Can anyone help me answer this psychology question?
« on: August 09, 2010, 03:49:55 AM »
Here goes the question.


       In one sentence, show how each skill exhibited by a critical thinker might be used by a "woman who was trying to decide whether to begin hormone therapy once she was past menopause."

  To help answer this question, below are the 4 skills exhibited by a critical thinker. But in one sentence, show how each skill might be used by the above question.

a)  They apply the rules of formal and informal logic ( e.g if most people disapprove of sex sites on the world wide web, then why are there sites so popular)

B) They think effectively in terms of probabilities ( e.g what is the likelihood of being able to predict who will commit a voilent crime?

c)They carefully evaluate the quality of information (  e.g can i trust the claim made by this plitician)

D) They analyze arguments for the soundness of the conclutions ( e.g Does the rise in drug use mean that a stricter drug policy is needed?)


    Thanks in advance for your time.
