Critical Thinking and Diversity

Collating information, gathering intelligence, and synthesizing opinions and describing alternate ways of thinking is a definition of critical thinking. Having freedom means expressing thoughts that can be different from others and doing so free from harm or restriction. The point of diversity in the work place is only partly to provide opportunity to oppressed workers. Diversity is to count in different points of view and finding new solutions to challenges that the existing mindset might not ever notice as worthwhile or have the courage to do otherwise.

Soft on the Problem

Conformity and punishment leads criminal justice for adults. A jurisdiction applying corrections with intolerance and a lack of understanding is often unfair and is not always efficient to strengthening progress. Utilizing my elected school board wishes as an official I spoke on the board against "behavior catches" in favor of character enhancing learning methods. Instead of so much tattle telling and making examples of unwanted behavior, we could reform people holistically with community supports.
