In your own words, describe what critical thinking involves.
Discuss a time in your work life when you needed to use critical thinking. How would you show a potential employer that you have solid critical thinking skills?
Find a resource online that helps people increase critical thinking skills, share it here, and give a brief description for your classmates.

Please look at the life of Socrates, and post something on what is known as Socratic wisdom and the Socratic method. Socrates is widely recognized as one of the founders of Western thought. I would appreciate your thoughts not only on his wisdom and methodology but also on the death of Socrates.  Please do this and, remember, this extra credit question is worth an additional five points. I look forward to your substantial comments on a minimum of 75 words.
