  learned about the barriers that one can encounter
  in critical thinking and the characteristics of a
  good critical thinker. This assignment will help

• As a critical thinker, it is important to
  understand the elements of an argument and how
  certain types of statements can affect the
  validity of an argument. As you learned in the
  readings this week, arguments are used to
  convince us of an outcome. You read about how to
  identify an issue, the role that issues play in
  arguments, how to differentiate between an
  argument and rhetoric, and the different types of
  arguments you may encounter. In this assignment,
  you will choose an issue to evaluate, then
  respond to questions about the issue you selected.

•  
• Words can have different meanings in different
  contexts, and that is the case with the
  word critical. Using a shared definition makes
  discussion more productive, so to begin, this
  week we define what is meant by critical
  thinking. Sometimes, the word critical means being
  picky. It can also mean that something
  is important, as in that is a critical part of
  this machine. However, neither of those
  definitions reflects the meaning of critical as
  it is used in the phrase critical thinking.

  influence the effectiveness of critical
  thinking, including reason, communication, and
  emotion.

• Every day we are a party to arguments. This is
  another instance where defining our words is
  important. When we talk about critical thinking,
  the "arguments" we refer to are not the conflicts
  or squabbles we have with others in our daily
  interactions.
