The bible teaches us about critical thinking and how it is unquestionably essential. We are all bombarded with a relentless multitude of information that frantically pounds our senses with information. We must make resolutions on religion, politics and social issues. As the great Friedrich Nietzsche once said “Doubt as sin. Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, events the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted, are the blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
Becoming a Christian allowed me to look at the world …show more content…

I say this because before I became a Christian I observed the world to be a horrific place and every wicked person should go to hell for doing wrong. But me being a noble critical thinker in a Christian way I now view the world to have hatred, war and greed. The world has love, peace and humanity. If I was to indicate the negatively in the world then I would not be able see how the world is a positive way and vice versa. I believe the world is not horrific or abundant. One day I might meet someone enjoyable and then the next day meet someone wicked. My understanding of this world is that there is bad in this world and the good will always outcome the bad and everything happens for a reason. Think of it this way the world is just like a human being it is not impeccable but it is stunning in each and every way that we can always demonstrate

    The author Vincent Ruggiero defines critical thinking in his book Beyond Feelings: A Guide to Critical Thinking, as a “search for answers, a quest.” It is the idea that one does not accept claims, ideas, and arguments blindly, but questions and researches these things before making a decision on them. From what I learned in class, critical thinking is the concept of accepting that there are other people and cultures in this world that may have different opinions. It is being able to react rationally to these different opinions.

    ...er virtues. It is impossible to experience the joy of forgiveness, without not allowing the fall. Disasters produce patience, and without free will there is no pain. So, the world where evil does not exist is morally incomplete. It is hard to tell if any of the alternative worlds are better from the moral perspective than the world that we have now. There is no proof of that, so it is also hard to prove that God created not the best of all possible worlds, even if this world has the distortion of good in it. But it also does not mean that the world that we have now is the best one. God did not finish his creation and it is said in the Scripture that there will be a better world later without any suffering. (Rev. 21:1-4) However, the world that we have now is a creation of God, who is all-good, omnipotent and omniscient, and for now there is a reason for evil to be.

    The ability to reflect critically on one’s experience, integrate knowledge gained from experience with knowledge possessed, and take action on insights is considered by some adult educators to be a distinguishing feature of the adult learner (Brookfield 1998; Ecclestone 1996; Mezirow 1991). Critical reflection is the process by which adults identify the assumptions governing their actions, locate the historical and cultural origins of the assumptions, question the meaning of the assumptions, and develop alternative ways of acting (Cranton 1996). Brookfield (1995) adds that part of the critical reflective process is to challenge the prevailing social, political, cultural, or professional ways of acting. Through the process of critical reflection, adults come to interpret and create new knowledge and actions from their ordinary and sometimes extraordinary experiences. Critical reflection blends learning through experience with theoretical and technical learning to form new knowledge constructions and new behaviors or insights.

    In his essay Critical Thinking: What Is It Good For? (In Fact, What Is It), Howard Gabennesch explains the importance of critical thinking by drawing attention to how its absence is responsible for societies many ills including, but not limited to, the calamity in Vietnam. Yet, at the end of his essay, Gabennesch also mentions that, despite “the societal benefits of critical thinking, at the individual level, uncritical thinking offers social and psychological rewards of its own.”(14). Similarly, it is these rewards that, like the bait on a fishhook, often make individuals hesitant to engage in critical thinking despite the resulting harm to both them and society.

    The study of how individuals interact, think, and their emotion affect the people around them describe what psychologists, like Kurt Lewin, analyze in social psychology. Being an anxious, self-effacing, and quiet individual, I can apply that to my social thinking toward my everyday life. Being from Laotian and Thai descent, my culture revolved around contemplating beforehand what one might say so that other person’s feelings were not hurt. Taking this into consideration, my daily intuition has been shaped to suit my needs of observing and analyzing people. Whether I’m walking around school, a store, or even in my neighborhood, I tend to make decisions based on my judgement. Examinations worked half of the time, as I tried to avoid the crowd
