And Then Some News

Thursday’s essay, “An analytical approach yields confidence and satisfaction ” is written to not only show the influence that critical and analytical thinking can have in our society but, too, how they overshadow the effect of subjective, random, or commonplace thinking. People today — because of their conditioning — will almost always prefer simple observations and anecdotal evidence, and that presents a significant problem. It is that “problem” that Thursday’s essay confronts and discusses.

An analytical approach yields confidence and satisfaction
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
When you meet people who have some training in critical and analytical thinking or who are naturally adept, you will detect it in the rigor they use in approaching new situations, the precision they demonstrate in expressing their viewpoints, their judicious selection of supporting evidence, the way they present well-thought through arguments, and clearly balance differing points of view. All of these reflect good critical and analytical thinking, and they can be detected in interview situations when interviewees are asked how they would make decisions or resolve problems in totally new circumstances or unfamiliar situations.
