Critical Thinking
Discussion-
Identify a problem in society, your own life, in the life of someone you know, or in the life of someone you have read about. Analyze aspects of the problem and present a solution to this problem from your own perspective. Use the concepts from the chapters to guide your analysis. You can also talk about irrational problem solving that has already occurred in relation to the problem that you identify.
Your explanations must have reasons that support them.
Assignment-
Provide an example from your own experience where you acted in accordance with one or more of the patterns of irrational or unethical decision making. Explain the egocentrism or sociocentrism, as well as any pathological tendencies of mind, involved in your thought process. How could you have applied the keys to sound decision making to approach the situation more rationally?
If you prefer not to discuss your own decision making experience, you may instead discuss someone you know, a historical figure, or a fictional character.
Your response must be at least 2 pages in length and should be typed using 12-point Times New Roman font. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material should have accompanying citations in APA format. The title and reference page do not count towards the 2-page minimum.
