Overall, this class has taught me a lot of concepts of
critical thinking that I never knew of before. For an example, one of the
concepts that stuck out to me would have to be the false memories in which
leads to invalid decision making. This was the most useful to me because I can
relate to this type of fallacy. There are often times where I have recalled
memories but second guess whether or not this incident really happened. There
are also a lot of barriers we have as humans in the process of decision-making
such as, narrow-mindedness, and rationalization and double think, cognitive and
social dissonance and stress. These particular barriers made me realize that
this world are full of people who usually let these factors get in the way of
their critical thinking. There are many people out there in society who refuses
to change their beliefs or in other words, to be more open minded of accepting
certain social issues. Nonetheless, this class has taught me to improve my
critical thinking skills by teaching me the essentials of cognitive
development.
