1) Six thinking hats process: The six thinking hats (parallel thinking) game was divided by de Bono (1995) to help people think more effectively. He equates thinking to being like putting on a hat.

Both argumentation and intelligence analysis are based on careful thinking and planning to convince the audience (or consumer) of a point of view or position. During the intelligence process, argumentation can be used effectively with the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses. This can be likened to an analyst’s argument

Dr. Timothy Hinton proposes an ideology in his paper that states he believes justice requires humans to have duties to our fellow citizens. Although he also provides libertarian views to explain each sides role in society when dealing with others in our community, Hinton favors the egalitarian view claiming everyone should rest at a medium having all classes be well off and willing to share the Earth’s resources equally (Hinton,2012:539).

The final paraphrase he visitors research paper is both relevant to the authors position, and further cinches both the hero status of the protagonist and the saving powers of thinking for oneself. 6.

present no concrete facts and build an entire case for the jury’s bias to act on. One of the witnesses, the deceased’s wife, was brought to the stand not for her testimony, but for the jury to see the distress of this white woman.
