Problem
During this course you will keep a journal reflecting on your thoughts about the topic we explore each week. Please use the prompts to guide your reflection.
Given what you have learned about using critical thinking skills and actively open-minded thinking skills, reflect on how this knowledge will prepare you for your future workplace (Theme Park Manager), voting in upcoming elections, and problem-solving in everyday life.
What are some roadblocks that you anticipate in utilizing some of these skills you have learned? For example, when an emotionally charged topic comes up in your workplace, when considering who to vote for, or when addressing a problem that arises, how might this emotional response impact your ability to remain open-minded, use 'DSRP' skills, or think critically about the topic?
We all have established beliefs and values. How do you think those beliefs have become established? How do those beliefs impact conclusions you have come to regarding some of these circumstances? Give examples to illustrate your ideas.
