I also received an email from Artez Briseno, who teaches critical thinking to military personnel, and am including his comments here. He set me up with a challenge within the challenge. My brain's in critical thinking boot camp.
"I took a look at your
blog and will enjoy going back over the next year to see how CT is
hopefully not only more understood and witnessed in your everyday life
but hopefully how it progresses as well.
I think the one that
stuck out the most so far was from Day 5. I knew a lot of young men with
lifted trucks from my high school in Central MO. that became Fire
Fighters, Police Officers, Teachers, and yes, an
EMT. I know a few that volunteer in multiple youth organizations across
the US in an attempt to assist with adding even just the least amount
of stability to a troubled young child’s life. If it’s one thing that I
have found that will get me in trouble more
often than anything else is the act of making unwarranted assumptions.
When I think about it though, I find the worst part about it is that it
rarely negatively impacts those around me directly, but it limits my
own growth potential, possibly preventing me
from helping those around me now as well as in the future.
Might I make one
request? Dedicated one week to each of the CT standards. Make an attempt
to find all the ways you can apply and identify that one throughout
your life for seven days and write about it. I would
really enjoy that!
Enjoy your blog. What a great idea!
