Critical Thinking - Assignment #4 - Critical Thinking Quiz

[MarcArthur St. Juste]

I scored significantly less this time around (20/30).  Part of what contributed to this is my "second-guessing" and "over-thinking" the answers. A great deal of my time was spent thinking about how I'm thinking about this question...lol. By the time I got to the question, I chose what appeared "less biased" in my thinking?  But now I realized that that's even more biased.  In addition, I also recognized that not all bias is bad. Some actually helped me think critically based on experience.  I plan on retesting myself again to "redeem" myself but I didn't to give myself a moment to sit with my results and question why the numbers 20/30 mattered so much to me.  A great deal of self-judgment and the need to be "RIGHT" came into play which on an extreme POV makes me similar to those who choose a punitive system to fighting crime vs. a rehabilitative one.  "HOW SO, MARCARTHUR? HOW DID YOU COME TO SUCH A CONCLUSION?"  Honestly, I'm so glad you asked. You see, those who seek punitive system often feel there needs to be retribution and falls into what's RIGHT and WARRANTED because of WHAT WAS WRONG and OFFENSIVE. I capitalized these terms intentionally (any triggers?) *Smile*  Those seeking Rehabilitation I have found don't look for the right and wrong but are more focused on the WHY a crime was committed and WHY an individual felt they had to resort to that crime and HOW said individual can recover and reintegrate back in to society and not be judged on their past action but on how they contribute to society moving forward.  

Yes, I got all of that from sitting with my 20/30 result. *deep sigh* 

Okay. I think I'll go retest now.  

Thank you for your thoughts and feedback.
