Critical
Thinking Evaluation
Throughout this field
day assignment I conducted a total of 2 interviews one with a random Moorpark
College participant Melissa and another random, my younger sibling Kianna;
featuring Mario (the boyfriend) who unknowingly made a special appearance. I
realized separately unique characteristics from both interviews. Unfortunately
my sister, who was a bit preoccupied the time had to be the furthest away from
a critical thinker as you could possibly get. She was busy, I’ll give her that,
however that doesn’t take away from the fact that through out her interview she
was dismissive and didn’t truly hold down a strong opinion regarding gun
control. Contradicting herself a numerous amount of times and unwilling to
understand other ideas and contrary beliefs she came off very defensive and
impatient basing a lot of her ideas on personal preference and emotion. Giving
her an official rating of 3 out of 10, 10 being the highest.
On the other hand I have concluded that my first interviewer at Moorpark
College Melissa contributed more established attributes of a critical thinker,
but I would not categorize her as one. Both participants agreed that 25 was a
suitable age to hold carry a weapon, however Melissa was a bit more optimistic
about opposing views but still lenient about people owning gun if they were
fully informed such as the military or police officers. Overall the greatest
thing I took away from this interview is that to be a critical thinker you must
know the subject and if not acknowledge it, make a decision about where you
stand on the issue, but mostly importantly out of all things combined you must
strive to understand and listen.
