• Neurophysiologist research suggests that human
  thinking has two distinct phases which are
  complementary in making decisions or solving
  problems. The first, or production phase, is
  associated with our creative thinking- seeing the
  familiar in a novel way, generating a variety of
  ideas, and a willingness to take imaginative
  risks the second, or judgment phase, kicks in
  our critical thinking, as the mind goes to work
  evaluating, distinguishing fact and evidence from
  sense impression, and running the tests of logic
  to apply what has been produced (Ruggiero, 2009,
  pp. 7-8). Chapter 1 The Brain Mind at Work

•  Debating moral questions is important as we seek

• Some of the most innovative people were branded
  by their contemporaries as slow learners (Winston
  Churchill), clumsy (Martha Graham), stupid
  (Thomas Edison), or unimpressive (Albert
  Einstein). Yet these individuals persisted in
  developing their creative and critical thinking
  abilities, refusing to define themselves by other
  peoples assessments.

•  Looking over a list of the worlds inventions is
  in itself a good reminder that we each stand on
  the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
  It also brings to mind the fact that we take a
  lot for granted. Doing this exercise we may even
  come to think that all the worlds inventions are
  already here and in use. What an interesting
  creativity-blocker that could be! Then delving
  into the mind of any inventor exposes us to the
  very creative process itself, to the ways
  critical thinking shaped original ideas, and to
  the interesting steps that brought an innovative
  idea to market. Even the naming of an invention
  can in itself invite us into the creative process!

•  
• This Discussion Question will invite each of us
  to do a Controversial Issues Brainstorming
  session. Note that our text makes a key
  distinction between a problem and an issue, both
  of which call us to use our creative and critical

  solutions or novel approaches. Inventors and
  scientists focus more on problems, while
  politicians, parents and leaders address human
  issues.

•  Each of us makes assumptions continually in a
  typical day, and many of them are hidden. Clearly
  this is an important potential obstacle of clear
  or critical thinking. Stephen Covey recognized
  this when he said, We simply assume that the way
  we see things is the way they really are or the
  way they should be. And our attitudes and
  behaviors grow out of these (ThinkExist.com).
  Marshall McLuhan called us to an ongoing review
  of our assumptions Most of our assumptions have
  outlived their usefulness (ThinkExist.com).

•  Chapter 11 in our text is about solving problems
  we encounter in our personal, professional or
  vocational lives. Most of us can call up a
  problem that can be worked on from either of
  these domains, fairly easy. Practice in
  problem-solving is also a major goal of this
  course. Select one problem that is current or as
  recent as possible for you in one of these areas
  (or if you cannot come up with one, select one
  problem covered in Chapter 11), and in a post of
