• 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
  to solve problems or face complex issues in life.
  Our text mentions four working principles, as we
  evaluate the obligations, ideals, consequences
  and circumstances in a situation (Ruggiero, 2009,
  pp. 41-42). Chapter 2 The Basis of Moral
  Judgment Select ONE of the cases included in
  our text on pages 46-47 Application 2.6 at end

• 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!

  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
  thinking skills, to come up with innovative
  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).

• 3.1 The history of philosophy is full of minor
  and major philosophers who have used deductive
  logic to address the tough perennial questions of
  life related to metaphysics (what is real),
  epistemology (what is true), and ethics (what is
  the good life). Some of the issues they have
  responded to have been quite esoteric, such as
  where or how the human brain connects with the
  mind and thinking process (Plato Descartes).
  Many of the early philosophers tried to explain
  how life changes, but also maintains some
  continuity (Pythagoras Socrates).
