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.

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

During our course we have pined over the arguments in

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.

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.

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. I have had several encounters where language has the potential to really hurt someone, or even me.

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

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

I watched the Lochner v. New York case. Before I watched this case, I did some research and thought it wasn’t a really important or meaningful case because it is just a case that bakery owner against the Bakeshop Act law made by New York City. But After watching this video, I totally changed my mind. Just like the reporter said (at 1:30 of the video), “this case brings rise to an era that defined the supreme court for the next thirty years. Randy Barnett, a professor of Georgetown Law School, also showed how important this case was in American political history.
