Question

Watch the Milgram film Obedience. Discuss ways in which the participants in the film demonstrated, or failed to demonstrate, good critical-thinking skills. Identifying good role models in your life can help you come up with a picture of the person you would like to be. Think of a person, real or fictional, who exemplifies good critical-thinking skills. Make a list of some of the qualities of this person. Discuss how these qualities help the person in his or her everyday life. Adopt the stance of the Buddhist “beginner’s mind.” Be attentive only to what is happening in the present moment. After one minute, write down everything you observed going on around you as well as inside of you (your feelings, body language, and the like). Did you notice more than you might have otherwise? Share your observations with the class. Discuss ways in which this practice of being more attentive to what is going on might enhance your effectiveness as a critical thinker. Working in groups of four to six students, select an issue about which the group is evenly divided into positions for or against it. Each side should adopt a stance of belief and open-mindedness when listening to the other side’s position. After the pro side presents its views for two minutes, the anti side takes one minute to repeat back the pro’s views without interjecting its own doubts. Repeat the process with the anti side presenting its views. Discuss as a class how this exercise helped you to suspend your biases and to actively listen to views that diverge from your own. Referring to the previous Self-Evaluation Questionnaire in Think Tank, share your strengths and weaknesses as well as your plans for improving your critical-thinking skills with others, whether it be friends, family, or in class. Discuss steps you might take or have already taken to work toward or overcome some of your weaknesses.
