1. Sometimes Political leaders make statements appealing to emotion and give the impression that holding the middle-ground position is not an option. President George W. Bush used this type of appeal after September 11, 2001, but stating you are “either with us or you are with the terrorists.” (Address to the joint session of U.S. Congress, September 20, 2001.).

    Critical thinking involves a persons ability to reason in order to support their belief. To begin the critical thinking process one must acknowledge the problem at hand, find information on the problem; research, examine the problem closely, apply moral principles, decide the best ethical choice and be able to support the claim, then go back over the process on how one came to their conclusion and lastly reflect on their decision. I have learned that the critical thinking skills process is a buiding block, each step builds onto the other to come to a ethical solution at the end. There is no shortcut to the steps and if I do so then I will not get a logical conclusion to my problem. I beleive out of all the steps the one I find myself using…

    The two strategies that I would have applied to help foster critical thinking and to help lead you to the root cause of the illegal immigration would be applying curiosity and avoiding assumptions. Applying curiosity can increases awareness of problems and issues, enabling you to feel dissatisfactions and annoyances more consciously and to regard them more productively as challenges and opportunities. Psychologists have long recognized that when we travel a particular mental route a second or third time, we often follow our earlier footsteps without realizing that we are doing so. What has been tried in the past and what is tried now to help prevent illegal immigration has not worked. What is needed to be known is why so the solutions tried will not be tried again; new solutions need to be tried. I also chose avoiding assumptions as to assume is to take something for granted, to expect that things will be a certain way because they have been that way in the past or because you want them to be that way. It’s natural to make assumptions. It is assumed that the solutions that are in place will work when all one has to do is look around, pick up a newspaper or do an internet search. One can just pick up the phone for assistance and listen to another person struggle to speak English, I for one cannot understand what that person is trying to say and it is known that they do not understand you as well. If applying for citizenship, one should have to speak the native language.…

    I register for this Critical Thinking Class to complete one of my requirements in General Education. Since I already knew how to think; I assume this would be a refresher class. How wrong I was to place a barrier on my thinking process. These past two weeks have shown me; personal barriers I didn’t know I had. My personal barriers range from sibling rivalry, my own preconceived notions, surroundings, peer pressure, family, past experiences and envy. I will discuss some of these personal barriers below and how Critical Thinking changes my thoughts and how I saw things.…
