As a critical thinker, you’ll be better equipped to face the challenges presented by an ever changing world and you’ll be well served in both your personal and professional life.<BR/><BR/>Deshawn Romero<BR/>http://www.bizsum.comDeshawn Romerohttp://www.bizsum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-6093630261562162612008-07-02T19:48:00.000+03:002008-07-02T19:48:00.000+03:00Glad you are trying to define CT. There seems to be a lot of confusion on the web about what critical thinking actually is. Some people are equating it with the New Atheism. Some think CT is all about debunking pseudoscience. Others are defending their own ideologies across the spectrum and calling this CT.<BR/>Also, I think you need to be pretty specific when you get into politics and ideologies.Coralieenddumbdown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-55977166025688367592007-10-03T20:00:00.000+03:002007-10-03T20:00:00.000+03:00I agree--learning how to engage in critical thinking has literally changed the way I approach issues every day. One of the most helpful tools I've learned is how to use a closed logic process to define what a problem is and what it is not. I'm amazed at how many people try to use brainstorming to identify the root cause of a problem rather than using logic to eliminate everything that can't be cause.Joe Jordanwww.actionm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-73979088863114376732007-06-19T19:18:00.000+03:002007-06-19T19:18:00.000+03:00Many people lack such skills.

My wife's class only skimmed these.<BR/><BR/>Instead, her class heavily focused on the grunt work of using ever-more complicated <I>Truth Tables</I> to evaluate arguments. Yes, I had to learn <I>Truth Tables</I>, too, but mine at their worst, probably never had more than 144 elements to it. That's a lot to be sure, but my wife's grew much larger and were extremely tedious.<BR/><BR/>Both have their place in evaluating arguments. The <I>Fallacies of Relevance</I> probably work better in conversation (I can't see diagramming <I>Truth Tables</I> at the dinner table with an already obnoxious relative or at a business meeting with a slick salesman).<BR/><BR/>But lengthy written communication may be better evaluated by using the more discerning <I>TruthTables</I>.Samuel Thornton Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644043417204365446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-39926573569624114392007-06-08T17:11:00.000+03:002007-06-08T17:11:00.000+03:00i am pleased to see people who are wanting to use thier minds. if you are going to make it thru this life you need to have good skills in this area. as a bar manager for many years putting me in many diferant situations where i had to think! fast and right! everyone should keep up on what is going on around them to be a productive member of society. i have tried to make sure my boys were aware and active as they grew older. right now my boys and i are experiencing the very thing you arespeaking of. what is to be our top priority? everything is needed and important and every decision made now will be life changing for us all. my dad use to say, " think about each of your issues and as you think of them ask can i do anything about this today? if yes then you have made your plan, if you can't do anything then just file it back till the next day and work from there". it's worked real good thruout my life. hopefully others will find it useful too.chattydepphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06194978187637088496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-78888662931832396882007-06-08T14:08:00.000+03:002007-06-08T14:08:00.000+03:00We think along common lines. Another important course that goes hand and hand with logic is Ethics,<BR/>which deals with how we define and tackle a "Moral Dilemma". The code we use to reason out our position is often of more value in defining who we are, than the position itself. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, we use logic, sometimes we use emotion, but how we decide between choices in a moral dilemma exhibits our ability to think logically.<BR/><BR/>The big question is , <BR/>How do we prioritize goals when often life and time, forces us to place those things on the bottom of the list we consider just as important as those on the top of the list.<BR/><BR/>jonjon perceptohttp://www.eclecticcommons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-57437584031724041252007-06-08T09:56:00.000+03:002007-06-08T09:56:00.000+03:00I was afraid when I took the GRE's first logic test.
