Part 2: Your Thinking
Write a 75- to 150-word explanation of your current level of critical-thinking development, and explain why you placed yourself at that stage.
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.
