    Uploaded by

    Bakchodi Nhi
    This document discusses critical thinking and includes several examples. It begins with an optical illusion asking the reader "Which way is the dancer spinning?" and a test asking the reader to find a hidden man in an image and time themselves. It then shares statistics on brain development based on time to find the man. It discusses a famous 1994 photo by Kevin Carter of a starving child in Sudan approaching a food camp while being stalked by a vulture. It notes the child and photographer's fate. It includes excerpts from Carter's diary reflecting on the photo. It ends by defining critical thinking and the importance of exercising the brain through thinking.

    THE SPINNING DANCER- WHICH WAY IS IT?
    FIND THE MAN – TIME YOURSELF
    SOME STATISTICS
    • According to a medical research:
    1. If you find the man in less than 3 seconds, your
    brain is developed above the normal brain
    2. If you find it in a minute, you have a normal
    developed brain
    3. If you find it in between 1 and 3 minutes, your
    brain is responding slowly
    4. If it takes more than 3 minutes, your brain is
    responding too slow and perhaps more exercise

    PULITZER PRIZE 1994


    DURING SUDAN FAMINE
    •That picture depicts
    a child crawling
    towards a UN food
    camp located a
    kilometer away
    •The vulture is
    waiting for the child
    to die so that it can
    KEVIN CARTER eat it
    39
    IT DOESN’T END HERE…

    • No one knows what happened to


    the child, including the
    photographer Kevin Carter who
    left the place as soon as the
    photograph was taken
    • Three months later Kevin Carter
    committed a suicide due to
    depression
    IT DOESN’T END HERE ALSO…
    KEVIN’S DIARY-1
    • Dear God,
    I promise I will never waste my food no
    matter how bad it can taste and how full
    I may be. I pray that He will protect this
    little boy, guide and deliver him away
    from his misery. I pray that we will be
    more sensitive towards the world
    around us and not be blinded by our
    own selfish nature and interests.
    IT DOESN’T END HERE ALSO…
    KEVIN’S DIARY-2
    I hope this picture will always serve as a
    reminder to us that how fortunate we are
    and that we must never ever take things
    for granted.
    Let's make a prayer and think & look at this
    when you complain about your food and
    the food we wasted daily.
    MAKE YOUR PROMISE TODAY
    "I WILL NEVER WASTE MY FOOD"
    Critical Thinking
    •Sitting on top of your shoulders
    is one of the finest computers
    on the earth.
    •But, like any other muscle in
    your body, it needs to be
    exercised to work at its best.
    •That exercise is called
    I think, therefore I am.
    THINKING. - Rene Descartes

    What is critical thinking?
     Commonly called “problem solving” or “Critical
    Reasoning”
     Looking for what is implied in a question rather than
    what is stated.
     Not being content with the first solution to a problem,
    but thinking more deeply about it for a better solution.
     Knowing, understanding, analyzing, synthesizing,
    applying and evaluating the idea or problem.
     Not letting reason to be clouded by emotion.
     Applying the rules of logic to problem solving.
    Thank you
