Critical Thinking--When Is It Going To Be Used?
#3
RE: Critical Thinking--When Is It Going To Be Used?
Based on the concept of ' Privacy ' I would like not to mention their names or identities. Based on the concept of ' Tolerance ' I did not question their beliefs. However, what I attempted to do was tell them
how I understand the meaning of life. I told them that my ' religion ' is ' the student '. When someone asks me what language do I speak, I answer the same way. I speak ' student '. I speak in favor of the student, no matter what religion, philosophy, or background she/he has. For students will be the future judges of what we do now. I am leading by example by motivating them to ' think critically '. I sometimes play the movie ' Inherit The Wind ' with Spencer Tracy. I do not say anything after showing the movie. If necessary, I show the documentary ' Jesus Camp '. After that I still don't say anything. I let them ponder the meaning by themselves. I intend on making a documentary on the part of Plato's life that dealt with his title as the first college administrator in the world, since he created the first college called ' The Academy '. I believe that if one does not mention ' religion ' or ' ethics ' with other people and discuss ' critically thought out conversations about relevant topics ', then people will also not have a chance to quote religious references.
