The document lists potential topics for critical thinking, including whether students should shadow a potential major before declaring it, if working students perform better than full-time students, and if social media helps or hinders success. Additional topics concern accountability for child abuse, forcing the homeless into housing, and requiring drug testing for welfare recipients.
