Dr. Derek Cabrera’s thought on metacognition, human and education is absorbing. He shares perspectives on four universal thinking skills: Distinctions; “Systems; Relationships; and Perspectives (DSRP)” that should be taught in learning institutions. Dr. Cabrera states, “Thinking is simply a process of structuring information and doing something meaningful with it.” Dr. Cabrera also argues that people lack critical analytical thinking, great at school work, but not real life situation. Education needs to be fixed from the bottom up; that can be accomplished by teaching thinking skills.

James Dashner’s dystopian book, “The Eye of Minds,” takes place in the Virtnet, a virtual reality used to escape the real world. Michael, a user of the Virtnet, is asked for help. The VNS needed to find a gamer named Kaine, who has been causing chaos in the Virtnet. To complete the task at hand, Michael comes in contact with many obstacles. Because of this, he has to be determined to defeat Kaine, and bring the Virtnet back to sanity.

This, of course, precludes critical judgment completely. It also pretty much destroys the idea that useful or interesting material should be taught, because you can’t test for reflexive obedience until you know whether you can make kids learn, and do foolish and boring things.” The school system’s adjective or adaptive function is primarily a tool in which the education system teaches students to respond to authority and become submissive to its power. With this response to authority, students are not encouraged to critically think or question systems in power. This lack of critical thinking helps the oppressor in subordinating student populations due to the fact that students are not being given the tools to think critically in general.

Critical thinking is necessary to evaluate and scrutinize thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. For instance, when people decide to make a decision about religion, critical thinkers will have more skill in making their belief and action more accurate. In the drama Inherit the Wind, Brady is a man who has a strong belief in God through the Bible. Drummond is an agnostic who does not affirm in the existence of God, and accepts in the evolution theory of Darwin.

I believe that I have matured beyond the stage of relativism and dualism onto the commitment stage because of my ability to use a combination of reason, valid evidence, and opinion to formulate theories about certain topics. Dualism can be summarized as a stage in development where the factors for decision making are mostly limited to solid facts and verified evidence. Relativism is when opinions are used to formulate a thesis, and as mentioned in the original discussion post, that they all carry equal weight. A potential issue with the relativist mindset could be that the students at this stage do not allow for the hesitation needed for successful decision making. Due to the fact that I consider myself at the commitment stage, I do not think

Allowing children to learn to think critically helps them to solve problems and have a logical argument about something they believe is true. Applying critical thinking into schools gives a child a chance to make a difference. Also, Elizabeth McKinstry agrees with Hummell in challenging the next generation to think for themselves. McKinstry writes about how Common Core education helps children become more interactive in the world and teaches them how to apply the knowledge they have learned in life. McKinstry said, "Their reality is not connected to a world outside the boundaries in which they live" (McKinstry 20).

King has provided his opinion about education is building character. Dr. King uses his words to create an audience awareness to think for yourself isn’t the same as you may call it critical thinking. Against the common assumption that colleges should teach their students “critical reasoning,” Dr. King argues that critical thinking alone is insufficient and even dangerous. Teaching one to think critically is no small task. Most students learn by constructing knowledge based on an engaged learning process rather than by absorbing knowledge from passive sources.

I think that dualism is the correct view of the human experience, but there are flaws in the argument. Firstly, my views are biased to my spiritual beliefs. Also, I do not one hundred percent believe that I right. In regards to issues of biology and technology, there are definitely some holes in the dualism argument. When I think about the mind, I think of the ability to have nonlinear thoughts.

1. Philosophical analysis is an essential tool for the improvement of our critical thinking skills. The world have introduced to us different ideas about life, death and the existence of God, and thinking about these concepts could sometimes be really confusing. The only effective way to analyze these kinds of concepts is through critical thinking, breaking down the broad and big questions into smaller and more specific questions to understand them better.

Critical thinking allows social workers to recognize oppression beyond ideologies taking on a political practice and assessing how limited resources are and where the power comes from to make decisions about how those resources are allocated (Adams et al,

In my experience, what Martin Luther King Jr. calls “thinking intensively and critically” is very different from what my high school teachers called “critical thinking”, most especially by the way Dr. King links intelligence and learning to the development of character, that is, growth as a person. Too often in my past, teachers mentioned critical thinking only as a mental activity of seeing through stereotypes, evaluating both sides of issues and understanding and accepting differences. As worthwhile as these are, I have found that high level thinking without having a more enlightened character is simply inadequate. That was a recent, very positive experience with two very nice people of different faiths. As much as we had been taught in class about prejudice, the recent terrorists attacks across the world bred a good deal of ill-will in

Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who regarded cognitive development as a maturational process (Martin, Carlson & Buskist, 2010). Piaget constructed his conclusions through the observation of his own children and children at his Centre of Genetic Epistemology in Geneva. Piaget observed that children depend on an altered type of thinking when compared to the way in which adults think. A child’s thinking is qualitatively different than an adult’s thinking. Through his study, Piaget found that children of a similar age are inclined to behave in a similar manner and make similar mistakes when problem-solving.

An issue in theoretical basis on what should prevail or which is supreme between International Law or Municipal Law (national law) is usually presented as a competition between monism and dualist. But in modern approach there is now the theory of coordination or is also called Harmonization theory that rejects the presumption of the other two theoretical concept, monism and dualism. The monist view asserts the international law’s supremacy over the municipal law even in matters within the internal or domestic jurisdiction of a state. While it is true that the international law defines the legal existence of states as well of the validity of its national legal order, the dualist asserts the international law is an existing system that is completely separated from municipal or national law. That dictates the

Discussion Forum Post Week 7 Univ. 1001 Job postings often state that the successful applicant must have "superior critical thinking and problem solving skills. " Employers tell college administrators that graduates, both from undergraduate and graduate programs, often lack these skills. 1. Having read this week's assigned materials, and having a clear understanding of what is meant by "critical thinking," why are employers making these comments?
