Richard Paul, in his Critical Thinking: What Every Person Needs to Survive in a Rapidly Changing World, says a critical thinker "is someone who is able to think well and fair-mindedly not just about her own beliefs and viewpoints, but about beliefs and viewpoints that are diametrically opposed to her own. And not just to think about them, but to explore and appreciate their adequacy, their cohesion, their very reasonableness [when compared with] their own. More, a person who thinks critically is not just willing and able to explore alien, potentially threatening viewpoints, but she also desires to do so. She questions her own deeply-held beliefs, and if there are no opposing viewpoints ready at hand, she seeks them out or constructs them herself."
Does that describe you? Where do you need to improve in your thinking? How has what you read helped you formulate a plan? Be specific in areas needed for improvement and why, as well as plans for improvement.
