Using Principles of Critical Thinking
We are inundated with information and, understandably, distrustful of most of it. Too many reports and proposals make invalid or unreliable claims about key problems and suggest impractical approaches to solving them. Such practices are not surprising, considering critical thinking is so marginalized in a fast-paced, bottom-line, short-sighted work world. Using Principles of Critical Thinking addresses this problem, which can cost companies a fortune. This webinar mines the fields of science, medicine, law, politics, philosophy, literature, education, and business to give you workable communication models that will expand your intellectual toolbox. For all teaching points, the speaker provides practical examples to help you execute them at work. Part 1 of this webinar, “Substance and Structure,” addresses issues of valid and reliable content as well as structure. Part 2, “Reasoning and Refuting,” uncovers universally accepted ways of arguing from either side of a position. You will leave Using Principles of Critical Thinking knowing that your education was worth getting.
