    Phl 320 Critical Thinking Discussion And Summary

    Critical thinking is a complex approach to arriving at an educated decision by implementing a strategy for questioning and reasoning that will lead to a well-informed outcome. The process of thinking critically begins with having an open mind. Critical thinking plays an important role because being able to gather and analyze all available data allows me to make decisions to the best of my ability. In the end I have to take into consideration, not only the impact any decision I make will cause me, but also the impact it will cause others. Making any decision, whether it is minor or major,…

    Angelica Najera Week 2 Stages Critical Thinking

    Sometimes I feel as though I’m more in stage 1 the Unreflective Thinker. Although I think, I’m unaware of how my thinking is structured or how to asses and improve it. At times when I experience problems in thinking, I feel as though I lack the skills to identify and fix the problems. Take my job for example, when dealing with irate customers I take a step back and look at it from their perspective; however, I feel as though I lack the confidence to help the customers fix their problems. There are also times when it’s busy and short drivers, I have to come up with a decision that requires me to think things through before making a final decision. Since I am a dispatcher, it is up to me to ensure the drivers arrive at their destination within twenty minutes and ensure all drivers get their turn at running calls.…

    The Critical Thinking Process: A Buiding Block

    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…

    hum114 r5 stages critical thinking

    After reading “The Beginning Thinker,” I knew that’s my style of thinking. I have been thru so much in my life that now I break my thinking process down. I analyze everything. Like I have said I’m an addict and just to be able to come to that thinking process was the hardest thing I have ever done. I was in deny and block the thought of being an addict. I’m more open to the idea that I have or had a problem. I try to change my thinking pattern around more now than before. I look at different solution in a whole new light. I try to figure out why something is the way it is then just saying it is what it is. I want to know what caused it, how to fix it and how I could have done it different. I tend to ask question when I’m stuck but I still try to dominate others to get what I want. I also believe that I’m in this thinking stage because I still can remember being in the Challenged Thinker stage and being able to remember where you was and where you are now is very…
