Critical Engagement

Ensure that your plate has more of the lean meat and vegetables rather than generous helpings of stuffing and sweets.  Pick one form of starch Starch-rich foods will be aplenty at the table, but resist the temptation to load everything on your plate if you do not want to send your blood sugar level skyrocketing. Instead, choose one item like macaroni and cheese, fried appetizers, or mashed potatoes. Although these are not quite what you would term as healthy food options, you can surely make the best out of the situation by choosing just one.  Go the light way If you are the host for a Thanksgiving dinner, you have the opportunity to make your dishes with less sugar and fat.

What if I had 10 children and asked them what they wanted to eat or drink for dinner. They would probably respond with asking for chips, candy, and soda. Although as a health conscious parent, I may not want them to eat the junk food, because there are ten of them and one of me, I would be morally wrong for denying

In general, assessing whether an argument is a good one based on subtle changes in how you feel about a topic is accurate but in reality the argument lacks true components of an academic argument. During our course we have pined over the arguments in

Despite knowing the deadly consequences of junk food, we go for it denying the fact that they make us unhealthier and less attractive every time we consume it. We think it is one way to get cultured. Trust me, it’s definitely not. In the name of westernization we are degrading our health. These junk foods are designed and made in such a way that it makes us get addicted to it, craving to have more and more.

Even though, fast food could be delicious to eat, you really have to be careful of what's in it, such as this chemical, Don’t make anybody eat this junk! Do you want them sick? Of course, if you stay away and be aware about what's inside of your food then your family is going to be healthy. In conclusion, be aware of what is inside of your food, and what kinds of chemical may exist in your

If we didn’t have fast food in the present days, we would be vegetarians or we would all have extreme thin bodies because we didn’t eat food that contains a big amount of carbohydrates. Fast food was made for a purpose and it’s for people who work in offices and are in a hurry to their job during their break. So they grab a meal and make their way quick back to their seats. There have been debates and scientific researches over whether fast food is the main cause of obesity and that it should be blamed for its cause. Mostly people agree with the part of it being the biggest problem for our health and some disagree.

One of his view’s main proponents are, “these extremes of sensation remain beyond the power of language to express” (Selzer 28). According to this view, he is expressing the idea that language, as powerful as it is, might not always be efficient enough to explain a sensation. In sum, then, the issue whether language constructs our thought or vice versa. My own view is that language does indeed construct thought. Though I concede that language shapes our thought, I still maintain a view that language might not always be powerful enough in certain situations.

It was proven also that issues can be misconstrued to be ones of too great importance and one may then overestimate the amount of conflict. There is another implication as a result of the findings. If one is egocentric then they may fail to see opportunities upon which they could benefit, even when they are plain to see. The may be so focused on their issues and what they think is important and because of this both sides may not come out of the negotiation having gained

Like critical thinking, the conclusion arrived at in reasoned dialogue also remains open-ended. These two processes are different from dialectic reasoning (Horvath, 2011). In dialectic thinking, a conclusion must be reached, which entails the truth. However, dialectic reasoning shares an attribute with critical thinking, which is the ability to analyze issues from multiple perspectives before arriving at a particular conclusion Many scholars are unable to tell the difference between Critical thinking, reasoned dialogue, and dialectic reasoning. It is clear that the three aspects relate closely because they all require a certain degree of brain activity.

People want relief from stress even if this ends up changing their beliefs. Looking for more than one estimate of the same quantity, especially in a group; produces better final judgements then an individual first estimate. Even though we prefer to hear perspectives similar to our own, we are better off hearing different perspectives to make more informative decisions. Confidence earns trust and credibility, but when one is found to be wrong their credibility is now questioned. Assessing the overconfidence of people around us is often overlooked causing overprecision.

• I chose to compare fast food restaurants because I don’t use a lot of different things or services so it would be hard for me to review one thing and it would also be hard for me to meet the word count on just one item. I chose quality of service as one of my criteria because it’s important to note things like your food coming out fast and the restraint not giving you the

I find ethnographic to be a great way to collect information but there are limitations of ethnographic research that can be found. Participants during the observation might present an ideal behavior or tell the researcher what they think the researcher would like to hear which I found at some point with Hernandez research. Although this limitation can affect the attempt to provide an accurate description, this limitation usually occurs at the initial stage of the research. Hernandez suggests the researchers not to accept too readily the validity of initial impression. Another way to avoid this problem is by treating the participants not as research subject.

Carr talks not only how it is affecting us but also some ways to stop ourselves from actually becoming too immersed in our technology. My other resources don’t really challenge anything unlike Carr. The reading makes me think very deeply and I must really try to think and make meaning of what Carr
