Return to Critical Thinking
After our first class, I asked you to be on the look out for "reflective deliberative contexts" that arise in everyday life. Noticing this will help you understand the basic concepts of the course and see opportunities for applying the skills in the course every day.
On this page, I'd like you to report 1-3 examples from your field observations of reflective deliberative contexts. A simple report could begin, "I was at the COG and people at the table started talk about ...." Then try to focus on the specific reasons or explanations you observed during the discussion. Keep it brief, but feel free to comment on the exchange if something comes to mind after you finish your description. Follow the pattern below on section headings

Field Observation 1 Listening to friends talk about foot ball, one claimed that the Raiders would be much better with a different Quarter Back. His rational was that the current QB is a ball hog and does not work hard.
Field Observation 2 When reading an online news journal,I saw that they claimed that Marijuana should be legalized. They supported their claim saying that it would be financially beneficial for the government.
Field Observation 3 My Sociology book asserted that people with weaker ties to others in their community, also tend to have more ties. This is because weaker ties take less time and effort than strong ties, so you can keep up with more of them.
