Critical Thinking and Ethics
I find that the steps in critical thinking are remembering which is to remembering the key facts in the critical thinking process. The next step would be understanding which means being able to define the idea in your own words. Once you have remembering and understanding, you can move on to apply which is putting in the effort to come up with an adequate end result. Now that you have the basic knowledge of the first three steps you can move on to analyzing. Analyzing is basically breaking down information to form your analysis. With four steps applied you then begin the process of evaluating which is to evaluate the quality the efficiency of your work and give a reason for your assessment honestly. Finally, you get to creating which is coming up with your ideas from a topic established by your thoughts. To define critical thinking, I would say that the definition of critical thinking is the objective, analysis and evaluation of an issue to form a judgment. In my opinion, critical thinking is taking an issue and creating a better or more efficient solution. The best example I can come up with would have to be Martin Cooper inventor of the cell phone. He used the invention of Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the landline telephone and came up with a device called the cell phone that allows you to talk while mobile. To come up with an invention of that sort, he would have had to have been a creative/critical thinker. He would have had to come up with an objective analysis and evaluate the want and need of such a product. When looking at the critical thinking process, I have a scenario where I have had to use some of the critical thinking processes. An explanation I would have to use is from my personal experience as a paraprofessional. In the education professional, you have to be a critical thinker you have to walk into the class
