The specific are of a life that I raised in my post was that
“I like to think positive, and at times, I do not see the negative aspect of some situations. My relationship with my family and the people I contact every day could be better with critical thinking. I can see that people are different, and they behave based on their personalities and experiences. Their circumstances can impact how they treat others. I am a born again Christian, and my faith teaches me to love and forgive others, however, may not have to reach the level of belief and empathy that some other people have. I realized so many people are so selfish, and I want to understand other people’s viewpoints, but I understand now that I was thinking very harshly.”
I learned about premised, which supports another claim called the conclusion of the argument and how to construct the right premises. I learned about several possible explanations, which are the Occam’s Razor. The ability to think logically and build good arguments will empower me to deal with people worldwide. I will have a better understanding of their point of view, which will make me more approachable. I can be a great advocate for special needs children and adults and protect them, and others will treat them better. They will include them more in their circle and not be quick to judge them. As far as the special needs children and adults, I will see the explanations for most of their behaviors. I will be able to make better choices on who to have in my circle. I will notice the different fallacies and appeals of authority.

My research will present strong arguments from all sides, which will help me show my logical mindset. I do understand when the cases are liable and cogent; it is because of strong evidence that came from scholarly sources. I will keep in mind that some discussions may appeal to fear, pity, guilt trip, and scapegoating. I would also be aware of cases of envy can be similar to jealousy. Several points of view can help me see that others have done their research to demonstrate their arguments. I would tell people to keep a pliable mindset, helping them see and understand others’ sides. They also need to see if the idea is valid and liable.
