A Logical Approach Necessary For Successful Critical Thinking

The importance of a leader’s ability to embrace and promote change can not be over stated. It is imperative for a leader to understand and manage changes in the work place in order to promote innovation and therefore creativity from the work force. A leader that promotes innovation promotes an environment of change and with it people that are encouraged to accept changes. The leader’s role is very important because they have a duty to create and atmosphere that promotes innovative ideas and changes (Huber, 2014).

The Purpose of this paper is to apply the 10 steps developed by (Browne & Keeley, 2010) and I will apply those methods on the following memo. A memo was drafted by Ms. Mary Ford (personal communication, January 30, 2012) who is Director of Amalgamated Public Employees Union (APEU) Local No. 121 to Mr. Hector Fuentes the President of APEU Local No. 121 on the issue on New Mexico State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Outsourcing, proposed by the New Mexico Governor Gloria Gainor.

When the Judge admonished the Jury, he told them they must reach a unanimous decision beyond a reasonable doubt. The "hero" of this movie appears to be Henry Fonda, the first juror to vote "not guilty". He kept challenging the evidence by saying "isn 't it possible?"...that the evidence was wrong. Do some critical thinking on this...using a good paragraph answer if "isn 't it possible?" is the same thing as "beyond a reasonable doubt." Start with a “yes” or “no” and then eleaborate.

She hits a school bus and the bus driver and some children on the bus end up being hospitalized.

Dixie: Amanda, I agree with you that in making personal decisions that I use critical thinking most of the time. It take me time to decide what I want and how the outcome will be. I find that if I don’t use critical thinking the outcome could be way different. Does it take you a long time to make a decision?

Critical thinking is very important to life and to students in school. After reading critical thinking college success on the Lumen website I think defining the problem, examining arguments and clarify thinking are the best strategies. I am more then likely to use these three strategies when dealing with critical thinking. Critical thinking also allow you to express your point of view.

It is through critical thinking that one is able to excel however, in order to achieve a plan must be in place. By reflecting on the day’s activities, one is able to calculate and weigh options that were present thus coming up with the best and efficient way of handling the task at hand.

I think you are right about critical thinking, when you apply critical thinking it change the outcome of things. When we employ critical thinking we learn to see things in a different perspective and it encourages us to think outside of the box. Being able to think critically tells media organizations that we are not mindless sheep who blindly conform to their will. Much like John Fiske’s theory of audience power, Bell Hooks was trying to inform her student to embrace the media organization but don’t be a sheep. In other words, come up with your own meaning from what you observe so that you can make the best judgment about the issues that are unique to own life (Ryle, 2015, p.424). I always tell my eight-year-old stepson to think for himself

As more and more states ban cell phone usage while driving, more and more people have actually looked into this topic to see how big of a distraction cell phones are in the car.

Cell Phones shouldn’t be banned to use while driving.

Critical thinking is more of a complex thing and a guide to the ability to think clearly and simply recall information. I can state that three strategies that would incorporate into my daily life deal with your egocentrism I have as mind that I tend to deny what I have , use "wasted "time by evaluating my strengths and weakness , and redefine the way I see things by negative to positive and also to reshape things. Let’s say you're waiting in line at the bank and like always you need to get out quickly you spot an opportunity to skip someone and you take it you never paid any attention to their needs but who will be in a much hurry than you . This is one situation that egocentrism has an effect on me because I am unaware to see others point

I was surprised to see how beautiful the hospitals are. They look gothic and solid. The mental institutions look really expensive to build and the size is incredible. Even though the hospitals housed many patients, they were forgotten because patients were out of society's view. They did not live in the larger society. It is shocking that some psychiatrists think they were helping patients get care. Some of the psychiatrist' attempts were barbaric. Patients were even being mistreated by some hospital staff. Watching the documentary, I was surprised because the patients' experiences at the mental hospitals were traumatic. Additionally, something that stood out to me was that drugs may have played a role in keeping mental institutions open.

I must admit that I really thought about dropping this class since I was feeling burnt out and just plain tired of thinking; surely a course in logic was going to require me to think! Of course in my role as an oncology nurse I spend five days a week administering dangerous medications and preventing or treating serious side effects, so not thinking is definitely not an option. Besides, I already spent $60 to RENT the Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking textbook, so I might as well “pull up my big girl panties” and get to work.

Critical thinking refers to the comprehensive analysis of a situation or concept to ensure that all the factors are considered to bring an issue to a conclusion. The idea of critical thinking is taught to almost the students in colleges and universities because of its importance to the contemporary living (Shiraev, 2015). In social science, the application of the critical thinking skills is paramount for god results. Additionally, to analyze theories and practices in psychology and philosophy, the concepts are important. In the process of thinking critically, many ideas should be considered for excellent results.

After reviewing the critical thinking question, I do think that the student did jump at the job opportunity based on her emotions. In the question it states that she had an admiration for this employer and said yes, before looking into other possible job opportunities. To me, she let her emotions guide her when making the decision to take the job as oppose to finding other job opportunities. I think that most people are swayed by their emotions or gut feelings they have about making a life changing decision. I also think her decision had to with her just being fresh out of college because it could be that she does not have a lot of job experience. Also, this was the first job offered to her and she did not have to put effort into looking for

“Metacognition means thinking about thinking and can be applied in two general ways. It can mean thinking about the way that you learn best.” (Capella University, 2017) The other meaning of metacognition is the process of monitoring progress in thinking and learning in order to improve that way that you think. Monitoring how you learn and which strategies work the best for you, makes you the manager of your own learning. By doing this, it will help you be more successful whether it is with your school work, work at your job, and/or anything else that requires thinking.
