Decent Essays
Question 3: Some of my challenges to remain and a critical thinker in this contemporary world is that I cannot relate to the younger generation. This generation has become so disrespectful and it is easier for me to ignore the person and not confronting the problem. Some of the younger generations are not motivated and many times, they want a handout and not wanting to work. The world changes every day and being an adult learner, it is so easy for me to think my way. I have children and grandchildren and to be in their lives I have to take the challenge to change. One of my main concerns and my challenge is that I have strong Christian beliefs in this contemporary world; people do not want to hear that God loves them no matter what. So

    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!

    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.

    In the first perspective it explains that you, as a person should focus on self improvement and become more self reliant. I honestly think as an opinion you would need to keep boosting people's spirits instead of being self centered because you don't want to make them feel good. Everyone has their own traits, personality, and characteristics, but if you don't care about other people, it shows you that you are careless about the good people on this earth. A strength of the first perspective is that you can get things accomplished and succeed in goals in your lifetime.…

    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.

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.…
