The sayiing "Common sense is not common" is becoming more interesting by the moment.
"Google it" and you will find the answer! All of this is not so easy and it is so important for students to try and find the Do's and Dont's, the who, what, where and why to different case studies or life experiences. we are rapidly moving away from creativity and the idea of employees being problem solvers and solution oriented. I truly hope to make my classes more challenging in this sense.
I found the statement of 300 people being in control of 80%what we see and hear on television is profound. Critical thinking should be taught from day one, which it is not and too many rely on the first thing they see on the internet which is absolutley wrong.
think about this in the culinary field: Am I going to a blog for a recipe because it sounds great and looks good? or Am to go to a trusted site that is known for its Recipe testing, Authenticity which may not be exactly what I was looking for but still much better than the other option that could easily be from someone with no professional knowledge.
