Critical Thinking In Basic Anatomy And Physiology
Critical thinking skills are essential for a person in a career that requires the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. For example, on a daily basis
physicians encounter situations in which there are multiple solutions or treatments. The physician must determine the solution that will provide the
best outcome for the patient. Ten patients might have the exact same symptoms, however each patient has different medical issues or other
circumstances that need to be considered. The physician must recognize that the course of treatment for one patient might not be appropriate for
another. Strong critical thinking skills will allow the physician to quickly and confidently assess situations and make the best care decision in each
unique scenario. In addition, it is important for the physician to use creative thinking; brainstorming on all possible treatment options, doing things a
different way and thinking outside the box can lead to a positive patient outcome that might not have otherwise occurred.
I use critical thinking skills in Basic Anatomy and Physiology when I read the assigned chapters. When reading, I think of a scenario or past
knowledge in order to solidify my understanding of the material. For example, when reading about the reproductive...show more content...

Critical Thinking Examples
The word "thinking", defined by Merriam Webster, is the act of utilizing one's intellect to produce their reflection upon the given topic. In my opinion,
"thinking" is a deliberate response to the person's question. Even though our logic has many variations, the outcome would have an abundance of
answers. Knowing that our mind develops vast amount of interpretation, we have a different mindset with our response whether it is Natural or Critical
Thinking. Natural Thinking is identified a mental process without having any reason or logic to what you are going to say. For instance, Natural
Thinking is the first impression that comes up from the person's head without any reflection on what they're going to announce. The characteristics of

Moreover, Critical Thinking is being mindful with your words before saying it while trying not to belittle them due to your statement. Some
characteristics of Critical Thinking is asking questions, considerations, and are open minded with their decisions. It is very crucial to use Critical
Thinking in my everyday activities because it's key to not jump straight to the answer, but to question myself if I'm making a wise decision. I tend to
use Critical Thinking before purchasing any basketball shoes because I want a shoe that will be durable and I'm very meticulous about the material.
By doing so, I have a basketball shoe that will last at least a year compared to buying a new shoe after wearing the other shoe ten times due to sole
separation. It is appropriate to use Critical Thinking when I'm around my classmates because I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm a racist or a
mean person due to my poor word choices. Critical Thinking has helped me gain a greater self–awareness with my word choice by not rubbing them
the wrong way due to my poor execution with words and has helped me better communicate to those that are a stranger to my life and during the

Example Of Critical Thinking Examples
The concept of critical thinking in my eyes basically means thinking outside the box! In other words, means to think about the topic or situation in
another way then what the specific reason should be. I think we all think outside the box and we think that a certain situation should be done
another way. For example, I work in the claims department for life insurance and I code a lot of different reasons for cause of death. When I look at
a death certificate there are multiple reasons to why the insured has passed away from but I need to be specific on the cause of death. I have to think

Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving
Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving
Critical thinking and creative problem solving working together can enhance a person's creative skills. However, if there is not a correct balance
between the two, a person may not find the correct resolution. To find the right balance between critical thinking and creative problem solving, one
must understand the similarities and differences between the two. This paper will attempt to show those ideas.

Similarities and Differences
Prior to completing this paper, I thought that critical thinking and creative problem solving were very different. However, I find that they are very
much alike. Critical thinking and creative problem solving follow very similar steps to reach a solution.
Conceptualizing and preparing are the beginning phases at which time one realizes there is a problem. Stage two is the applying and analyzing or
incubation stage. After success has been reached at this stage, the process proceeds to the synthesizing or illumination stage. This could also be
considered the Aha stage where an idea comes to light. The last stage is the evaluation or verification to determine the success of the solution.
One difference that should be discussed is that the creative process appears to be more open and looks for more than one resolution to a problem. An
example of this is the story at the end of chapter nine. The question presented was "Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building
with the aid of barometer" (Dacey & Lennon, 1998, p. 185). The professor expected an answer using physics logic, but the student was creative
and thought outside the box. By doing this, there were many answers to the question. The critical thinking process is rigid and expects to find only one
resolution.

Essay on What is Critical Thinking?
What is Critical Thinking? Is the process of conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and /or evaluating information gathered by
observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action (Scriven & Paul, n.d.). When one applies critical
thinking more ideas are develop, fewer mistakes are made and better decisions are reached. When people instead of using critical thinking act on
beliefs or without giving it a second thought, the end results are poor decisions and as a result have a disaster at hand. People don't always use critical

Many times our students have unexpected behaviors, such as refuse to follow directions, have disrupt outburst, hostile, emotional problems, and
even become physical towards others or themselves. Special education students do not respond to traditional discipline methods. With children
having disabilities like ADHD, or mental health problems if not handled appropriately it the bad behavior could escalate and become difficult to
stop. What role does critical thinking have in my analytical and intuitive decision making while I am work? It is a tool used to help solve problems,
if my thinking is flawed then decisions are skewed and the problem is not solved, making poor decisions could create more problems could result in
putting myself or others in danger. Using critical thinking increases the probability of solving the problem through better choices and decisions. Every
day as an instructional aide I use my critical thinking skills when deciding whether an impending conflict will escalate to violent behavior, deciding on

Racism And Critical Thinking Essay
Racism cannot be rationally justified. Firstly, the pseudoscience facts about racial differentiation by scientists have no scientific basis behind the
ideology of racism. Secondly, racism harms the physical and emotional well being of individuals, leading to the violation of their human rights,
preserving inequality. Lastly, the ideology ofracism demonstrates a poor evaluation of an individual, ergo it proves a lack of critical thinking.
The violent ideology known as racism is defined by many as "the result of perceiving one group as superior over another" (Quoted in Keister and
Darby, 284). This is when a dominant power in a society oppresses the minority power by prejudging the minorities attributes, commonly their race.

Critical thinking is based on how you evaluate a certain situation. To be a critical thinker, you would have to apply no bias to a situation and evaluate
the motives of a person or group. Critical thinking is important because it helps question and evaluate arguments in order to properly justify a position
(Vaughn and MacDonald, 20). A critical thinker looks for all evidence, which is a prime example in justifying how those who believed in scientific
racism lacked in critical thinking. The scientists created a bias towards the different skulls based on which race the skull came from. This was then
carried on in slavery as the whites dehumanize the other races, creating inequality based on a lack of critical thinking. This character defect among "the
invisibility of most mechanisms to reproduce racial inequality" (Bonilla–Silva, 26) throughout history was unjustified as they did not comprehend the
explanation of the Human Genome Project, continuing the unequal racial hierarchy. In today's time, critical thinkers have viewed this violent ideology
and have tried to educated those in society. Yet, there are still groups like the "KKK" that have not looked past the pseudoscience, and have not grasped

Many problems were quickly identified such as, there were many points where personnel had to lift product from floor level to a delivery wagon,
product rotation in regard to expiration date, identification labels, access to materials/products, customer ordering times and customer ordering
quantities. The team brainstormed ideas for each of the problems, evaluated which ideas were suited best for each problem and then physically
began to implement the ideas. The first problem dealing with personnel lifting too many products from floor level was solved by replacing the
wagons with delivery carts with no side rails and placing the products on stands that kept the products close to waist level. This way the product was
loaded on to the cart there was very little lifting, mainly just sliding the product onto the cart which was purchased to coincide with the storage level
of the product. Product rotation where you want to give the customer the oldest product to keep product from expiring was the cause of a lot of
double movement when bringing in new products. This was solved by storing all the products in the middle of the storage rooms instead of up against
a wall, this way personnel could walk completely around the product not having to rotate older material to the front each time new material arrived.

Examples Of Critical Thinking
Based on Michael Scriven & Richard Paul (2003), critical thinking is the active intellectually disciplined process through skillfully conceptualizing,
applying, analyzing, synthesizing, assessing resources generated by observation, experience, reflecting or reasoning, as a conduct to the belief.
Undeniable, critical thinking helps us attain knowledge, enhance theories and strengthen arguments, thus it will indirectly improve our work processes
and social establishment. In my opinion, critical thinking is to think clear and rationally, question, analyze and evaluate it, hence to make a reasoning
judgment. It is an active process where engages reflective and independent thinking. John Dewey (1909) mentioned that critical thinking is reflective
thought to suspend judgment, persist in a healthy skepticism and employ an open mind. According to Dewey (1909), critical thinking is active,
persistent, and careful consideration of any belief in light of the ground that supports it and tends to the further conclusions. Active process is referred

Richard Paul (1993) focused critical thinking in that mode of thinking where the thinkers enhance the quality of their thinking by skillfully taking
charge in thinking and imposing intellectual standards. Based on Richard Paul, the sole method to develop critical thinking ability is through thinking
about one's thinking. Critical thinking is definitely different from just thinking. It is metacognitive, thinking about your thinking, during the process of
thinking, it will improve your thinking. Critical thinking starts once the reflection on his thinking, for example, students evaluate each of their work,

The concepts of critical thinking and creative thinking are both gaining increasing importance in the world today. Critical thinking allows people to
understand difficult concepts in a manner that is clearer and more defined. They can more readily understand those concepts if they employ critical

Critical thinking also helps in decision–making. Both problem solving and decision–making abilities are vital to a prosperous business. Persons who
are critical thinkers can make a difference in the companies in which they are employed. Today?s corporations must first recognize that there is a real
need for critical thinkers. It is important for both the top management down the line. Critical thinking must be taught and built in to the way the
company or organization performs its business. In fact, companies and organizations must embrace the concept of critical thinking. Critical thinking
can lead to success story after success story. This type of impact gives any company or organization credibility. According to Supon, one of the
fundamental purposes of teaching critical thinking is to enhance the abilities of students to become critical thinkers. Corporate leaders, educational
researchers, employers, and parents have continually pushed teachers to assist their students in the development of critical thinking ability. Critical
thinking is a skill that ?involved not only knowledge of content by also concept formation and analysis, reasoning and drawing conclusions, recognizing
and avoiding contradiction, and other essential cognitive activities? (Supon, 1998). There are proposed reasons for the emphasis that is currently on

Reflective Essay On Critical Thinking
Questioning and challenging my assumptions and attitudes about critical thinking is a new process for me, but I do appreciate that to develop and
enhance my assumptions and other mindsets it is an important undertaking. Looking at what we hold to be true is an endeavor well trenched into us
as we evolved. "The real value of critical thinking is that it's been at the root of all human progress" (Rabinowitz, 2015).
Being challenged on my thinking is difficult, but once I got through the difficulty I realized it was for my betterment as a student and as a teacher. My
prior experience as an undergraduate in early childhood education with Bloom's focused mainly on the cognitive domain and thus I cannot recall the
affective or psychomotor domains being addressed. However, as I began to understand that "the committee identified three domains of educational
activities or learning" (Bloom, 1956 as cited by Clark, 2015), I realized that I did have assumptions and that they were being challenged. First of all, I
did assume that Bloom's focus on cognitive development devalues the importance of other domains and secondly that Bloom's Taxonomy is only used
by educators in K–12 and college. Interestingly, both have since been challenged and changed through my readings as "it is important to note that the
most common usage of Bloom's Taxonomy focuses on cognitive learning skills rather than psychomotor or affective skills, two domains that are

A person will be prejudiced to certain opinions without exploring all sides of an issue. People create barriers that stop the gathering of information and
analyzing that are key to being a critical thinker. A few of the resistances that foster narrow–mindedness are denial, the refusal to believe something
despite overwhelming evidence, avoidance, not seeking out opposing views but staying with only those that agree with your position on an issue,
and ignorance, not seeking out information that is available(Boss, 2010). The two resistances that I have used are avoidance and conformity. These
two go hand in hand with me that I will often seek out those that agree with my thoughts and avoid those that do not see things the way I do. At
times, I will be with those that I do not agree with and those times instead of having a conversation, I will go with conformity to fit in at those times.
Adjusting my thinking to overcome these will first require me to seek out and listen to both sides of the issues. Having the knowledge that is not
based on biased opinions will help make a foundation that will increase my confidence in what I think and allow me to speak intelligently on the issue.

perspective, analyzing, information seeking,
Inquisitiveness, intellectual integrity, intuition, open–mindedness, reflection, transforming knowledge, confidence, predicting, and logical reasoning.
My weakest are flexibility, creativity, applying standards and discriminating. I am not somebody who easily give up when I make up mind to do
something and this quality nas been part of me since childhood. Perseverance: When I make up my mind to accomplish something good., Nothing can
stop me from achieving the goal. Contextual perspective: I am calm but collective person and so when something is happening, I do sit down quietly
and ponder over a whole of things put them together. Analyze them to draw up a solution to a problem. Analysis:
Whenever I am facing a problem or issue, I can assess the issue, break them down to find ways of solving the issue. Information seeking: When ever I
am facing a situation, I try to calm myself down, ask myself questions about how, what I can do, who to talk with, to gather information.
Inquisitiveness: I am very curious person and i always eager to understand things going on around me by asking questions, search for solutions to the
problem, making inquiries from friends, colleagues, professors, books, internet to acquire knowledge and to explore possible ways of solving issues.
Intellectual integrity: I like to be honest and like things to be done the normal or the standard way. I am very consistent in what i do. Intuition: I like to
listen to my instinct I am most of the time right. I am also very sensitive to my surroundings and this at times helps me gain insight into problems to
solve them. Open–mindedness; I am always ready to listen to others, thinks about how accurate and logical about what they say. If there is truth and

The tower, with its 211 columns and arches, and circular design like many of the grand towers and buildings constructed during its time, are a
testament to the beauty and ingenuity of architects of the time. They built monumental structures with intricate detail and masterful columns with
limited means to construct compared to the standards of today. That being said, the Leaning Tower Pisa is clearly an engineering failure. According
to Wikispaces (2014), construction of the tower began in 1172 and took nearly 200 years to complete due to halts in construction. Those halts are
said to be caused by a lack of money, war, and most importantly the lean that was noticeable by the time three stories were completed in 1178
(Wikispaces, 2014). While it is unknown who the actual architect was, it is thought they were unaware of the soft clay they were building upon.
Numerous sources report that the lean is due not only to the soft ground the building lies on but also the design of the tower itself. Its tall, slender
design caused the ground to sustain increased pressure over a smaller area than many regular buildings like the cathedral which stands next to the tower.
Madrid Engineering Group (2011) reported that this pressure, coupled with the fact that the three meter foundation was inadequate, caused the soft silt

Fallacies are divided into two main categories: irrelevant premises and unacceptable premises. A fallacy that falls under the irrelevant premises is
appeal to the person. Appeal to the person is rejecting the claim not because of the claim itself, but because of the person who makes the claim. In
the workplace, someone could suggest a pleasing idea, but because of the individual it came from, an idea that could have been exertive is now
useless. Another fallacy is appeal to popularity, arguing that a claim must be true solely because a significant number of people believe it.
Because the majority says something, does not mean that it is always right. What an individual believe is extraneous. Something could happen at
work where there is a counterfactual mistake, but because merely everyone believes it, it can produce many mistakes. Appeal to tradition is
another fallacy that an individual can examine while in a work setting. Many people believe only what is connected to their traditions and beliefs.
This is fallacious because everyone has a different belief and while in a work setting, you are going to work with people who have very different
belief systems. While applying a person's guilt, anger, resentment, pity, etc. to get what you want, you are appealing to emotion. A person is

The terms "Critical", "Criticism" and "Critic" all begin from the ancient Greek word "Kritikos", meaning able to judge, distinguish or choose In
modern English, a "Critic" is somebody whose job is to create evaluative judgements, for example, on films, books, music or food. It means expressing
a fair and unprejudiced opinion on something. As far as Education is concerned, critical thinking is a cognitive activity related to using mind. Learning
to think in vital, diagnostic and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention, categorisation, selection and judgement. Critical
thinking is the capacity to transfer knowledge learned from certain disciplines to other cognitive areas (Bronson, 2008). It involves not only the...show

( Friere 1989; Kincheloe 2004) . Critical pedagogy is a personal life long journey. It is qualitatively different for each early childhood and
elementary teacher and candidate because every person has a unique world view. It is through reflection on our lived experiences, especially in
classroom with young children, that we can choose to look more introspectively as if into a prism and visualise how the common place could be
further interpreted by each of our students or co–workers and try to accept life from their perspectives.(Friere 1989). Critical pedagogy assists us in
understanding what happens when we fail to take into account the richness of cultural knowledge that walks into the classroom with our students and
families. (Darder, Baltodano and Tore (2009) ,Greene (1995), remind us that critical pedagogy has the potential to illuminate teachers thinking and
enhance their teaching

Critical Thinking In Basic Anatomy And Physiology

  • 1. Critical Thinking In Basic Anatomy And Physiology Critical thinking skills are essential for a person in a career that requires the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. For example, on a daily basis physicians encounter situations in which there are multiple solutions or treatments. The physician must determine the solution that will provide the best outcome for the patient. Ten patients might have the exact same symptoms, however each patient has different medical issues or other circumstances that need to be considered. The physician must recognize that the course of treatment for one patient might not be appropriate for another. Strong critical thinking skills will allow the physician to quickly and confidently assess situations and make the best care decision in each unique scenario. In addition, it is important for the physician to use creative thinking; brainstorming on all possible treatment options, doing things a different way and thinking outside the box can lead to a positive patient outcome that might not have otherwise occurred. I use critical thinking skills in Basic Anatomy and Physiology when I read the assigned chapters. When reading, I think of a scenario or past knowledge in order to solidify my understanding of the material. For example, when reading about the reproductive...show more content... First, I must make sure I have the right environment for studying. Over the winter break, I will make a distraction free "study zone" in the basement. I can think out loud as I walk myself through whatever concept I'm learning. Also, to monitor my understanding of what I am studying, I can use a reading technique such as asking myself questions to confirm my comprehension. Finally, by understanding my learning style, I can use that to my advantage. I can take more in–person classes to get exposure to seeing and hearing course material, and continue to use YouTube as an additional source of Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Critical Thinking Examples The word "thinking", defined by Merriam Webster, is the act of utilizing one's intellect to produce their reflection upon the given topic. In my opinion, "thinking" is a deliberate response to the person's question. Even though our logic has many variations, the outcome would have an abundance of answers. Knowing that our mind develops vast amount of interpretation, we have a different mindset with our response whether it is Natural or Critical Thinking. Natural Thinking is identified a mental process without having any reason or logic to what you are going to say. For instance, Natural Thinking is the first impression that comes up from the person's head without any reflection on what they're going to announce. The characteristics of Natural...show more content... Moreover, Critical Thinking is being mindful with your words before saying it while trying not to belittle them due to your statement. Some characteristics of Critical Thinking is asking questions, considerations, and are open minded with their decisions. It is very crucial to use Critical Thinking in my everyday activities because it's key to not jump straight to the answer, but to question myself if I'm making a wise decision. I tend to use Critical Thinking before purchasing any basketball shoes because I want a shoe that will be durable and I'm very meticulous about the material. By doing so, I have a basketball shoe that will last at least a year compared to buying a new shoe after wearing the other shoe ten times due to sole separation. It is appropriate to use Critical Thinking when I'm around my classmates because I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm a racist or a mean person due to my poor word choices. Critical Thinking has helped me gain a greater self–awareness with my word choice by not rubbing them the wrong way due to my poor execution with words and has helped me better communicate to those that are a stranger to my life and during the process making them a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Example Of Critical Thinking Examples The concept of critical thinking in my eyes basically means thinking outside the box! In other words, means to think about the topic or situation in another way then what the specific reason should be. I think we all think outside the box and we think that a certain situation should be done another way. For example, I work in the claims department for life insurance and I code a lot of different reasons for cause of death. When I look at a death certificate there are multiple reasons to why the insured has passed away from but I need to be specific on the cause of death. I have to think outside the box about the main reason why the insured passed away from what illness and then start coding it from the different causes they have had listed Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving Critical thinking and creative problem solving working together can enhance a person's creative skills. However, if there is not a correct balance between the two, a person may not find the correct resolution. To find the right balance between critical thinking and creative problem solving, one must understand the similarities and differences between the two. This paper will attempt to show those ideas. Critical Thinking According to Shah (2010) and the American Heritage Dictionary, critical thinking is defined as "The mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to...show more content... Similarities and Differences Prior to completing this paper, I thought that critical thinking and creative problem solving were very different. However, I find that they are very much alike. Critical thinking and creative problem solving follow very similar steps to reach a solution. Conceptualizing and preparing are the beginning phases at which time one realizes there is a problem. Stage two is the applying and analyzing or incubation stage. After success has been reached at this stage, the process proceeds to the synthesizing or illumination stage. This could also be considered the Aha stage where an idea comes to light. The last stage is the evaluation or verification to determine the success of the solution. One difference that should be discussed is that the creative process appears to be more open and looks for more than one resolution to a problem. An example of this is the story at the end of chapter nine. The question presented was "Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of barometer" (Dacey & Lennon, 1998, p. 185). The professor expected an answer using physics logic, but the student was creative and thought outside the box. By doing this, there were many answers to the question. The critical thinking process is rigid and expects to find only one resolution. My Experiences One experience that comes to mind involving creative problem solving came in my tenure as Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Essay on What is Critical Thinking? What is Critical Thinking? Is the process of conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and /or evaluating information gathered by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action (Scriven & Paul, n.d.). When one applies critical thinking more ideas are develop, fewer mistakes are made and better decisions are reached. When people instead of using critical thinking act on beliefs or without giving it a second thought, the end results are poor decisions and as a result have a disaster at hand. People don't always use critical thinking, it is not uncommon to hear someone say such remarks after making the wrong decisions; "I just was not thinking", "I did not think it was a big deal",...show more content... Many times our students have unexpected behaviors, such as refuse to follow directions, have disrupt outburst, hostile, emotional problems, and even become physical towards others or themselves. Special education students do not respond to traditional discipline methods. With children having disabilities like ADHD, or mental health problems if not handled appropriately it the bad behavior could escalate and become difficult to stop. What role does critical thinking have in my analytical and intuitive decision making while I am work? It is a tool used to help solve problems, if my thinking is flawed then decisions are skewed and the problem is not solved, making poor decisions could create more problems could result in putting myself or others in danger. Using critical thinking increases the probability of solving the problem through better choices and decisions. Every day as an instructional aide I use my critical thinking skills when deciding whether an impending conflict will escalate to violent behavior, deciding on how to approach a student Everyday many employees of organizations use their critical thinking skills in countless decisions, critical thinking skills are not the only skills used by employees, but they are the most important. As an employee I use my critical thinking skills when applying to the policies and procedures of my organization, making determinations, making predictions and problem solving more so on–the spot decision making, and Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 7. Racism And Critical Thinking Essay Racism cannot be rationally justified. Firstly, the pseudoscience facts about racial differentiation by scientists have no scientific basis behind the ideology of racism. Secondly, racism harms the physical and emotional well being of individuals, leading to the violation of their human rights, preserving inequality. Lastly, the ideology ofracism demonstrates a poor evaluation of an individual, ergo it proves a lack of critical thinking. The violent ideology known as racism is defined by many as "the result of perceiving one group as superior over another" (Quoted in Keister and Darby, 284). This is when a dominant power in a society oppresses the minority power by prejudging the minorities attributes, commonly their race. When defining...show more content... Critical thinking is based on how you evaluate a certain situation. To be a critical thinker, you would have to apply no bias to a situation and evaluate the motives of a person or group. Critical thinking is important because it helps question and evaluate arguments in order to properly justify a position (Vaughn and MacDonald, 20). A critical thinker looks for all evidence, which is a prime example in justifying how those who believed in scientific racism lacked in critical thinking. The scientists created a bias towards the different skulls based on which race the skull came from. This was then carried on in slavery as the whites dehumanize the other races, creating inequality based on a lack of critical thinking. This character defect among "the invisibility of most mechanisms to reproduce racial inequality" (Bonilla–Silva, 26) throughout history was unjustified as they did not comprehend the explanation of the Human Genome Project, continuing the unequal racial hierarchy. In today's time, critical thinkers have viewed this violent ideology and have tried to educated those in society. Yet, there are still groups like the "KKK" that have not looked past the pseudoscience, and have not grasped the understanding of racisms violation of human Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Critical Thinking Example Essay Critical thinking begins at the earliest stages of life. As you mature the process becomes more involved and by studying and practicing critical thinking methods you can improve and become more efficient in the process. You eventually learn to apply past experience, emotions and concepts that you have learned. Although there many critical thinking examples in personal lives such as decisions on health, money and family, for this paper we will discuss a critical decision process at work which resulted in a significant cost savings for a customer. At work we use a variety of methods to solve problems and which almost always also results in some sort of cost savings. We have access to twenty three decision making tools that can be...show more content... Many problems were quickly identified such as, there were many points where personnel had to lift product from floor level to a delivery wagon, product rotation in regard to expiration date, identification labels, access to materials/products, customer ordering times and customer ordering quantities. The team brainstormed ideas for each of the problems, evaluated which ideas were suited best for each problem and then physically began to implement the ideas. The first problem dealing with personnel lifting too many products from floor level was solved by replacing the wagons with delivery carts with no side rails and placing the products on stands that kept the products close to waist level. This way the product was loaded on to the cart there was very little lifting, mainly just sliding the product onto the cart which was purchased to coincide with the storage level of the product. Product rotation where you want to give the customer the oldest product to keep product from expiring was the cause of a lot of double movement when bringing in new products. This was solved by storing all the products in the middle of the storage rooms instead of up against a wall, this way personnel could walk completely around the product not having to rotate older material to the front each time new material arrived. Labels came next and instead of small identification labels on the wall about Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Examples Of Critical Thinking Based on Michael Scriven & Richard Paul (2003), critical thinking is the active intellectually disciplined process through skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, assessing resources generated by observation, experience, reflecting or reasoning, as a conduct to the belief. Undeniable, critical thinking helps us attain knowledge, enhance theories and strengthen arguments, thus it will indirectly improve our work processes and social establishment. In my opinion, critical thinking is to think clear and rationally, question, analyze and evaluate it, hence to make a reasoning judgment. It is an active process where engages reflective and independent thinking. John Dewey (1909) mentioned that critical thinking is reflective thought to suspend judgment, persist in a healthy skepticism and employ an open mind. According to Dewey (1909), critical thinking is active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief in light of the ground that supports it and tends to the further conclusions. Active process is referred to raise question, seek for information, think things through, find relevant information and...show more content... Richard Paul (1993) focused critical thinking in that mode of thinking where the thinkers enhance the quality of their thinking by skillfully taking charge in thinking and imposing intellectual standards. Based on Richard Paul, the sole method to develop critical thinking ability is through thinking about one's thinking. Critical thinking is definitely different from just thinking. It is metacognitive, thinking about your thinking, during the process of thinking, it will improve your thinking. Critical thinking starts once the reflection on his thinking, for example, students evaluate each of their work, ideas or writing by thinking through a second time, they self–checking on these questions like "am I being clear, is this precise, does my answer accurate and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Essay on Critical Thinking The concepts of critical thinking and creative thinking are both gaining increasing importance in the world today. Critical thinking allows people to understand difficult concepts in a manner that is clearer and more defined. They can more readily understand those concepts if they employ critical thinking. In all portions of everyday life, a person is expected to make independent judgments. Those judgments are based on experience and knowledge. Without the ability to think critically, every situation that a person comes across would have to be considered in isolation from all other situations. When a person encounters a problem that is a new one, he or she may be able to use critical thinking to solve those problems. One...show more content... Critical thinking also helps in decision–making. Both problem solving and decision–making abilities are vital to a prosperous business. Persons who are critical thinkers can make a difference in the companies in which they are employed. Today?s corporations must first recognize that there is a real need for critical thinkers. It is important for both the top management down the line. Critical thinking must be taught and built in to the way the company or organization performs its business. In fact, companies and organizations must embrace the concept of critical thinking. Critical thinking can lead to success story after success story. This type of impact gives any company or organization credibility. According to Supon, one of the fundamental purposes of teaching critical thinking is to enhance the abilities of students to become critical thinkers. Corporate leaders, educational researchers, employers, and parents have continually pushed teachers to assist their students in the development of critical thinking ability. Critical thinking is a skill that ?involved not only knowledge of content by also concept formation and analysis, reasoning and drawing conclusions, recognizing and avoiding contradiction, and other essential cognitive activities? (Supon, 1998). There are proposed reasons for the emphasis that is currently on critical thinking. Many factors can be related to this emphasis.

The study was completed over the duration of a week by nine classes, each with approximately 30 students and was conducted online. Firstly, the participants read an information sheet which briefly highlighted the study and its procedure. Following this, the participants completed a Creative Experiences Questionnaire (CEQ), designed by Merckelbach, Horselenberg, & Muris (2001). This questionnaire aimed to measure the fantasy proneness of the individual and involved choosing either 'yes' or 'no' to the given 25 questions. Then, the participants completed the Self–Talk Scale developed by Brinthaupt, Hein, & Kramer (2009). This involved 16 questions with the selection of answers 1 (never) to 5 (very often), and was used to assess the frequency of self–talk.

  • 13. Reflective Essay On Critical Thinking Questioning and challenging my assumptions and attitudes about critical thinking is a new process for me, but I do appreciate that to develop and enhance my assumptions and other mindsets it is an important undertaking. Looking at what we hold to be true is an endeavor well trenched into us as we evolved. "The real value of critical thinking is that it's been at the root of all human progress" (Rabinowitz, 2015). Being challenged on my thinking is difficult, but once I got through the difficulty I realized it was for my betterment as a student and as a teacher. My prior experience as an undergraduate in early childhood education with Bloom's focused mainly on the cognitive domain and thus I cannot recall the affective or psychomotor domains being addressed. However, as I began to understand that "the committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning" (Bloom, 1956 as cited by Clark, 2015), I realized that I did have assumptions and that they were being challenged. First of all, I did assume that Bloom's focus on cognitive development devalues the importance of other domains and secondly that Bloom's Taxonomy is only used by educators in K–12 and college. Interestingly, both have since been challenged and changed through my readings as "it is important to note that the most common usage of Bloom's Taxonomy focuses on cognitive learning skills rather than psychomotor or affective skills, two domains that are crucial to the success of health Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Effective Communication: ability to listen, speak, and write effectively. Research Skills: ability to gather, evaluate, and create supporting evidence.

People create barriers that stop the gathering of information and analyzing that are key to being a critical thinker. A few of the resistances that foster narrow–mindedness are denial, the refusal to believe something despite overwhelming evidence, avoidance, not seeking out opposing views but staying with only those that agree with your position on an issue, and ignorance, not seeking out information that is available(Boss, 2010). The two resistances that I have used are avoidance and conformity. These two go hand in hand with me that I will often seek out those that agree with my thoughts and avoid those that do not see things the way I do. At times, I will be with those that I do not agree with and those times instead of having a conversation, I will go with conformity to fit in at those times. Adjusting my thinking to overcome these will first require me to seek out and listen to both sides of the issues. Having the knowledge that is not based on biased opinions will help make a foundation that will increase my confidence in what I think and allow me to speak intelligently on the issue. The concept of a person that can understand and control their emotions is said to be emotional intelligent.

  • 18. Critical Thinking Examples From our modest beginnings using crude tools as cave dwellers to our most sophisticated technological advances of the 21st century, we continually show our ability to think critically. Critical thinking is a skill that must be nurtured and honed; it is easy to skip steps in the process thereby leading to inefficiencies in design or product. In this discussion, I will focus on two examples, one that shows a quality example of critical thought, and another that shows a failure in critical thinking.

The tower, with its 211 columns and arches, and circular design like many of the grand towers and buildings constructed during its time, are a testament to the beauty and ingenuity of architects of the time. They built monumental structures with intricate detail and masterful columns with limited means to construct compared to the standards of today. That being said, the Leaning Tower Pisa is clearly an engineering failure. According to Wikispaces (2014), construction of the tower began in 1172 and took nearly 200 years to complete due to halts in construction. Those halts are said to be caused by a lack of money, war, and most importantly the lean that was noticeable by the time three stories were completed in 1178 (Wikispaces, 2014). While it is unknown who the actual architect was, it is thought they were unaware of the soft clay they were building upon. Numerous sources report that the lean is due not only to the soft ground the building lies on but also the design of the tower itself. Its tall, slender design caused the ground to sustain increased pressure over a smaller area than many regular buildings like the cathedral which stands next to the tower. Madrid Engineering Group (2011) reported that this pressure, coupled with the fact that the three meter foundation was inadequate, caused the soft silt /clay ground to settle at an alarming rate Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Longstreet agreed but also brought notice to Lee about the Union cavalry was already in Gettysburg. Lee was caught by surprise; being told earlier that only militia was seen there. Lee reported that it was John Buford, and that infantry was soon to come if the cavalry was already there. Longstreet thought of taking the defensive end and waiting for Buford to attack. Lee on the other hand disagreed with the defensive tactic and wanted to attack Buford. Of course Lee was above Longstreet and would get his way. Buford woke in the morning only to smile and smirk as he heard General Heth's men trying to put up a fight and take his hill. He was not worried of Heth, but worried of what was to arrive behind Heth. Buford knew that if Lee were to arrive and attack, then he would lose the battle and also the hill on which he stood. Major General Reynolds arrived shortly after the battles that were going on that morning. Buford was very glad to see him and his infantry.

A fallacy that falls under the irrelevant premises is appeal to the person. Appeal to the person is rejecting the claim not because of the claim itself, but because of the person who makes the claim. In the workplace, someone could suggest a pleasing idea, but because of the individual it came from, an idea that could have been exertive is now useless. Another fallacy is appeal to popularity, arguing that a claim must be true solely because a significant number of people believe it. Because the majority says something, does not mean that it is always right. What an individual believe is extraneous. Something could happen at work where there is a counterfactual mistake, but because merely everyone believes it, it can produce many mistakes. Appeal to tradition is another fallacy that an individual can examine while in a work setting. Many people believe only what is connected to their traditions and beliefs. This is fallacious because everyone has a different belief and while in a work setting, you are going to work with people who have very different belief systems. While applying a person's guilt, anger, resentment, pity, etc. to get what you want, you are appealing to emotion. A person is persuading someone by provoking his or her feelings rather than giving reason.
