Recommended: Short note on critical thinking

Every person has their own weaknesses and challenges, and when it comes to writing mine are paragraphs and sentence structures. My main weakness is the structure of my paragraphs, because sometimes I tend to forget to create a new paragraph when switching from one focus area to another. An example would be from essay four, Western Views of Death, in the first body paragraph. Within this paragraph the main point is the “rapid advancement of technology and research in the medical field,” (Rivera, “Western…” Final Draft 1). The focus point drastically switches from a simple flu shot to a deadly disease called cancer, and instead of having them in one paragraph I should’ve made them into two separate ones. The second example for a paragraph structuring correction is from essay one. On the 4th page, I was discussing the how the media causes social stereotypes through slander. In the beginning of the paragraph it was …show more content…

I also do not have as much anxiety as I had in the past, and I am able to get my ideas out on paper a lot easier. Critical thinking is not only important to me as a write, but also as a future officer in the U.S. Army. With critical thinking I have the ability to analyze my prompt to get my ideas and main points together to create an outline of the topic or situation at hand. This also allows me to gather the proper information and resources to support the purpose of the essay for the audience. I will be using this my knowledge of my critical thinking skills for future essays, especially next semester when I will be taking the Freshman Composition II class. This skill will also be extremely important for my future career as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. As a future leader it is very important for me to be efficient in the critical thinking process, since it is used in all combat

  • 1.08 Critical Thinking

    603 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I sat on the floor for 10 minutes, facing the corner, and talking to no one, while groaning. It felt weird because I could sense people glaring at me, and I could predict, what they are probably saying. They would probably think I am crazy or have some mental issue because of the way I am behaving. It also felt very lonely because I wasn’t able to talk to anyone, and that’s when I started to think deeply about something. During the 10 minutes, the time seems to go slower, especially when you are thinking deeply. 5 minutes in real life seemed like 30 minutes, when I was in the corner. I learned that caring for Christopher must have been hard for the parents, and it is understandable that time to time, the parents could lose their temper.

  • My Strength and Weakness in Composition Writing Class

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first writing weakness was deciding what to write about. I had to read the essay topic over and over again to understand what it was asking for. I would worry that I wouldn’t understand the topic correctly. While writing the essay I was scared to get out of topic and write about something else I wasn’t supposed to write about. Another thing that would happen to me was that suddenly my mind would go blank and wouldn’t be able to think about what else I could write about. The essay I liked writing the most this semester was the second essay. I enjoyed making my own planet and how my alien had a quest with all the commercials I saw on the TV. The hardest essay I wrote this semester was the fourth and last essay. I got confused when I was writing the body paragraphs. This writing weakness impacted my life by showing me that I have trouble thinking about how I could write my essays. I think I should start reading books and maybe I could get a few ideas out of those books.

She or He motivates people both inside and outside the chain of command to pursue actions, focus thinking, and shape decisions for the greater good of the organization.1” But for him to do that effectively and efficiently , he has to be prepared, shaped and refined.

  • Analysis Of The Essay 'Critical Thinking' By Howard 229nnesch

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his essay Critical Thinking: What Is It Good For? (In Fact, What Is It), Howard Gabennesch explains the importance of critical thinking by drawing attention to how its absence is responsible for societies many ills including, but not limited to, the calamity in Vietnam. Yet, at the end of his essay, Gabennesch also mentions that, despite “the societal benefits of critical thinking, at the individual level, uncritical thinking offers social and psychological rewards of its own.”(14). Similarly, it is these rewards that, like the bait on a fishhook, often make individuals hesitant to engage in critical thinking despite the resulting harm to both them and society.
