"Problem Solving Interview Question"
Respond to this typical interview question: Explain a specific example in which you utilized problem solving strategies to resolve a problem in the real world.
Example:
A way in which I used a problem solving strategy was when I worked in the Assessor’s Office in the City of Saginaw. My proposal and draft of a form was submitted to my boss to make processing incoming requests for services to be provided to help efficiency, accuracy and assist the other appraisers in the office to gather details to make address changes, name changes, mortgage changes and any other changes needed that would make my processing of incoming information more expedient and keep accuracy and records correct.
By using critical thinking, I used analysis and gathering of details that pertained to the form and what is asked regularly and this helped compile my proposal and request and relay it to my supervisor.
Provide your feedback from the perspective of an interview coach to at least three (3) of your classmates.
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
The process sounds great and knowing the If Then and Buts is what makes it easier for your client to interface with you and doing your job. As a job coach, I would suggest always having a visual display to ensure all are on the same page with suggestions that might streamline and save money as well. This is always a good seller.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
As a job coach, I commend you on your fast thinking, empathy and maturity in reconciling a no-win situation. Not only did you retain the customer as a client … you helped retain that the business respects all customers. Further, I feel that training to sensitize employees with various scenarios will teach courtesy, self-respect and caution because lawsuits do happen.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
If I was your job coach, I would stress that retracking mentally and visualizing what could be wrong then as you did wait a period, scale the scene and find the flaw and keep the work load going smooth. Patience and coolness with precision gets it done always.
Thank you.

"Problem Solving Interview Question"
Imagine you are interviewing for a job you really want.
The interviewer asks you the following question: “Explain a specific example in which you used critical thinking/problem solving strategies to solve a problem in the real world.”
What is your answer to the question?
An example that I used critical thinking would be the merging of time with classes to help facilitate a broader outlook for my future job as a teacher, counselor, writer to allow a more fluent pattern of growth and exploratory ability to become more analytical and faster compiling theories and questions to a problem to help others.
Choose one classmate’s own response to the interviewer’s question. If you are a job coach, what suggestions would you make to maximize his or her answer to the interview question?
If I was an interview coach my goal would be to stress first interpersonal skill, cooperative ability and the ability to evolve the position and be able to treat all with courtesy and accept criticism to correct and reroute.
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
If I was your job coach, I would say yes to a promotion and keep thinking of great ideas. This is an excellent strategy when a short staff is all you have and knowing how to keep the public happy and keep the quality great is what makes the game continue.
Thank you.

PHIL210 CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION 6
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that science and pseudoscience are not comfortable bedfellows because of their structural approaches. I agree that some claims are very unusual and almost unbelievable but after careful scrutiny some relay some credibility.
Being a skeptic is good but being open minded allows change and adjustment to alteration in people's reactions and approaches to dealing with change.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree with your thoughts that perceptions cause difficulties and misunderstandings. Sometimes the claims are promotional but may be based on a limited test group. Therefore, these results cannot be controlled or judged as ineffectual. I also agree that it would be unwise to believe anything recently or in the future.
Thank you.

"Identifying Truth or Fiction"
The video clip ‘The Baloney Detection Kit’ in the Webtext this week discusses the many ways in which an effective critical thinker assesses the claims made by others. Explain what you believe is the real difference between ‘science’ and ‘pseudoscience’.
The real difference between science and pseudoscience is the procedure in identifying a problem whereas pseudoscience provides an explanation after a fact is determined. Also, the scientific method is a methodological process to test and observe and form a reasonable explanation or hypothesis and then test it to see if it supports the hypothesis or theory. Further the scientific method is repeatable and has more credibility then pseudoscience because it uses trackable reports and logical approaches to render an answer. Whereas pseudoscience does not consider alternatives and is limited in its perspective and does not adhere to peer reviews to help support a claim or query.
Examine the key reasons why so many people might seem to be attracted to more pseudoscience-type claims. Describe at least two (2) such claims that you have heard people make, and analyze the main reasons why such claims do or do not meet rigorous scientific methodology standards. Determine at least two (2) ways in which the material discussed this week has changed your own thinking.
The key reasons why so many people are attracted because the claims are sensational, emotionally charged and appealing and easy to be attracted to because they meet the ability to hopefully grant a wish.
Example One – Cider Vinegar
In relation to cider vinegar is its ability to be used for various health reasons, e.g., high blood pressure, salads, cleaning ability and other uses. Some people swear that a teaspoon helps to lower blood pressure. But if tested by scientific methodology it would probably not be enabled to be certified that it is true actuality and would work for everyone.
Example Two – Prunes
That eating and consuming of prunes would cause a predictive relief of constipation for everyone. Because of the varying procedures of each individual bodily functioning the claim would not meet rigorous scientific methodology because of mild, moderate and severe constipation cannot all be relieved by eating prunes.
Two ways the material that was discussed this week has given a more analytical lookout on how structured scientific methodology is and how sensation helps win compliance when dealing with pseudoscience and accepting it as true.

Example One – Crop Circles
Whether or not the feasibility that a UFO actually came and made this impression and because of this it is a pseudoscience claim because there is not a logical explanation to explain the odd appearance and impression in the crop field. Further the owner stated he did not stage it it just appeared over the weekend and the capability of it meeting a rigorous scientific methodology standard to attempt to explain it would be impossible.
https://circularstateofmind.wordpress.com/2014/06/16/crop-circles-2014-harewell-lane-nr-besford-worcestershire/
Example Two – Embarrassing Conspiracy Theories: Acts of Mass Murder are False Flag Attacks
In this example, the claim and act of mass murder is considered a false flag attack because it is more or less used to cause a belief that these murders are staged to impress the public and control the gun issuing and removing guns from the public hands. Therefore, it would be pseudoscience because it has no base in science but it is mysteriously disconnected and does not follow logically as a scientific methodology would if there was a concrete reason why it would be connective to science.
The material that was discussed was intriguing because it causes a new type of analysis to be done by using the principles of the Baloney Detection Kit to disregard this and evaluate that which causes the process of the claim to supported or disregarded. One of the questions that helps are personal beliefs affiliated with this claim and that would be an affirmative that if is similar to a personal vendetta.

PHIL210 CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION 5
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not.
I agree with your post partially with the estimations of time and the high sentencing but I do not believe that any destructive drug as cocaine and heroin should ever be legalized because it does damages that cannot be mitigated. Fate does not need to be tempted and have any young people or any person on these substances because the possibility of rehabilitating them is very bleak.
Your post is contradictory in that it refers to those who become addicted can use tax revenue for drug treatment and job training programs. With these hard core drugs the addicted have lots of physicality problems - inner damage to veins, organs and functioning normally, plus severe psychological problems that inhibit and prevent working and starting over.
Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use.
I agree that sometimes certain statistics can be used to secure an argument but those who are analytical should be able to read between the lines and make a good call anyway. Statistics is always raw data and does not close an argument but is used for support with the choice being 50/50 always.
Always assume a position of neutrality when making analytical decisions and look at all research in an impartial state.
Thank you.

In response to your discussion the merit is not the quoted estimation but the perception that non-violent offenders are doing more time compared to those who have a dangerous nature and crimes that deal with death and murder.
Further it is more of a support to make analysis before making a decision but I feel the argument is weak and needs to be narrowed down to concentrate on making the argument sound and indefeatable. Also, the year is not a prevalent issue what is at hand is the scenario but if the argument would be or could be strengthened then a study can be done to use current statistics for further support.

"Identifying Misleading Information in an Argument"
Consider the following argument: There are many arguments for the elimination or modification of current U. S. drug laws, but one of the most persuasive involves what negative effects drug laws are having on society in comparison with the effects of the drugs themselves. In the past ten years, most forms of drug use have dropped significantly, especially among teens. Despite this, non-violent drug offenders accounted for 21.1 percent of the federal prison population. First time drug offenders serve, on average, a sentence three months longer than kidnappers, nine months longer than burglars, and thirty-three months longer than sex abusers. In 1992, the average cost of keeping an inmate in either state or federal prison was about $20,000 per prisoner per year. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 455 prisoners per 100,000 population. It is maintaining these prisoners at great expense in an environment where they are unlikely to develop a socially constructive attitude. Perhaps it is time that we reconsider our attitudes toward those who choose to use drugs; failure to do so may cost society even more than it already has.
Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not.
In the case of statistics, the use is simple and effective with easy understanding and clarity. Also, the ramifications of the amount of prisoners per 100,000 of the populace is a large amount when looking at it in scale is visible. Further if there is no societal reconstruction in these prisons then it causes a pause with a want of a renewal effort to effect reconditioning to rehabilitate to merge back in to society. With the understanding of prisons as correcting points in each prisoner’s life the goal is to try to prevent recidivism and a reentry into prison. Therefore, based on the above realization the picture of drugs and its consequences are evident but the argument itself does not have enough detail to support the elimination or altering of drug laws.
The drug rate of entry into this country is significantly high and even though the cost to house and secure them it is still not a strong enough argument because high volatile states of danger and death are associated with drugs. Further the changing of attitudes to a level of tolerance is clearly not a “thought out” process but it more or less strengthens the fortitude to deny drugs and their seductive state of enticement and beguiling mesmerization.
Societal costs are already apparent when the affect of drugs reflect its ravaging and raping effect in blight, dying of businesses, horrendous states of decay and hopelessness in people in cities, urban and rural locations. Lastly, drugs are status with the “clicks” because it is a fast paced life with materialistic glamour that shows a no-win situation for all and after critiquing the argument it is too weak but informative but cannot be used to make a decision that is huge and has many complexities and difficulties.
Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use.
The primary way statistics are used that affect my current position in developing persuasive arguments are that it gives a supportive to an argument but it does not wholly win the argument. When developing the aspects of advantage it must be clearly delineated and overwhelm the disadvantages and cause a pause to reflect is it a true worthy cause to support or a possible frivolous venture that cannot stand criticism or critical evaluation and therefore survival.
For Example,
If the cause is to adjust laws to deal with drugs then the argument would have to reflect a more definite expression and a way how to adjust to be more harder on drugs. In the way of how to adjust the argument is to be inclusive of what would help to narrow the argument’s delineative lines and make it possible because the argument is too broad and its purpose is not effective. Pinpointing on a segment can be more effective for example:
Readjusting the laws if a first time offender is non-violent would help the financial strain that is placed on each State and be a corrective when comparing years served by violent offenders.
The argument is good but has to also be steered toward who is the most dangerous the non-violent offender or those whose predatorial nature has violence embroiled within each mean dangerous act against each victim.
Consequently, the argument can be adjusted to work if it is pro non-violent prisoners and criteria established can be used to limit the amount of time given them.
Thank you.

I agree that the bandwagon fallacy is being used in that it indicates an overwhelming amount of people rushing and competing to switch to Verizon. But it also has another argument appeal to ignorance because just stating something still has to be conclusively proven.
Although not on the list the appeal to popularity is one of the fallacies used in Coca Cola commercials. Further is the fallacy appeal to ignorance which is if you tasted a coke or coca cola you won't want anything else.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
If a commercial is using the ad hominem fallacy to distract rather than sell the product it is sometimes viewed in a humorous light because it is facetious banter that is not meant seriously. But the commercials work and the product sell and all the "so-called criticism" is okayed beforehand because no insult is meant.
Even the red herring fallacy is amusing because it creates an image that is deliberately misleading but diverts the attention from the original argument. Therefore, they both are able to serve a purpose because of skilled manipulation that cannot be charged as false advertising.

"Fallacies and Errors in Sound Reasoning"
There are several types of fallacies – equivocation, false authority, ad hominem, appeal to ignorance and bandwagon. Please provide two (2) different examples of advertising that show any of the above topics. Which of the above fallacies is used in each advertisement? Why do you think the advertisers used that fallacy in the ad? Did the advertisers use the fallacy effectively? If you were an advertiser, what would you have done differently to better use the fallacy?
Speak A New Language In 3 Weeks With This App
https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/speak-a-new-language-in-3-weeks-with-this-app?
In this commercialized website the Appeal to Ignorance is a fallacy in which the claim is that a new language can be spoken in three weeks with an App. Because of the possibility of not being able to prove false, it must be true unless an opponent can disprove the claim.
This website is more or less guaranteeing the ability to learn a language in three week but it seems questionable because of the possible hidden resistance, bias and possible racism that would probably hinder a progressive assimilation. Therefore, if it can’t be disproven then it is possible.
Thank you.

2016 Doritos Superbowl Commercial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgEvD2ygJp0
In this commercial the appeal to popularity is evidenced that even the good flavor and delicious taste of Doritos is embraced by the very young. If a baby in the embryol stage loves Doritos and comes with extra sensitive perception thru the ultra sound and comes early to share some then everyone of all ages will love and buy Doritos.
In this sense, the choice is highlighted and hidden but obvious. Also, deductive and inductive is the image that speaks louder than words by the portrayal.
Gabby the Clown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMZChujwrBs
No. 10 Android, Rock, Paper, Scissors
In this commercial, Gabby starts school and is bullied and Scissors saves her and learns bravery to save Rock. The goal is to stand together, fight the bullies off and accept the whatever. Become brave even though weak and learn to conquer as one. Therefore, the Post hoc ergo propter hoc is realized because a correlation is reflected by an example of interacted display of support that teaches care and protection to form a chain of distributed support to be used as an exemplary example to protect and pass on and become united as separate individuals with respect for differences and uniqueness.

Speak A New Language In 3 Weeks With This App
https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/speak-a-new-language-in-3-weeks-with-this-app?
In this commercialized website the Appeal to Ignorance is a fallacy in which the claim is that a new language can be spoken in three weeks with an App. Because of the possibility of not being able to prove false, it must be true unless an opponent can disprove the claim.
This website is more or less guaranteeing the ability to learn a language in three week but it seems questionable because of the possible hidden resistance, bias and possible racism that would probably hinder a progressive assimilation. Therefore, if it can’t be disproven then it is possible.
Thank you.

2016 Doritos Superbowl Commercial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgEvD2ygJp0
In this commercial the appeal to popularity is evidenced that even the good flavor and delicious taste of Doritos is embraced by the very young. If a baby in the embryol stage loves Doritos and comes with extra sensitive perception thru the ultra sound and comes early to share some then everyone of all ages will love and buy Doritos.
In this sense, the choice is highlighted and hidden but obvious. Also, deductive and inductive is the image that speaks louder than words by the portrayal.
Gabby the Clown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMZChujwrBs
No. 10 Android, Rock, Paper, Scissors
In this commercial, Gabby starts school and is bullied and Scissors saves her and learns bravery to save Rock. The goal is to stand together, fight the bullies off and accept the whatever. Become brave even though weak and learn to conquer as one. Therefore, the Post hoc ergo propter hoc is realized because a correlation is reflected by an example of interacted display of support that teaches care and protection to form a chain of distributed support to be used as an exemplary example to protect and pass on and become united as separate individuals with respect for differences and uniqueness.

PHIL210 CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION 3
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
It appears that there are two arguments - both major premises. Removal of illegal aliens that pose a danger to the American populace, will save jobs and millions of dollars, forced relocation is a minor premise, and the conclusions is zero tolerance for criminal aliens and building of the great wall on the Southern borders aligned to Mexico.
The argument is the subject and is supported by reasons why necessary as well as a conclusion.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that the major premise is "with a name like Smuckers" and the minor premise "it has to be good" is used as an associative. Therefore, when the name "Smuckers" appears it becomes an assertion with confidence. The conclusion is not that everyone likes jams, jellies or preserves but that it is a slogan that they put in an effort to please their customers. In order to invalidate, all the populace would have to hate it and not buy.
Thank you.

"Understanding and Analyzing Arguments"
Use the Internet to search an example of an enthymeme in the media (e.g., Internet, television, radio, newspapers, etc.). Next, explain the example you searched and identify the implied premise in the enthymeme example.
The example that I researched pertains to this website ʽEnthymeme, or are you thinking what I`m thinking?ʼ In this display, whether the major premise is evident (or unstated) and then may allow a minor premise to be stated with a conclusionary stated as final conclusion.
The purpose is to use implication and then an associative to render a conclusion based on the implication itself. Further it is summarily burdened with the responsibility of being the ʽburden of proofʼ for indeed the rhetortical is the associative that connects the subject`s statement with a conclusion. Also, a major premise (is the subject or relating to the subject with the minor premise making a correlating pattern or making association and lastly with a conclusion).
Further, enthymeme is also referred to in ʽIntroduction to Logicʼ with the possibility with either a premise or a conclusion not stated but can be used if an inference is possible with the rhetorical value emphasized.
Example 1,
If a cloud is mist (major premise - unstated)
Theoretically it has no consistency (minor – stated)
Therefore, the cloud is not solid (conclusion – stated)
Consequently, the argument is supplied and supported because it validates what a cloud is and a supportive that makes an associative and allows the conclusion to render a support and final summarization that the cloud is not solid.
Example 2,
All wheels are round (major premise – unstated)
Wheels are good to roll (minor – stated)
Therefore, wheels help things go around – minor – stated)
The subject argument is that wheels are round, the minor is that wheels are good to roll and conclusion is that wheels are helpful in making things go around.
Thank you.

PHIL210 CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION 2
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that it is a "woman's fundamental right" to consider abortion or to keep her child or children. If a woman's right is upsurped she is less than human and is considered chattel or property. I feel that with each decision all should be consulted ... her parents and partner she conceived the children with to make a decision.
If in the case of a Black female and it is done forcibly by White people (with Black people assisting) there should be a conclusive reason as to why. For example, inheritory disease or inheritory mental disorder to make a drastic decision because the procedure is dangerous. If there is no reason, I consider the manner murder, racist, hate and genocide. Further it is an act of an atheist and in defiance of God.
Thank you.

I agree with your post that with the parent's ability to purchase or acquire uniforms this allows full focus on being educated and the right to freedom and justice in this land and everywhere else. Also, hopefully the activity of gangs will diminish when the true affiliation of the acts to gain entry are considered at what this will cost them ... my life ... my future ... or a complete desolate life of being despised.
I agree that it helps with readying the child for school and improves punctuality even thou students resent uniforms it allows a more neutral ground for students, teachers and the school. I partially disagree with the Con #2 ... I feel that uniforms help because parents won't send the kids if they don't have clothing but if they can have uniforms that they can afford this dispels some of the despair and concern for their child's psychological feelings.
I also disagree partially with school uniforms and freedom of expression these do not restrict but cause an inability to develop a clothing persona and personal taste but it is only a temporary stall because they have free dress now at school now that they can earn.
Thank you.

Is the use of Standardized Test Improving Education in America?
PROS
PRO 2
Standardized tests are reliable and objective measures of student achievement
PRO 4
Standardized tests are inclusive and non-discriminatory because they ensure content is equivalent for all
PRO 7
Standardized tests are narrowing the curriculum, rather they are focusing it on important basic skills all students need to master
CONS
CON 1
Standardized testing has not improved student achievement
CON 4
Standardized tests measure only a small portion of what makes education meaningful
CON 8
Standardized tests are not objective
STARDARDIZED TESTS
One of the concerns of evaluative testing is its true purpose and what aspect does it truly fulfill. In a nation of cumulative scrutiny and evaluation the purpose of testing is first to measure a student’s progress and assimilation of given material and as well as ability to evolve. As tests are prepared to reflect an analysis of overall progress of students area by area so does the need to ensure fairness, equality and equivancy with a look of guidance to ensure a viewpoint to measure the mental acuity of each student. But in effect standardized tests cannot measure the curriculum but it more or less serves as a guideline to ensure that the basic skills are being assimilated. Therefore, actively standardized tests are limited in its ability to gauge what is needed to generate whether it can state that fairness exists in these tests.
Affective bias is a level that all standardized test have because of cultural differences, levels of supportive family education, interactive ability, social consensus, peer association and pressure, English level of English spoken and read, mental acuity and awareness, level of understanding and ability to process and other factors.
Therefore, in effect the scorage is not a true representation but is rendered in progressive bias when comparisons are done between races due to a lack of communication equivalency and a lack of educational ability to progress due to a lack of exposure and narrowed unexpanded life.
Unfortunately, when a rendering of a decision of ability, talent and mental acuity the depressed segments of the populace reflect inability, not capable of assimilation and looked as dismal people incapable of absorbing any type of knowledge but the basic of the basic.
Summarily, standardized tests are limited evaluations but serve as tested, accumulated data to reflect that in the impoverished communities a similar curriculum is not being taught and that the terminology, written cases are like a foreign language and cause extreme difficulty due to ignorance and not mental acuity.
My point is exposure to widen the horizons with more written details will also help in the progressive stage of accumulating a more logical approach and ableness to become more competitive on tests as more knowledge is gained and absorbed.
Describe your reaction to your experience of these biases.
My position is therefore simple the testing of students will always have an inherency of unfairness, bias and flaw in the ability to test and make a true summation that basic skills are being taught properly, as well as that it reveals a seemingly hidden mockery of the education system when the reflections or consequences found are known that Black students are not being taught the same as White students. Further the systematic oppression is buried in the form and presentation of education and the standardized test is proof needed that these tests are based upon willing oppression and regulatory position in a country of suppression.
Lastly, my reactions to these bias are that the cumulative ability of these students are hindered and hampered and that the stereotypes are reinforced by the scorage on test and reflective reception. As such the change has to be done to change the act and presentation of education to an equal level to ensure exposure to terminology, language development, reading comprehension, math, and sciences are done to be used as a focal point in daily life. By doing this all will be able to have better scores and avenues of success.
Further, this overall critique will prove that an equal opportunity to learn is being done, Also, the scores allow the pinpointing of weaknesses of the students and then allow a modification plan to help or aid in the learning of material that students are deficit in.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that in your field as a business analyst your position entails a serious amount of critical thinking and various stages of analysis. Meeting the scope, depth and technical avenue that is needed is probably the hardest of the procedure with the assessing the second hardest. But once the idea is floating the necessary changes and alterations make it easier and easier as the step of critical thinking moves in and allows successful change and meeting of goals.
Further the demonstrating of critical thinking skills is reflective with the introductory theory, modified plan and strategic approach that is used to accomplish the end goal. I agree that with a plan, approach, technical skills the implementing of solutions is a major accomplishment and help in getting steps done. If man is human his ability to learn to think critically is already accomplished and enabled.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that critical thinking involves the ability to use concepts and ideas in the processing and critiquing a point, idea, procedure or process to be done. As reflective on critical thinking this would also consist of strategic planning done mentally to incorporate an idea and merge into daily usage and procedures. Further critical thinking is a process that uses thoughts almost on a spinial (dial) that turns constantly with choices, ideas, and alternatives when working on a singular or multi-level project. The concept is wonderful because it allows flexibility and alternatives and is not fixed in a mold.
Further, I agree without input the ability to provide output is difficult without a brief analysis. Gaining the idea or theory is and viewing and placing it in your mind in 3D format and mentally turn it around in your mind imagining alternatives to change it, streamline it and make it more faster, efficient, thorough and allow avenues to change, modify and evolve it further.
Again, knowledge is the key and with an informed approach this makes it simplier and more. I also concur on the points get informed, knowledge and test the waters to see what you need to make anything a success.
With critical thinking imagine a scenario … Island…yourself…network…technical details…input needed…concepts to use in evaluation…plan…modified ability…future…gain. What do I need to do first? is the question then possible changes, use feelers and probes when critiquing and audience reception at the end. I enjoyed your post.

"Critical Thinking in the Workplace"
The video clip “Thinking on the Job” in the Webtext this week illustrates the importance of critical thinking, especially in work contexts. Define the concept of critical thinking in your own words. Discuss a time in either your work or personal life in which you needed to be able to use critical thinking to either solve a problem or acquire a skill.
Critical thinking is a symbolic function of analyzation and mental processing that allows contemplation, short or long term evaluating argument. Further it allows the ability to mentally inwardly and outwardly critique a concept, theory or questionable analogy to preview it intelligently to allow decision making.
With the states of thinking with concentration of criticism it allows the incorporation of five thinking styles of synthesism, idealism, pragmatism in thought, analysism and realism thought which allows a complementary approach to equitable categories of framing a theoretical approach to support a critical thought platform.
Further the purpose of critical thinking is to elevate thought as well as cognitive recognition to provide extension and expansion which envelops evolution.
A time in my life which would involve work that I used critical thinking is evaluative and formation of forms, scanning program that included the initiation process from start to finish with pictorial steps and written directions, also the processing of legal documentations. In my personal life I have did my own flyers which gave descriptive explanation of the product to be sold, prices and availability as well as delivery option, brief analysis of poems, prose and poetry and my own personal website which I intend to publish shortly …. feliciaswritingjournal.blogspot.com/.
Also, any class that I have undertaken requires critical thinking to form an analysis, theory to effect completion and change desired.

Determine the manner in which you would show a potential employer that you possess solid critical thinking skills. Give your opinion on whether or not you believe that individuals can increase their critical thinking skills. If you believe that they can, explain certain steps that individuals can take to improve this skill.
As with professionalism and as a written visualization of self the purposeful step in presenting to a potential employer that critical thinking skills are present would be by presenting a portfolio of work that has been achieved by either by website or examples of completed projects that reflects the desired trait. Further an invite to discuss any manner that position requires would also be a test of knowledge and critical thinking skills in possession. Also, the ability to harness thought and elevate the levels of thought to be a more predatory critical thinking chain is to hone it and refine it by changing level of perception, and make the internal visual stronger as well as change the impactive imaginability to almost an inner 3d imagery mentally. Learn any structuralized computer programming, chess, logic classes that cause stress and continual thought upscale. Never forget pain is gain. When something hurts something is learned and you own it and then kick it around and improve it.
