Critical thinking can be defined in many different ways, but in my opinion the easiest way to state what it is would be to call it a deep thought process on something. You constantly question things around you and people around you never letting your thoughts dull this is also critical thinking. Critical thinking has always been something that I have practiced naturally so I feel that some things in this course that other people learned here I already knew, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t learn anything. In all actuality I have learned how to define critical thinking, how to implement it in a more conscious state then a natural one like I had been before, and for my third greatest thing that I learned in this class would have to be how to use critical thought to my advantage.

My critical thought process is about the same, but I have learned how to use it more effectively. I find that throughout this course my ability to read what I was doing increased a decent bit even if I didn’t notice it at first it gradually became more noticeable. I honestly cannot say that I’m any higher on the critical thinking stages than I was before even if I have improved. I feel as if nine weeks in a course isn’t enough to jump me up to the next step and I honestly am happy where I am at on the stages.

The way that I feel that I could move past where I am at on the stage list for critical thinking would have to be experience and implementing that experience. There are no shortcuts in this world and that is why something like this needs to be taken slow otherwise you fool yourself into thinking that you have progressed when in all reality all you have done is gone back a step. Honestly I don’t think very many people in our world could be considered master thinkers maybe a whole 10,000 on our planet right now if that. Being a master thinker is something that takes a lot of thought, time, and effort to achieve and maybe one day I will be one but

    Throughout the course of the Roman Republic, they were threatened by many different countries around them. They created a mighty military that crushed the Latin states. After that, they waged a war against the Samnites, and were victorious. They had a significant portion of Italy as a result, and came into direct contact with the Greeks. The Roman's culture was greatly affected by the Greeks (such as adapting gods). Later on, the Romans crushed the Greeks, and had most of Italy under control. Their conquests were successful because of their great military strategy and their effectiveness of their ruling. For example, they gave their conquered civilians full Roman status, and gave them a stake in success. They also crushed rebellions without mercy, and used force when necessary. The Romans were good soldiers and persistent ones; they rebuilt the losses after each battle. They also built interconnecting roads that helped them move ideas, people, and weapons/food across Italy to fortified positions. Rome essentially mobilized the manpower of Italy for war.…

    My current level of critical-thinking is a Stage 1 which is a Unreflective Thinker. I place myself at this stage because I am very unaware of significant problems when thinking. My entire environment in terms of thinking is basic as I present the issues or situations that pass through my mind. In this stage my knowledge seems to be as a generic form of knowing or analyzing things without major involvement.Some situations are solved using our critical thinking but is not always implemented.…

    Critical thinking involves a persons ability to reason in order to support their belief. To begin the critical thinking process one must acknowledge the problem at hand, find information on the problem; research, examine the problem closely, apply moral principles, decide the best ethical choice and be able to support the claim, then go back over the process on how one came to their conclusion and lastly reflect on their decision. I have learned that the critical thinking skills process is a buiding block, each step builds onto the other to come to a ethical solution at the end. There is no shortcut to the steps and if I do so then I will not get a logical conclusion to my problem. I beleive out of all the steps the one I find myself using…

    While I have learned a variety of processes and steps in this critical thinking course, the 3 most significant things that come to mind are commitment, forward thinking, and overcoming obstacles. Critical thinking requires a life time commitment if I expect my thinking to improve. I learned to be mindful of how my past affected my thinking and I learned what processes to put in place to take my thinking to a higher level. Critical thinking leaves no room for emotions and other bad habits that hinder thinking. The emotions that once drove my thinking have been replaced with a drive to move past emotion and consider what lies beyond. Critical thinking is an important source in overcoming obstacles that might hinder good and reasonable conclusions or solutions to problems and issues.…

    I believe that my current stage of critical thinking is the second stage, the challenged thinker. I’ve placed myself in this stage because I know that my thinking has problems and that I really need to work on each issue. To move on to the next stage, I need to identify each problem in my thinking, or at least as many as I can. The first two problems hindering my critical thinking that I have identified so far is my misunderstanding of what concentration is, hindering my ability to successfully…

    My critical thinking has changed since I started this course for the reason I am getting better at it. Like I said before when I first started I really did not have a good understanding therefore, it was for me to grow as a thinker. Now, that I actually know what it means and the steps of thinking critically I can move forward to becoming a master thinker. Once I become a master thinker then I will be at the point that I am trying to reach it.…
