1) B I agree with the author's answer because we should see a person in a wheelchair as a normal person avoiding stereotype. 2) C I agree because not only a disable person has bad mood, all people have bad days. 3) B I agree because I haven't heard about a blind pilot either. 4)…
I can honestly say I have never really looked at Critical Thinking the way I see it now. Weak critical thinkers lack the ability to look at things from different points of view being true or not true. Strong critical thinkers have the ability to see things, and question every angle of their way of thinking, and come up with a theory or realistic view or stand point on that topic or discussion. The quality of critical thinking, I feel I am a strong critical thinking! My best quality is Intellectual courage: the willingness to face and fairly assess ideas, beliefs, or viewpoints to which they have not given a serious hearing, regardless of one's strong negative reactions to them.…

In the stories “Thinking Critically, Challenging, Cultural Myths” And “ I Just Wanna Be Average” tell a story from a student's perspective, And how a student can run into challenges. “Thinking Critically, Challenging, Cultural Myths” is more general,and based on you as a college student.…
In conclusion, this book has challenged me to reflect on my own struggles; moreover, my understanding on what being a Christian entails have shifted from a checklist to love…
The appeal to nature and casual fallacies appear in conversations and in many forms of writing on a daily basis. Robert Todd Carroll has written two pieces, Becoming a Critical Thinker and Skeptics Dictionary, which explain what the two ideas are. In short, the appeal to nature is a claim that all things that are natural are good and all things unnatural are bad. A casual fallacy is a belief that because one thing happens something else occurs as a result. These two ideas are present in three different articles, Natural Foodie: Making the vegan switch proved to be a win-win-win, The Bad Seed: The Health Risks of Genetically Modified Corn, and Moms to EPA: Recall Monsanto’s Roundup.…
Therefore, we need to ensure that we are promoting and teaching students the skills that will help them become responsible members of society. My question this week is: Why is it important to raise children to be critical thinkers? References Dewey, J. (1916).…
The three people I interviewed were Charles 54; the Baby Boom Generation. Mistie age 32; she is a Millennial, and lastly Rochelle who is 50; she is part of generation x, but right at the edge of the Baby Boom Generation. It was nice to see how they have lived their version of life. It was also interesting to talk with each of them and learn their full stories. They are people I know…
This would include ownership, money, inequality of possessions, competition, attitudes of heart, and effect on world poverty. Each one of these task if carried out right can be a powerful tool to show God’s unconditional love to those who are not saved. For actions always speak louder than words. For this is talked about throughout the Bible. A good example of this would be James 3:13, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?…
John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” 1 John 3:17-18 “But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but indeed and in truth”. Proverbs 21:13 “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered”.…
The method implemented to raise critical consciousness in the community would simply be through education. As previously stated starting with youth-targeted programs will help these children have a better understanding of the threat they cause to their community when involved. Emotions towards both gang violence and extortion are another factor that can either hinder or enhance critical consciousness. Police members need to not ignore the role that one’s emotions have towards these touchy subjects since they’re living in what could be to them a nightmare.…
This week was interesting but I feel as though the description for the assignment should have been more detailed. The scenario is " You are walking to your car in the back corner of an isolated parking lot. A man suddenly appears and approaches you. He has one hand in his coat pocket, and you suspect he may be armed.…
My writing isn’t nearly as advanced as I would like it to be, and this is mostly because I don’t write on my free time. I only ever sit down to write when I need to for an assignment or if it is something for work, however, I do occasionally make journal entries, but it is very rare. Even though I don’t write very often, when I do, it isn’t that hard. I ranked myself a six on challenged to gifted writer because I don’t find writing a challenge, but I am not that great at it either. On the other scales I put myself down as a five.…
Ultimately, despite their conflicting viewpoints, most Christians are sincerely struggling to interact with the modern world in a spirit of love, being true to what they believe God wants.” (Sanna…
Question 3: Throughout this semester, this class has really pushed me outside of my comfort zone and made me aware of and question some of the gender differences that I have ignored and/or accepted throughout my life. It is clear that men, specifically wealthy, white men, still manage the world that we live in today. With the recent election, I have been thinking about how gender affects our society.…
For me stigma is a brand that is associated with a specific person or a circumstance. The brand that is left is affiliated in a negative way. For example when something bad happen to you, you will always remember it because you will have it in your memories as a bad. When I had 7 years old I was playing by myself on the second floor jumping with the cable. The cable was there because the builder had not finished building the second floor.…
