The purpose of this assignment is to enhance your critical thinking skills through a "mini" writing assignment.

What is critical thinking? It is the ability to think rationally and clearly, understanding the logical connection between concepts and ideas. It requires you to be an active learner rather than just a passive recipient of knowledge and information. Critical thinking is a way of thinking about specific things at a specific time. It is not just the accumulation and recollection of facts that you can use in the same format down the line as you would with a grammar or multiplication table learned in elementary school. Critical thinking is an adaptive skillset that helps enable a way of thinking about the issue/argument to arrive at the best possible conclusion/solution.

TASK:

You must write an original post of at least 250 words showing your critical analysis of the problem or issue presented. This is free writing, but your writing must be professional, and you are still required to properly use and cite at least 2 external sources in APA format and style (the textbook may count as one external source). After all, you cannot truly think critically without understanding the issue, and you cannot understand the issue without first gathering (accurate) information about it. Additionally, you are required to respond to at least 1 other student's "mini" by providing constructive feedback in a respectful and professional manner.
