    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.…

    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…

    My Response to the essay – “Don’t you think it’s time to start thinking?” by Northrop Frye

    The essay highlights the importance of verbal skills in critical thinking. Frye states that schools and teachers play an inevitable role in developing a student’s thought process. He says that a student should be taught on how to think and how to put it in words. He states that thinking is a matter of practice and everyone should take enough time to think. That is the only way in which one can articulate the thoughts, without which, it is meaningless.…

    Critical Thinking Application Paper

    Personal barriers which could impede clear thinking consist of enculturation, religion, self-concept, ego defenses (denial, projection, rationalization), self-serving biases, role of expectations, emotional influences (anger, passion, depression), and stress (Kirby and Goodpaster, 2007). Even though personal barriers come into play, the more one engages in self-reflection and becomes aware of the biases and limitations, overcoming the personal barriers will result in positive critical thinking.…

    Week 9 Hum 111

    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.…

    Learning from People with Different Views

    While one may say that if one gives too much value to the contradictory thoughts, he/she may stymie the progress of the process; one has to believe that if there is a true concern for learning, the price for it is time. Although, the time that is used in analyzing the situation through other’s perspective may delay the progress, it provides one with the opportunities to modify the ability to think. Thus, next time when the same person encounters a situation, he/she may cerebrate over it with a better outlook, and probably come out with a better solution. Hence, to consider other’s opinion results into development of better intellectual skills.…
