Critical Thinking about Current Social Issues This new exercise provides a framework for using critical thinking to discuss current social issues. Here are the steps: 1. Read about the issue and discuss it with your group. Current social issues briefly described in the 9th Edition of College and Career Success include social inequality, income, and wealth; equality for women; Black Lives Matter;Native Americans and Christopher Columbus; and the Southwest Border and Immigration. 2. In your discussion with others, did you discover any fallacies in reasoning or cognitive biases? If so, what were they? 3. After listening to the group discussion, describe a point of view that is different from your own ideas. 4. Describe the values held by people who hold a different point of view. What is important to them? 5. After discussing the issues and looking at different points of view, did you discover some new ideas that are worth considering? What is your reasonable point of view based on looking at different perspectives. How does your point of view match your values? See the classroom handout: Critical Thinking about Current Social Issues. One Minute Paper Challenge your students to do free writing on a topic for just one minute. This exercise could be used as a summary of the critical thinking exercise above. Here are some ideas for writing prompts: After one minute, ask student to underline their most important sentence. Ask for 5 volunteers to share their most important idea. The Diversity Poster Ask students to create a poster showing their culture, language, hobbies, interests, or values. Students can also be asked to create a family tree that shows their ethnic or cultural background. Have students speak about their poster for about 2 minutes. Request that students to use positive thinking and take pride in their diverse backgrounds. I ask students not to have any pictures or references to drugs, alcohol, violence, or guns. Pictures should be in good taste. They should not have pictures of nude women or men, for example. Another variation is to have students bring a paper bag with items that represent who they are. They can take the items out of the bag and state why they are important. This exercise is done toward the end of the semester and students are invited to participate in an ethnic potluck lunch during class. Here are some ideas for what to include on the poster: Where were your parents and grandparents born? Find Someone Who . . . This exercise can be used to introduce the topic of diversity. It gets students out of their seats and talking to others about what they have in common. Find Someone Who Exercise
