Critical Thinking: Eng 75
Realty what is real and fact Chapter 3
10-02-2006
In critical thinking we must evaluate all parts of a situation before coming to a final conclusion. We must observe all that surrounds our argument otherwise how can one come to a educate conclusion. You must not only look for facts that are present but also facts that are not there, narrowing down what it truth from foe. When taking observation you must know the difference between a reliable observation and an unreliable observation. It is also important while collecting all this data to not allow it to sway your judgment because it is an ongoing process, keep an open mind until you have the full picture in front of you.
Chapter 4 Inference
Inference thinking is natural to humans, if some one walks up to us with a gun in there hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen.
Chapter 5 Assumption
Assumption is a pre-existing belief, for example it would be wise to assume that walking the streets of Oakland at night souls be unsafe. Assumptions may also sprout from experiences such as, every time I walk passed by neighbors house there dog barks, so from then on I know when I go passed there front yard I am going to hear a barking dog.
Assumption and Inference are deeply intertwined, our assumptions come from our belief our inference comes form our assumptions this basics of how human nature comes up with logical reasoning.
