The Importance Of Critical Thinking Habits

895 Words4 Pages

“Ask the shop assistant yourself, David, otherwise, you wouldn’t get the money from me to purchase the lollipop!” Concerning about me being too shy, my parents always dedicated eagerly to give me more chances to speak to strangers. Being a six-year-old kid at that time, I was too nervous to make a conversation with anybody except my closest relatives and friends while everybody else at the same age played like crazy on the playground. Somehow my mom and dad were disappointed by my behavior and warned me, “If you keep being a chicken as if you would be killed talking to strangers, you would never survive in the society.” It is true that I hated to be too loud and over energetic, but I feel more miserable and upset being alone. Therefore, I have …show more content…

Currently, I am studying Advanced Placement for college curriculum which introduces the approach of learning for me. For instance, for AP Human Geography, which I found really interesting in learning, social phenomenon is always explained and established in both positive and negative way, in other words, in a critical way. Same thing happens in AP Drawing class, in which we are ordered to evoke for attention on any aspect of the world through the expression of art and drawings, in a critical way. A week ago I was establishing my AP Drawing portfolio’s concentration when I got stuck at how to elaborate my depiction of Viking and ISIS in a way of critical thinking. It is true that these two groups of people are both violent, but how to establish a more profound thesis statement? I later discussed with one of my friends who is extremely good at social science and history. He told me that I should go deeper into their motivation, which I later discovered in researching; and I was able to make connections between them.

    During my sophomore year, Advanced Placement United States History class quickly became my favorite course. I was one of the youngest in my class, surrounded by mostly upperclassmen who seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Intimidated by this class, I poured myself into my studies and fell in love with history, especially the creation of the United States. The debates between Federalists and Jeffersonians about the future of America, the enactment of Enlightenment ideals in this new experiment of a country, the creation of the Articles of Confederation, and then the Constitution, and later all the Amendments fascinated me. The complexity of all these issues and the fundamental question underlying these issues, how to create the best government, piqued my interest in a way completely different than the formulas and equations of my Chemistry classes.

    For example, throughout this course, we have learned first-hand accounts of the different European relationships with the Native Americans. European groups like the Spanish, English, French, and Dutch entered the new world with their own cultural ideologies, norms, and religions. When each European group arrived, the stark differences between the ways the Native Americans lived and the cultures they built were enough to spoil relationships. The Europeans and the Native Americans looked at each other through their own cultural lens, which impacted the way they interacted. As someone who is majoring in Communications, the way in which my studies complemented the information in this course made me realize how a cultural lens impacts America today.
