Lfs 109 chapter 1 winter
The document discusses critical thinking and different approaches to processing information. It describes the "sponge approach" which focuses on absorbing as much information as possible without evaluation. In contrast, the "panning for gold" approach requires asking questions, reflection, and active evaluation of information to uncover the best conclusions. Strong-sense critical thinking aims to strengthen initial beliefs through evaluation rather than forcing changes. Critical thinking skills improve writing, speaking, and understanding different perspectives. The document encourages considering barriers to critical thinking and exploring the concept of "group think".
Introduction to the course
This document provides an introduction to an ENG 109 Critical Reading and Thinking course taught by Dr. Michelle Kassorla. It includes biographical information about the professor, such as her religious background and hobbies. The document outlines expectations for the course, which are to question beliefs, eliminate habits that hinder critical thinking, improve the ability to influence others, separate opinions from facts, and get to the heart of issues. Students are instructed to review the syllabus and are given expectations to think before responding, challenge ideas not people, participate actively, submit their best work, and come to class prepared.
Lfs 109 chapter 4 (3)
This document discusses reasons and identifying reasons when evaluating opinions and arguments. It defines reasons as the rationale or justifications used to support a conclusion. Identifying an author's reasons is important for a fair evaluation of their opinion. Focusing on reasons requires remaining open to opposing views and examining one's own opinions. When analyzing an argument, one should determine the intent, quality of evidence, and relationship between the conclusion and reasons provided. Various types of evidence like facts, statistics, and expert testimony can be used as reasons. Weak reasons undermine the overall reasoning.
Lfs 109 how good is the evidence chapter 9 (1)
The document discusses evaluating the strength of evidence used to support factual claims. It emphasizes that factual claims require evidence to be considered dependable. When assessing evidence, readers should consider the quality, quantity, and consistency of the evidence. Common knowledge claims and conclusions well-supported by research require less scrutiny than opinions or disputed claims with little supporting evidence. Readers are advised to critically examine sources of evidence and ask how reliable they are before accepting factual claims as true.

This document discusses mental habits that can act as obstacles to critical thinking. It identifies several common mental habits, such as overreliance on personal experiences, confirmation bias in information seeking, use of stereotypes, hasty generalizations from limited examples, availability heuristic, and wishful thinking. It also discusses familiar obstacles like groupthink, unwillingness to listen to others, and use of logical fallacies. Overcoming these obstacles requires awareness of them and a commitment to using critical thinking skills in all aspects of life.

Non fiction
Gladwell argues in chapter one of Outliers that success is the result of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities rather than just talent or hard work. Specifically, he claims that the most successful people benefit from factors like their birthdates, cultural legacies, and timing that allow them to accumulate experience and be in the right place at the right time. Gladwell uses examples of hockey players born early in the year having initial success and being channeled into elite leagues to illustrate how small influences can have large impacts over time. This matters because it challenges common assumptions that success is purely a result of individual merit and refines our understanding of why some achieve more than others.

It provides tips for how to agree, disagree, listen, differ, and respond in discussions. These include seeking agreement, disagreeing politely based on facts, paying attention to understand others, exploring reasons for differences respectfully, and extending or modifying ideas through joint exploration rather than arguments.
Argumentative
This document provides guidance on how to effectively argue a point in response to another person's opinion. It recommends focusing the argument by using sound reasons, supporting evidence, statistics, facts, and expert quotes. The argument should be organized with an introduction stating the other person's opinion and your intention to disagree, followed by multiple arguments and a final thought. Each argument should present a clear point supported by logical reasoning and evidence. The conclusion should firmly restate your viewpoint without introducing new ideas.
Chapter4
This document discusses reasons for believing or doubting claims and the reliability of different sources of information. It notes that claims should be doubted if they conflict with other accepted claims or background information. Personal experience may not be reliable due to factors like impairment, expectation, and innumeracy. Expert opinions are only credible sources if the experts agree and are speaking to their area of expertise. News reports should be evaluated critically by considering biases and checking alternate sources. Advertising claims often use persuasive but misleading tactics and should generally be viewed skeptically.
1.1
This document provides an introduction to critical thinking and the rhetorical situation. It defines critical thinking as carefully analyzing information by questioning your own attitudes, assumptions, and evidence. The first step in critical thinking is investigation, which benefits from using heuristics to structure analysis. Heuristics examine topics like definition, comparison, relationship, and testimony. Rhetoric is then defined as the practical application of critical thinking through persuasive language. The rhetorical situation considers how the writer, purpose, audience, genre, and stance all influence a message.
Self Development
Self-development requires self-awareness, which can be improved through activities like analyzing strengths and weaknesses using a SWOT analysis, spending more time in self-reflection, getting feedback from others, and using tools like the Johari Window model to increase self-knowledge in both open and hidden areas. Developing self-awareness leads to greater self-acceptance and the ability to change habits by using reminders, routines, and rewards.

Writers may state opinions without evidence, so readers should evaluate if facts are objective, relevant, complete and truly back the stated opinion. When opinions differ, the reader should determine whose evidence is more reliable and fully supports their position. Readers must consider their own opinions on the topic and writing when deciding whether to accept the opinion in the text.

To have a beautiful mind, one must know how to agree, disagree, differ and be interesting according to key principles. These include being willing to see other perspectives, exploring ideas rather than battling egos, and using questions, stories and humor to engage others. It is also important to listen actively, consider alternatives, and understand how values, emotions and opinions are shaped by experience. Interruptions should be avoided unless necessary to clarify or challenge flawed logic. Maintaining a constructive attitude and knowing when and how to start and steer discussions are also part of developing a beautiful mind.

How (Un)Ethical Are You
Most of us believe that we are ethical and unbiased. We believe that we:
Make good decisions
Are objective, and
Reach fair and rational conclusions
Research shows that in reality most fall short of our inflated self-perception, where we
have the illusion of objectivity
These unconscious or implicit biases can be contrary to our consciously held, explicit beliefs
As leaders we need to let go of the notion that our conscious attitudes always represent what we think
The prevalence of these biases suggests that the most well being person unwittingly allows conscious thoughts and feeling to influence our objective decisions
This article explores four related sources of unintentional unethical decision-making:
Implicit forms of prejudice
Bias that favours one’s own group
A tendency to over-claim credit
Conflict of interest
1. Implicit Prejudice: Bias that emerges from unconscious beliefs
Research shows that people judge according:
to unconscious stereotypes
attitudes, or implicit prejudice
We learn to associate things that commonly go together and expect them to inevitably co-exist
Example:
Thunder and rain, grey hair and old age. We automatically make such associations to help us organize our thoughts. We grow to trust these stereo-types, however, they are binding and typically not accurate
Because implicit prejudice come from the ordinary and unconscious tendency to make associations, it is distinct from conscious forms of prejudice
This explains why people who are free of conscious prejudice still demonstrate biases
Example:
People who had strong implicit biases were less likely to select women for positions who exhibited “masculine” personalities qualities, such as ambition or independence
The biased perception was that these women possessed less social skills than men.
2. In-Group Favouritism: Bias the Favours Your Group
Have you ever helped someone get a position by asking a favour. Few people set out to exclude anyone through such acts of kindness
In-group favouritism amounts to giving extra credit to someone within your group
Yet while discriminating against those who are not part of the group is considered unethical, helping people seemingly close to us is often viewed favourably
Research shows that where people are equally qualified and similar in all respects, the person who is considered “part of the group” will unconsciously be seen to be more qualified
There is no hatred or hostility….this behaviour is the root of discriminatory favouritism
An example of this is where minorities, who are sometimes more qualified, are unconsciously discriminated against
3. Overclaiming Credit: Bias that Favours You
People generally hold positive views about themselves
Studies show that the majority of people consider themselves above average. The more we think of our own contributions, the less fairly we judge others
Research also shows that the more people think o ...

Decisions in Communication
This document discusses various factors that influence decision making, including involuntary decision making, authority figures, peers, groupthink, and interpersonal needs. It also discusses critical thinking strategies like defining problems, analyzing assumptions, considering multiple interpretations, and tolerating uncertainty. The key takeaways are that decision making is influenced by habits, others' opinions, and emotional needs, and critical thinking examines decisions carefully by considering various perspectives and evidence.
Relator Relator describes your attitude toward your relation.docx
Relator
Relator describes your attitude toward your relationships. In simple terms, the Relator theme pulls you toward people you already know. You do not necessarily shy away from meeting new people—in fact, you may have other themes that cause you to enjoy the thrill of turning strangers into friends—but you do derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around your close friends. You are comfortable with intimacy. Once the initial connection has been made, you deliberately encourage a deepening of the relationship. You want to understand their feelings, their goals, their fears, and their dreams; and you want them to understand yours. You know that this kind of closeness implies a certain amount of risk—you might be taken advantage of—but you are willing to accept that risk. For you a relationship has value only if it is genuine. And the only way to know that is to entrust yourself to the other person. The more you share with each other, the more you risk together. The more you risk together, the more each of you proves your caring is genuine. These are your steps toward real friendship, and you take them willingly.
Individualization
Your Individualization theme leads you to be intrigued by the unique qualities of each person. You are impatient with generalizations or “types” because you don’t want to obscure what is special and distinct about each person. Instead, you focus on the differences between individuals. You instinctively observe each person’s style, each person’s motivation, how each thinks, and how each builds relationships. You hear the one-of-a-kind stories in each person’s life. This theme explains why you pick your friends just the right birthday gift, why you know that one person prefers praise in public and another detests it, and why you tailor your teaching style to accommodate one person’s need to be shown and another’s desire to “figure it out as I go.” Because you are such a keen observer of other people’s strengths, you can draw out the best in each person. This Individualization theme also helps you build productive teams. While some search around for the perfect team “structure” or “process,” you know instinctively that the secret to great teams is casting by individual strengths so that everyone can do a lot of what they do well.
Deliberative
You are careful. You are vigilant. You are a private person. You know that the world is an unpredictable place. Everything may seem in order, but beneath the surface you sense the many risks. Rather than denying these risks, you draw each one out into the open. Then each risk can be identified, assessed, and ultimately reduced. Thus, you are a fairly serious person who approaches life with a certain reserve. For example, you like to plan ahead so as to anticipate what might go wrong. You select your friends cautiously and keep your own counsel when the conversation turns to personal matters. You are careful not to give too much praise and recognition, l ...
Decisions in Communication
Critical thinking involves carefully examining all available information when making decisions rather than relying on heuristics or biases. We are influenced by credible sources, authority figures, peers, and groupthink. As critical thinkers, we need to consider multiple interpretations, assumptions, and uncertainties rather than oversimplifying issues. Effective decision making requires focusing on both outcomes and ethical processes.
speech 104 - extra credit powerpoint assignment
There are two types of decision making: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary decisions involve cognitive thinking about alternatives and consequences, while involuntary decisions are automatic responses without conscious thought. When making voluntary decisions, people consider situation factors, goals, people involved, and outcomes. However, voluntary decisions can be influenced by credible sources, authority figures, peers, and interpersonal needs like affection, inclusion, and control. There are also four decision making styles - Bull, Eagle, Bloodhound, and Bee - and four work styles - Driver, Expressive, Amiable, and Analytical - that impact how people make decisions.

ENG 109 Chapter 9 How Good is the Evidence part 2[1].pdf
The document discusses different types of evidence and issues with each:
1. Eyewitness testimony is unreliable due to problems with perception and memory. Witnesses to the DC sniper shootings provided inconsistent descriptions.
2. Research studies can provide dependable evidence if conducted scientifically but results often contradict and are influenced by researcher bias. It is important to evaluate the quality of research sources and potential reasons for distortion.
3. Analogies as evidence require carefully checking the number and relevance of similarities between what is being compared. Extrapolating conclusions requires establishing strong, diverse similarities between the analogy and what it represents.
LFS 109 How Good is the Evidence Chapter 9 (1).pdf
The document discusses evaluating the strength of evidence used to support factual claims. It emphasizes that mere assertions without evidence should not be accepted as facts. When assessing evidence, key questions to ask include what the proof is, where the evidence is located, and how dependable the evidence is.

Determining what counts as good evidence involves carefully examining the type, quality, and sources of information provided.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
