Here's a question for you.  What might our country/world look like if we had more critical thinkers?  Though I think that William Graham Sumner's statement on the, "Envisioning critical societies" page in your critical thinking booklet is a good start, I think it is much bigger than that!

After thoroughly and thoughtfully reading the aforementioned page in the critical thinking booklet, consider and share with us what our country and world might look like if we collectively were better critical thinkers?  Then ask yourself an even more important question:  "What would I look like if I enhanced the way I think and became a better critical thinker?"

The purpose of this assignment is to apply knowledge of how the earth functions climatically ACCORDING to recent media coverage regarding climate change. It matters not whether you believe in climate change at the hands of humans. Just exploring ways in which to apply your learning and to recognize bias in sources.
