Critical Thinking is about becoming a better thinker in every aspect of your life: in your career, and as a consumer, citizen, friend, parent, and lover. Discover the core skills of effective thinking; then analyze your own thought processes, identify weaknesses, and overcome them. Learn how to translate more effective thinking into better decisions, less frustration, more wealth, and above all, greater confidence to pursue and achieve your most important goals in life.
Using Critical Thinking to Take Charge of How We See Things
As in the case of all the elements, one takes charge of their point of view by practicing bringing it out into the open. The more we recognize point of view at work in our thinking and in the thinking of others, the more points of view we learn to think within, the more effectively will we use point of view in our thinking.
Test the IdeaPractice in Making Explicit Our Point of ViewWhat follows is a list of possible objects of our thinking. Choose from this list seven possible ones to think about. Then identify how you would look at each, from your point of view. For example, you might decide, "When I look at people, I see a struggle to find happiness" or, "When I look at the future, I see myself as a lawyer taking cases that protect the environment" or, "When I look at the health care system, I see a system that does not provide adequately for the poor." Once you write your sentence, see if you can further characterize how what you said explains your point of view.
When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) When I look at ____________________, I see (from my point of view) |
