Critical thinking involves thinking creatively and innovatively by considering perspectives outside established ways of thinking. It also requires effective communication, understanding different positions on valid claims rather than absolute truths, and using evidence to assess the validity and certainty of arguments along a continuum rather than believing only one fixed truth. Critical thinkers stay focused, informed, precise, and open to other positions.

Opening Plenary : Building Trust and Civility Starts From Within
As organizations become more global in scope and more complex in nature, establishing a culture of trust and high workplace civility are becoming more important. As leaders and managers in organizations it is important that we embody, build on and emulate competencies and characteristics necessary for fostering a work environment of high trust and civility.
This opening plenary session will focus on emerging leadership trends, competencies and the factors that strengthen trust at organizational level. Leadership trends will be taken from a pilot project conducted in 2018 inviting leaders and managers from different African countries to share their leadership challenges, trends and tips.
Good decisions pp
Good information means drawing from multiple sources and ensuring data is valid and pertinent. Good advice from a qualified and trusted source can ease your path towards objectives. Make sure decisions are based on good information and advice from sources like Thomas at www.LawrenceRealEstateInfo.com who can help with real estate questions.
Critical thinking
The document discusses critical thinking and what it means to be a critical thinker. Key points are that critical thinkers are willing to challenge their deepest beliefs, can be wrong or change their minds, and are always growing and learning. A critical thinker is never 100% sure of anything. The document also distinguishes between truth and validity, noting that critical thinkers value validity over truth as validity refers to the internal consistency of an argument and allows for open-mindedness and many valid positions, unlike truth.
Summary seminar thinking
The document discusses different types of thinking: critical thinking, creative thinking, innovative thinking, and reflective thinking. It provides definitions and characteristics of each type. For critical thinking, it discusses the 4 components of being active, persistent, careful consideration, and supporting conclusions. For creative thinking, it discusses creativity, the creative thinking process, and how to develop and overcome obstacles to creative thinking. For innovative thinking, it focuses on imagination and invention. And for reflective thinking, it defines it as a response to experiences and discusses how to develop reflective thinking through drawing, writing, talking and using a portfolio for reflection.
Critical and Creative Thinking for Improving Enterprise Productivity
Cases are presented in which students design and implement creativity activities with workers from companies for helping them become more sensitive to problems and opportunities, as well as for generating feasible options for solving them and increasing productivity.
Critical thinking analysis, issues & contentions
The document discusses key concepts related to critical thinking including what critical thinking is, how to develop critical thinking skills, and how to analyze issues and arguments. Specifically, it defines critical thinking as clear, logical thinking that allows one to analyze issues and consider multiple viewpoints. It also discusses how to identify claims, issues, and contentions and the different types of questions, analyses, and arguments that comprise strong critical thinking.

Our ability to learn new ways to think is the power of human potential. We have to make choices about the types of thinking that we apply to a
variety of different challenges.
Critical Thinking is the act of examining a set of facts and analyzing and evaluating relevant information. We live in a knowledge based society, and
the more critically you think the better your knowledge will be. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information so
that you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes
damages if a mistake does occur. Critical Thinking will lead to being a more rational and disciplined thinker. It will reduce your prejudice and bias,
which will provide you a better understanding of your environment.
This workshop will provide you the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. It will lead you to be more
productive in your career, and provide a great skill in your everyday life.
Lastly, critical thinking skills will support your capacity to be innovative. Once you fully understand what it is, you can begin exploring what could be.

The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats method for structured thinking and debate preparation. The method involves thinking about an issue from six perspectives represented by colored hats: red for feelings, white for facts, black for cautions, yellow for benefits, green for creative solutions, and blue for process. When preparing for a debate, the suggested sequence is to start with the red hat to identify one's emotional response, then the white hat to research needed facts, followed by the yellow, black, and green hats to generate arguments for and against the issue before countering objections. The Six Thinking Hats provides a framework to direct thinking attention systematically to different aspects of critical thinking.

Critical and creative_thinking[1]
This document discusses and compares critical thinking and creative thinking. Critical thinking is defined as the process of reflecting on ideas and judging underlying assumptions, while creative thinking is developing unique ideas. Both involve combining, changing, or applying existing information. Characteristics of critical thinkers include recognizing assumptions, scrutinizing arguments, and judging ideas rationally from multiple perspectives. Creative thinkers make unusual connections, take risks, and challenge conventions to generate novel solutions. The document lists traits associated with each type of thinking.
Creative and critical thinking
The document discusses strategies for developing critical and creative thinking in students. It recommends allowing student choice, creating an accepting environment, making interdisciplinary connections, allocating time for creativity, and encouraging collaboration to promote creative thinking.

Six thinking hats
The Six Thinking Hats technique developed by Edward de Bono helps individuals and groups think more clearly and creatively. It identifies six distinct thinking modes represented by colored hats - white (facts), red (feelings), black (caution), yellow (optimism), green (creativity), and blue (process control). By deliberately switching between different hat colors, groups can take a parallel thinking approach to explore issues from multiple perspectives rather than an adversarial approach. This encourages full-spectrum thinking and separates ego from performance for more effective problem solving.

Questioning for critical and creative thinking
The document discusses strategies for using questioning to promote critical and creative thinking in teaching. It outlines the importance of questioning, principles for preparing and using different types of questions, and techniques for teacher questioning. Questions can be used to actively engage students, provide feedback, and expand their critical and creative skills. Teachers should consider students' backgrounds and abilities when forming questions at various cognitive levels.
Critical thinking vs. creative thinking
Thinking is a voluntary cognitive process that we use to make sense of the world. There are different types of thinking, including critical thinking and creative thinking.
Critical thinking involves carefully analyzing and evaluating ideas, and using logic and evidence to form judgments. Creative thinking focuses on generating novel and unique ideas by making connections in an open and playful way.
Edward de Bono developed the "Six Thinking Hats" method to separate thinking into six colors or modes, including white for information, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for optimism, green for creativity, and blue for organization and control.
Critical Thinking
The document discusses the importance of teaching critical thinking skills to students. It provides examples of famous people like Einstein, Beethoven, and Edison who struggled in traditional education but excelled in creative and critical thinking. The document defines critical thinking as processing information to solve problems, make decisions, and anticipate the future. It recommends teaching critical thinking by asking open-ended questions, connecting lessons to student experience, and encouraging group work and problem solving.

Creative and Critical Thinking
Critical, creative thinking involves the imaginative, unrestricted, rigorous examination of concepts. It is important to develop in students because creativity is the most crucial factor for future success, according to an IBM study. While it can be challenging to teach critical, creative thinking in classrooms, there are strategies that can help make it more motivational and experimental for students, such as questioning techniques, thinking keys, voluntary participation, and focusing on curiosity and connections over compliance and right answers.
Communicating with others
This document discusses key aspects of critical thinking. It notes that a critical thinker is willing to challenge deep beliefs and change their mind given new evidence rather than claim to know the absolute truth. Validity, not truth, is emphasized - the validity of a claim depends on the available evidence and can change. There is a continuum of certainty where arguments move from no validity to completely valid, and critical thinkers determine a threshold of reasonable validity to accept a claim rather than insist on absolute truth. The goal is to thoughtfully evaluate arguments based on evidence, not cling to preconceived truths without question.

Critical thinking involves using logic and reasoning to analyze arguments and make well-informed judgments. It requires clarity, accuracy, precision, depth, and fairness. Some key aspects of critical thinking are evaluating claims based on evidence rather than beliefs; considering multiple perspectives on issues; and applying reasoning to solve problems in a creative, flexible way. The goal is to think outside one's comfort zone and analyze issues at a deeper level.

Fx april2021 what_isfaith
An exploration of faith, belief and the methods we use as humans to deal with the ineffable and incomprehensible.
Truth Vs. Validity
Truth refers to absolute certainty or factuality, while validity refers to the quality of evidence and reasoning used to support an argument. It is better to argue over the validity of opposing viewpoints rather than truth, as there can be multiple valid positions but only one truth. Validity promotes open-minded critical thinking by considering degrees of certainty based on available evidence, while arguments over truth can promote dogmatism.
What Makes our Beliefs
This document discusses the nature and formation of beliefs. It defines belief as an assumed truth that people hold mentally and accept as real. Beliefs can form from one's own experiences and reflections or by accepting what others say. Self-generated beliefs come from experiences, experiments, and reflections, while externally-generated beliefs involve trusting experts or generalizing from limited experiences. The document also notes that belief involves both logical thoughts and emotional feelings of truth, and explores how beliefs shape human interactions and the acceptance of ideas.
An Essay On Knowledge And Belief
1. The document discusses different types and levels of knowledge and belief regarding propositions. It defines knowledge in the strict sense as requiring understanding, sufficient personal experience gathering evidence, and bringing evidence to bear on determining the truth of a proposition.
2. It describes a spectrum of belief from certain knowledge based on strict evidence-based reasoning to mere credence without evidence-based reasoning. Between these extremes lies probable knowledge, including moral certainty and scientific certainty.
3. An example is given of a mathematician's proposition that the author believes is true based on expert testimony, but does not qualify as the author's own knowledge since they did not personally verify the proof. The author's belief here represents probable knowledge rather than certain knowledge
Critical thinking
Critical thinking is the identification and evaluation of evidence to guide decision making through broad analysis. It requires open-minded, well-informed, and rational consideration of problems using logical reasoning and judgment. A critical thinker examines beliefs and knowledge through reflection using criteria such as alternatives, credibility, quality, and definitions.
Building Blocks to Thought Leadership
This document discusses the importance of thought leadership and how to build trust, credibility, and respect (TCR) to become an effective thought leader. It defines trust as dependability and consistency, and outlines ways to create trust through defining, nurturing, and creating "moments of truth." Credibility refers to perceptions of competence, character, and dynamism. It discusses initial, derived, and terminal credibility and how to build credibility through competence, caring, and character. The document also explains how credibility, trust, and respect interact in the "TCR equation" and the importance of message delivery through visual, verbal, and vocal channels in building TCR.
Building Blocks to Thought Leadership
To become a thought leader, we need to understand the route to persuasion. This presentation discusses the route to persuasion.
Topic 1
The document defines critical thinking as using cognitive skills and intellectual dispositions to analyze and evaluate arguments, identify biases, form reasonable conclusions, and make intelligent decisions. The goals of critical thinking are to teach students how to reason well and succeed in life by using facts intelligently. Some standards of critical thinking discussed are clarity, precision, accuracy, relevance, consistency, logical correctness, and completeness. The document also discusses benefits of critical thinking in education, careers, and everyday life, as well as common barriers like egocentrism, sociocentrism, assumptions, stereotypes, and wishful thinking.
Moral philosophy
Moral philosophy discusses arguments for and against the existence of objective moral truth. Arguments for moral realism and cognitivism include that our experience of morality suggests there are moral truths we can make mistakes about, and that moral demands are independent of what we think. Arguments against non-cognitivism include that there must be objective moral truths in order for moral progress and knowledge to be possible. Moral values may also be seen as transcendent and existing outside of space and time, knowable through rational intuition similar to mathematical truths.
Logic guide 2
Second Discussion Guide for the course Introduction to Logic, which I teach at an international business school. All contents were quoted directly from Critical Thinking by Moore and Parker
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.

This document discusses critical thinking, including definitions, principles, characteristics, barriers, and comparisons between critical and uncritical thinkers. It defines critical thinking as clear, logical thinking that uses evidence and reason to form justified judgments. It outlines principles of good arguments and critical thinking, such as requiring structurally sound arguments with relevant, acceptable premises. Characteristics of critical thinkers are said to include intellectual honesty, open-mindedness, and basing judgments on evidence rather than biases. Barriers to critical thinking discussed include egocentrism, sociocentrism, and wishful thinking. Critical thinkers are contrasted with uncritical thinkers who ignore limitations, make unsupported claims, and resist changing beliefs.

This document discusses various methods of determining truth and distinguishing it from opinion. It outlines Rene Descartes' view of systematic doubt to determine truth. Some bases for determining truth include using one's senses, relying on facts, getting consensus, proving through actions, and subjecting claims to tests. Philosophy can help filter information by applying doubt, facts, actions, and tests. The document also defines facts and opinions, with facts being verifiable and opinions based on emotions. It notes several philosophical methods like the Socratic method, dialectic method, scientific method, and historical method.

Change in BehaviorBehaviors come in a wide range of forms, so finding one you think people should start, increase, or decrease shouldn’t be difficult at all.For example, speeches encouraging audiences to vote for a candidate, sign a petition opposing a tuition increase, or drink tap water instead of bottled water are all behavior-oriented persuasive speeches.
