One's Opinion

One's Opinion

I believe the nature of logic is a very delicate subject. A person's logic may very well be different from another person's thinking. Therefore, one person's opinion may hurt another individual's feelings if the judgment is taken incorrectly. This is where critical thinking comes to play. What most people should do is think before they speak. An individual should practice using critical thinking skills. As for critical thinking I believe there are different perspectives a person should take and practice. If an individual would just treat people as he or she would like to be treated than maybe the world would be a happier place. "The development of critical thinking skills and dispositions is a life-long endeavor" (Michael Scriven & Richard Paul). By people stopping and being more grateful with what they have then most people would take judgment in a whole different perspective.

There are many fortunate individuals in the world today and some not so fortunate. Then there are people like me who are grateful for what they have. Take for instance my supervisor Scott. He is married to a attractive, petite, blonde Caucasian woman and has no children. Scott and his wife live in a huge two story home with a pool and both have up-to-date luxury vehicles. They both have good jobs with exceptional pay. Now, some people with this type of life style that my supervisor is living would label the style as very fortunate. At times I would too but at times I would not because I love having a family. Some people even envy Scott's life. As any other day of the work week it was time for my lunch hour. So I went to lunch and as I was returning by pulling up to the employee parking lot I saw my supervisor and a couple of my fellow employees walking towards one of vehicles. Scott and the other employees acknowledged me and I waved back. As Scott's lunch hour came to an end he walked through the front office doors with a puzzled look on his face. He then opened his office and turned around. He then said he had seen me coming back from lunch and noticed the car I was driving. Scott followed by stating he would have never pictured me in that kind of car; that car just does not fit your personality. Scott then said that he pictured me in a more luxury car. From Scott's statement I felt as if I was being picked on for being less fortanute than he. I took the comment as inappropriate especially since he had a weird look on his face. I felt as he did not feel my car was worthy of having
