argument and how certain types of statements can affect the validity of
an argument. As you learned in the readings this week, arguments are
used to convince us of an outcome. You read about how to identify an
issue, the role that issues play in arguments, how to differentiate
between an argument and rhetoric, and the different types of arguments
you may encounter. In this assignment, you will choose an issue to
evaluate, then respond to questions about the issue you selected.

HUM 115 Assignment Week 5 Applying Critical
Thinking Reflection

7. Over the past five weeks you have learned about different elements
related to critical thinking. You related the concepts to your personal
experiences, and evaluated your critical thinking skills. You've identified
fallacies, evaluated arguments, and learned the role of these concepts in
your daily life. Now it's time to apply the concepts together. In this
assignment, you will review a real-world scenario and apply the critical
thinking skills you have developed.
Review the Critical Thinking Scenario.
Write a 350- to 700-word reflection on the scenario, using the
Reflection Template. Follow the instructions within the template to
complete your reflection. You will need to include an introduction
paragraph to introduce your reader to the topics you will be discussing; 3
body paragraphs, each with specific questions that need to be addressed
within; and a conclusion paragraph to bring your paper to a close.
Note: The Reflection Template is already formatted appropriately, and
you do not need to make any changes to the format. Be sure to
demonstrate your critical thinking abilities in your responses to the
questions, and ensure your paper flows well from topic to topic.
Submit your assignment.
Critical Thinking Scenario
Sally is a 34-year-old woman who works in the customer service
department for a small company that sells printers. Her job involves
speaking with customers and addressing their concerns for 8 hours a
day. Unfortunately for Sally, customers only reach out to her
department when there is an issue with their printers.
After a long day of listening to customer complaints, she felt drained and
agitated. She wanted to relax, so she went to dinner with some
colleagues. The colleagues began discussing an issue at work that was
causing friction between departments. Sally did not agree with her
colleagues’ viewpoint on the causes of that friction, but she did not want
to say anything because she felt that she did not know enough about the
topic. She decided that after this dinner, she would not spend time with
these colleagues outside of work anymore. For the remaining part of the

8. discussion, Sally nodded her head and appeared to agree with her
colleagues in order to avoid confrontation.
The next day at work, Sally spoke with a customer who disagreed with
the warranty policy of the company. The customer explained to Sally
that he understood the terms of the warranty, but he described how vital
his printer was to his business. He went on to share how the ability to
print materials equated to his ability to put food on the table for his
family. He asked if there was anything that Sally could do to help. Sally
imagined herself in the customer’s position, and decided to look into
additional options for the customer. In the end, Sally was able to de-
escalate the situation and assist the customer.
This interaction with the customer led her to question their warranty, and
she decided to speak with her manager to see if it could be changed. She
stated that the current warranty policy was inadequate because it did not
provide customers with enough time to determine if the product would
function appropriately. She provided supporting evidence to show that
many printers failed only 1 month after the 1-year warranty expired. She
also calculated the number of those customers with failed printers that
did buy a replacement printer from the company Sally worked for. Sally
proposed that the warranty be extended to 18 months. Unfortunately her
manager did not agree with her argument, and replied to her by asking:
“How can you be arguing for change in policy when you are late to work
most of the time?” However, the manager did not provide an argument
against extending the warranty, so Sally decided she would continue to
argue for changing the warranty with the company’s leadership. After
several meetings with the company’s owner, Sally was able to get her
proposal approved and the warranties extended.
