Learning to Think Things Through by Gerald Nosich

The essay will focus on the Critical Thinking Character Traits found on page 175-176 in Learning to Think Things Through by Gerald Nosich. In an essay of at least 800 words, you should argue which one of the traits you believe to be most vital to an individual living in our current society. Your support should clearly explain why you believe this to be the most necessary or valuable trait. In your concession/refutation you might concede that another of the traits might seem as important, but you have found it less important than the one you have chosen and can explain why. You may use Harry Beckwith’s points about human behavior to support your ideas. Additionally you will certainly make use of your own life and experiences, positive and negative, to explain why this particular trait is so important to the success of our current way of life. In this essay, demonstrate that you are using your skills as a critical reader, thinker and writer. All source material that you use must be documented using MLA documentation style and be included on a Works Cited page.
