Since taking this class I have added more ways for me to think more critically. A few things that have made my critical thinking easier is how to mark a book, reading and reflection, application of wasteland, and the 2 types of information given descriptive and prescriptive. I know that marking a book is good for critical reading…

For example, when Jefferson compares the blacks’ imagination to that of the whites, he asserts that blacks are “dull, tasteless, and anomalous” in imagination (381). His words may diminish readers’ intentions to read as some readers may find his words insulting and offensive. Another example in which Jefferson uses insulting language is when he talks about flowing hair. “Add to these, flowing hair, a more elegant symmetry of form, their own judgement in favor of the whites, declared by their…

If a questions develops answers, then it changes from philosophy to the area of knowledge it is associated with, supporting that…

Monkey Business Everything has an origin, even us humans, but how, when, and where did we evolve? Steven Pinker’s Revenge of the Nerds contains two parts that. In the first, he identifies and examines the four traits that aid the evolution of human intelligence; this builds a background on the subject at hand. Then, the second, goes on to discuss the evolution of our mind and culture concurrently developing, thus, the standard timetable is inaccurate. Although Pinker does employ the elements of…

So, I am expecting to obtain skills such as time management, study skills, critical thinking, and much more through college. One skill necessary to have is time management, time is a well-known importance because we can only lose time. We can never gain it back. So, knowing how to prioritize from important to less important events can…
