ThinkingCritically and Creatively

Dwi Korina Relawati, MA

Page 9: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Page 10: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Critical thinking is needed to solve the complex problems in the world today.

Page 11: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

For example:“Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one’s own need to think.”

--Adolph Eichman who played a central rolein the killing of six million Jews

Page 12: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Fallacies in Reasoning

Patterns of incorrect reasoning

Page 13: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to A Questionable Authority Example: Using sports figures to

endorse products

Page 14: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Jumping to Conclusions

A hasty generalization Example: One college student does not

pay back a loan. The bank manager concludes that students are poor risks for loans.

Page 15: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Making Generalizations

Assume all members of the group are the same

Example: All lawyers are greedy.

Page 16: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Attacking the Person

We attack the person rather than discussing the issue

Example: Attacking the President to sidetrack the issues

Page 17: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Common Belief

Just because it is common belief does not make it true

Example: At one time people believed that the world was flat

Page 18: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Common Practice

If everyone does it, it must be OK Example: It’s OK to cheat on your taxes.

Everyone else does.

Page 19: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Tradition

We’ve always done it that way Example: Some jobs are only for men

and others only for women

Page 20: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Two Wrongs It is OK to do something wrong because

other people do it Example: Someone cuts you off on the

freeway so you pull in front and cut them off

Page 21: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Slippery Slope

Dire consequences Example: If you fail this class, you are a

failure for life

Page 22: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Wishful Thinking

An extremely positive outcome is proposed to distract from logic

Example: Get rich quick schemes

Page 23: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Beware of Scams

It’s too good to be true There is a rush to make a decision You have to pay money or give your

credit card number High pressure, time limits Prizes and big promises The word “free”

Page 24: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Critical Thinking Over the Internet Beware of appearances. What is the source? Why was the information posted? What is the date of the Web site? Can the information be verified

elsewhere?

Page 25: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Fear or Scare Tactics Emotions interfere with rational thinking Example: Political advertisements that

describe dire consequences

Page 26: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Pity

Again, emotions replace logic Example: Sob story

Page 27: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Loyalty

Group behavior, right or wrong Example: Voting for the candidate who

appears most popular

Page 28: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Prejudice

A stereotype in which all members of a group are judged to be the same

Example: Racial prejudices

Page 29: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Appeal to Vanity

Making compliments Example: “Apple polishing”

Page 30: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Post Hoc Reasoning or False Causes Cause and effect are not related Example: Superstitions

Page 31: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Straw Men or Women Create an image of someone

else, like a scarecrow, to discredit the person

Example: Political speeches which paint the opponent in an unfavorable light

Page 32: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Cult Behavior

Beliefs for which hard evidence is lacking

Example: Cults such as Heaven’s Gate The opposite of critical thinking Blindly following a charismatic leader Belonging to a group

Keys to Success:Learn to Laugh at Life

Page 70: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

Have a laugh at life and look around for happiness instead of sadness.

--Red Skelton

Page 71: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

The physical act of smiling makes you feel happier.

Page 72: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

If you do not feel happy, smile and pretend to be happy. Smiling produces seratonin which is a

neurotransmitter linked with feelings of happiness

Page 73: CRAETIVE THINKING - Creative Thinking (7)

So, smile and be happy. Use your creativity to make some positive changes in your life.
