Six Thinking Hats is a self-help book which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats. "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
Coloured hats are used as metaphors for each direction. Switching to a direction is symbolized by the act of putting on a coloured hat, either literally or metaphorically. These metaphors allow for a more complete and elaborate segregation of the thinking directions. The six thinking hats indicate problems and solutions about an idea the thinker may come up with.

THINKING ABOUT THINKING
How can we know what to believe when the facts are confusing and experts disagree? As you learn about environmental science-in this book and elsewhere-you will find many issues about which the data are indecisive, leading reasonable people to disagree on how they should be interpreted. How can we choose between competing claims? Is it simply a matter of what feels good at any particular moment, or are there objective ways to evaluate arguments? Critical thinking skills can help us form a rational basis for deciding what to believe and do. These skills foster reflective and systematic analysis to help us bring order out of chaos, discover hidden ideas and meanings, develop strategies for evaluating reasons and conclusions in arguments, and avoid jumping to conclusions. Developing rational analytic skills is an important part of your education and will give you useful tools for life.
Certain attitudes, tendencies and dispositions are essential for critical or reflective thinking. Among these are;
· Skepticism and independence. Question authority. Don't believe everything you hear or read, including this book. Even the experts can be wrong.
· Open-mindedness and flexibility. Be willing to consider differing points of view and entertain alternative explanations.
· Accuracy and orderliness. Strive for as much precision as the subject permits or warrants. Deal systematically with parts of a complex whole.
· Persistence and relevance. Stick to the main point and avoid allowing diversions or personal biases to lead you astray.
· Contextual sensitivity and empathy. Consider the total situation, feelings, level of knowledge, and sophistication of others as you study situations. Try and put yourself in another person's place to understand his or her position.
· Decisiveness and courage. Draw conclusions and take a stand when the evidence warrants doing so.
· Humility. Realize that you may be wrong and that you may have to reconsider in the future.
Critical thinking is sometimes called metacognition or "thinking about thinking." It is not critical in the sense of finding fault but rather is an attempt to rationally plan how to think about a problem. It requires a self-conscious monitoring of the process while you are doing it and an evaluation of how your strategy worked and what you learned when you have finished. Assembling, understanding, and evaluat ...

1000 - 1500 word argumentative essay
PROMPT: Is putting yourself first a good approach to life?
FAQ
· How should I get started?
· Have the Personal Responsibility and Critical Thinking Rubrics open in front of you. Your grade will be assessed according to these two rubrics. Scroll down for these rubrics.
· Some questions to ask yourself as you are brainstorming: What does "putting yourself first" mean as you see it? What are the consequences of living this way? How would you describe the opposite of "putting yourself first"? If you had to choose between them, which way of life is better? Do you have to choose between them? If you disagree with your friend who thinks life is about putting oneself first as much as possible whenever possible, how would you persuade your friend that life is not a selfish or self-indulgent pursuit? How do you justify that your own actions are altruistic, and to what end do you pursue acts in the interest of others? Do you do so with the same passion as you do endeavors that fulfill a want or a need in your own life? Once you have entertained the above questions, carve out a thesis statement that states clearly whether or not "put yourself first" is a good approach to life and why.
· Early in your essay, describe how you understand "putting yourself first". It's important to define how you view this way of life before either advocating for it or rejecting it.
· Look up any information that you may need to check your biases. Suppose you intend to argue that rich people get ahead because they do not donate to charity. You might first explore studies to verify whether or not this is true. Who gives more to charity, the rich or the poor?
Have the facts.
· Argue for your thesis throughout your essay.
· Address objections to your position.
· How should this essay relate to Chapter 2?
· When writing this essay, you are not required to discuss the theories of meaning from Chapter 2 unless you find them relevant to "put yourself first". Focus the entirety of your essay on "put yourself first" and direct alternatives to this way of life as you draw upon the "big picture" from Chapter 2, that is the consequences of having a theory of meaning at all.
· In drafting this essay, I recommend that you also read section 8-3 of The Big Questions and the 1000 Word Philosophy link that I have posted below. Scroll, scroll.
· How many sources do I need to cite?
· You
must site some sources. See the Evidence component of the Critical Thinking Rubric. Though there is no minimum number of cited sources beyond our textbook, sometimes you need to refer to other source material in making your argument. Whenever you discuss content that should be backed up with a source, be sure to incorporate accurate sources and cite them.
· What format and style of citation should I use?
Use MLA. Academic philosophers use Chicago Manual. If you continue studies in philosophy, you will learn Chicago Manual; however, fo.

Critical and Analytical Thinking
Critical thinkingWord ‘critical’ has positive and negative meaningsThe word ‘critical’ in academia describes your attitude when reading an article/chapterBeing critical means weighing up the arguments for and against a particular point.
*
Not just the bad parts
How to think criticallyBe persistent – consider an issue carefully more than onceLook at the evidence for a viewpoint – evaluate it – what are they trying to ‘sell’ me?What are the implications of a view point – is it realistic and rational?Knowing facts and what is right is not what academics is aboutIt is important to identify strengths, satisfactory points and weaknesses when being critical – then you must know why this is soYou should be critical when reading, writing and listening
*
Need to fully understand an argument before you can be critical – be confident
Evaluate=what is the value/effectiveness of something, inc. own opinion and supporting each point with evidence
Question the credibility
You are just assessing ideas not learning the answers
Only want informed opinions
Analytical thinkingBeing analytical mean to look deeper into what is being saidDo not take what you read as ‘given’Evaluate what is being argued – do you agree with it?To be analytical is to question what you read
*
Not just reading what is said but ‘thinking’ about it
How to think analyticallyThink about the view point in relation to the bigger picture – stand backCompare the same issue from the point of other authors – do their views differ?Should be able to see why authors have arrived at different conclusionsYou should be able to argue why you think one set of view points is preferable to anotherYou should be analytical when reading, writing and listening
*
Think about your readings together, put into context
You should be asking why a conclusion has been made – need full understanding for this
Barriers to critical and analytical thinkingBeing critical does not just mean criticiseOur reasoning skills are not objective – we are biased ourselvesReluctance to criticise expertsWanting to know what is right and wrongNot reading deeply enough around a subject – surface knowledge
*
Not always black and white there are lots of grey areas in academics
Being analytical and critical is hard work, you have to read carefully and widely
Critical and analytical readingPrepare for critical reading – skim read the introduction and conclusionFind the conclusions first to help clarify the rest of the readingWhat is the underlying argument/ view point?Question hidden agendas or assumptionsTheory can help fill in the gaps – what is theory?
- set of ideas to explain why something happens and predict outcomes in the futureArguments are often based on theory but an argument is not always a theory
Critical and analytical readingWhere is the evidence for a view point?Check references – are they presented accurately and are they credible? - evaluate that evidence –.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
