Learned Lessons

Over the course of the semester, we as a class went over many topics. One of the things that I learned is to be a better critical thinker. This course allowed us to digest the different techniques to go about discussing critical topics, especially those that we are faced with nowadays. What stuck out to me the most that I learned is the impact of the social media to all of us. I always have had some understanding of it, but the course reminded me of how it truly affects us and how we should handle them being the critical thinkers that we are. Since the social media is one of the strongest influences we have, we need to be aware of how to handle them the right way. Another topic is studying the validity of an argument. I think that arguing, or defending your stance, is always a part of our everyday lives. Sometimes it may be a casual argument among you and your friends, but other times it could be a little more serious, such as arguing your point with your boss or co-workers to try to prove that you are suitable for your job. I think that we learned a lot of valuable information in this course and we should all put it to use to be the best version of critical thinkers that we can be.
