I enrolled in Psychology, I would not have wasted so many months. After some soul searching and further exploration, I feel that a bachelor’s degree in Business is best for me. I plan to earn a Master’s in business following my completion of my bachelor’s degree. The process of critical thinking is interrelated to researching career paths because I was considering...

...Critical Thinking Reflection Orlando J. Williams HUM/115 Sep 30, 2015 Melanie Novak Critical Thinking Reflection At the completion of this course I was asked to express upon three things which summarize my experience. First, identify three lessons learned; next, describe each of them and explain why they are meaningful to you; and finally, how will I utilize each of these lessons in my everyday life? To begin I believe the most important lesson I take away from this course is simply to ask why? What do I mean by this, the answer is very clear and simple. We go through our daily lives believing what we are told, and what we see or read. It is as if we have been programmed to react and respond to situations in an already predetermined manner. For us to question why a certain thing is to be done in a certain way is not being rebellious or unruly. I have realized that it is out right and responsibility to question what does not appear right or just. With that being said, the next thing which came to light within this course was to actually see how others within my class view circumstances and events in our world. I thought that I had always practiced having an open mind and accept opinions of others. But to witness the differences of views of those that I thought would have a similar belief in critical topics that I had due to our similar military background gave me a better understanding of how critical thinking varies from person to person. Lastly, to see the...

...Critical Thinking Reflection Paper Michaela Lyons HUM/115 03/30/15 Amy Gordon Critical Thinking Reflection Paper Part A: What do you want to be when you grow up? A question that was continuously asked by our parents, our teachers and our families. Growing up our possibilities seemed endless, we could go from wanting to become an astronaut to a princess in the matter of a days. Slowly but surely time catches up to us and the daunting question of what you want to be suddenly becomes real. Initially attending college seems extensive, and at one point or another we all question the importance of the obligation put upon us by society. Will college really benefit my future? We all have the drive to pursue the quickest and the easiest route to success but it isn’t always what’s best for us. We need to cultivate our knowledge further to ensure the best future for ourselves. Based on economy and job projections calculated by Georgetown University, in 2018, approximately 63% of jobs will require some college education or a degree (Carnevale, 2010). Which means, in 2018 without an advanced education only %37 of jobs will be available to choose from. A 2011 Pew Research survey found that 57% of Americans felt higher education did not provide students with good value compared to the money spent (Pew Research, 2011). This may provide a good reason for a lack of motivation to attend...

...` Critical Thinking Reflection Paper David Garrett Hum/115 Michelle Cooper 2/3/16 Part 1 There are many ways to reduce poverty in America, but I believe the very first step we must take is to change our thinking and how we interpret the phrase “people living in poverty” and those who are “homeless”. We need to realize that poverty and homelessness occurs for more than those who are out of job and those who are addicts. We must use deep thinking to see that poverty can occur from a unplanned illness or surgery and when the medical bills start piling up, then those individuals begin to lose everything. We can reduce poverty and homelessness in America by looking at the root causes of each. We can reduce it by being “far sighted” and looking at long term solutions for poverty stricken people such as job creation and training programs. Job retention programs can also be created with incentives to work. When we consider all of our possibilities we are then engaging in critical thinking to reduce poverty and homelessness. Part 2 I think there are basic principles for critical thinking that can always be applied the some way. In critical thinking, you are always striving for the best, not perfect solution. As I mentioned above, in reducing the number of those who live in poverty starts with us looking at the true reasons why someone is living in poverty and not just our perception or what society tells us. Society tells us that those who are homeless and living...

...Critical Thinking Reflection Leah Kuester HUM/115 Sept 14, 2015 Cathie Alder Critical Thinking Reflection Our daily lives are filled with decisions, opinions, lessons and experiences. Happiness is something I believe we all wish to feel on a daily basis but do we always make the right choices that will lead us to this? Are we making decisions based on emotion or are we taking the time to weigh out our options, think critically and make the right choice based on fact? We can all benefit from thinking critically in our everyday lives as it is a tool to find clarity, independence and a way to truly have control of your own path in life. Barriers to Critical Thinking There is no question that when you want to change the way you think, it is going to take some practice. We are used to being a certain way and whether we want to change or not, our thoughts and actions are simply controlled by emotion at times. In order to think critically you have to learn to overcome such barriers and change the way you approach a situation. Dr. Ridel says, “Our ability to think critically isn’t certain- it’s under constant siege by forces that would rather us not.” (Ridel, 2015) In other words, it isn’t easy to think critically in a world full of barriers to doing so. He mentions that the two types of barriers are internal and external barriers. (Ridel, 2015) External referring to family, friends, teachers and the media. All figures in our lives that have a mass influence on our thoughts...

...Critical Thinking Reflection RODGER HARDER HUM/115 28 SEP 15 AMY GORDON Critical Thinking Reflection Write at least 350 words about how critical thinking can be used in everyday life. Include the following four (4) items in your response: 1. Identify three (3) lessons that you learned in this course. 2. Describe each of them. 3. Explain why they are meaningful to you. 4. Discuss how each of these lessons applies to your everyday life. Lesson 1: Before making a decision, investigate the source. I have learned not to jump the gun when I hear something and have to make a decision about it. Investigating the source is very important to me. I know there is a saying “Consider the Source” I wonder if this is where it came from. Some people act like experts in a field they either know nothing about it or have some knowledge, just enough to be dangerous. So it is very important to me to investigate the source before I make a decision, because I want to make a sound good decision. I have started using this already at work when having to make “ANY” decision. Lesson 2: Ask relevant questions I have learned to ask relevant questions pertaining to an answer; I almost look at it as playing “Devils Advocate”. I ask the questions from the opposite side so I have a well-rounded answer to the problem. I try to look at the problem from all sides, and I am able to come up with a solution that is more than an educated guess. The answers I give are not quick anymore but...

...Barriers to Critical Thinking Lisa Miller HUM/115 Due Date 08 03 15 Beverly Sessoms The winter of 2010 in Cambridge left three feet of snow on campus most weeks. Professors did not cancel any classes or final exams. My three hour proctored exams were held on campus at 8 pm with a minus ten degree wind chill factor. Critical thinking skills were required to figure out how to make the ten mile drive into campus with no car and no taxis running. I found a cheap car service with snow chains and made it in to each exam. Getting out of campus at 11 pm was more difficult, with a two hour car service wait outside when they locked the exam building. You learned defensive strategies such as keeping your cell phone charged, triple layered gloves, scarves, hats, and socks. Waterproof snow boots were mandatory. My role as a student, employee, friend, coworker, and significant other is to use the best critical thinking skills possible for the best ethical outcomes. I challenge myself to be a reflective thinker, recognizing barriers, and finding methods of replacement and modification. I am always surprised to hear so many stories of tenured professors and students conspiring to cheat on exams. I am discouraged by stories of local stories of college athletes accepting gifts and money without shame. Internal biases lead to corrupt critical thinking in each case. 12.85 GB (85%) of 15 GB used 12.85 GB (85%) of 15 GB used Self-analysis of external and...

...AnneMarie Rivera Critical Thinking Reflection HUM/115 March 12, 2015 Will receiving a college degree improve your career opportunities? There are numerous benefits of having a college degree, ranging from cultural to financial. First, the experience and knowledge obtained while in college can help develop necessary interpersonal and communication skills, expand your skill set, and most importantly, think critically to handle any issues that may arise in the workplace. Obtaining a college education provides the opportunity for social growth and learning with other like-minded people who are doing the same. In addition, even though some may not be thinking about it, your education is furnishing the opportunity of exploration, and getting to know your interests and skills. In doing so, you get a better idea of what career path you would like to take, and what you want to do with your life. The more formal education you have, the more confidence you have in your expertise. As a new graduate going into the career world, job positions are based largely on your level of education. While a college education statistically provides a better possibility of obtaining wealth (Cheeseman Day & Newburger, 2012), it does not guarantee success. You are responsible for taking all that you have learned and utilizing your newly obtained proficiency to make your mark as a competent and self-reliant employee. Many of the skills obtained, including critical thinking, will help you...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
