• Gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; • Thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and • Assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and • Communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and selfcorrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism. - Richard Paul and Linda Elder: <strong>The</strong> Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools Foundation for Critical Thinking Press, 2008 Critical Thinking Defined by Edward Glaser In a seminal study on critical thinking and education in 1941, Edward Glaser defines critical thinking as follows “<strong>The</strong> ability to think critically, as conceived in this volume, involves three things: 1. An attitude of being disposed to consider in a thoughtful way the problems and subjects that come within the range of one's experiences; 2. Knowledge of the methods of logical inquiry and reasoning; and 3. Some skill in applying those methods. Critical thinking calls for a persistent effort to examine any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the evidence that supports it and the further conclusions to which it tends. It also generally requires ability to recognize problems, to find workable means for meeting those problems, to gather and marshal pertinent information, to recognize unstated assumptions and values, to comprehend and use language with accuracy, clarity, and discrimination, to interpret data, to appraise evidence and evaluate arguments, to recognize the existence (or non-existence) of logical relationships between propositions, to draw warranted conclusions and generalizations, to put to test the conclusions and generalizations at which one arrives, to reconstruct Page 40 of 97
one's patterns of beliefs on the basis of wider experience, and to render accurate judgments about specific things and qualities in everyday life. - Edward M. Glaser, An Experiment in the Development of Critical Thinking, Teacher’s College, Columbia University, 1941) ________ Inner-Cities Strategic Revitalization Planning Revitalization Neighborhood Revitalization starts at the grassroots level — with people in the community determining the goals for their neighborhood. ______ It is defined as the process of making something grow, develop, or become successful again (e.g. A new indoor sports arena has played a key role in the revitalization of its neighborhood). - Cambridge Dictionaries Online “Neighborhood Revitalization is the way of the future and is an essential element of [our] work. By focusing on entire neighborhoods, we can greatly increase our impact.” — Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity International Revitalization of Our Inner-Cities Can Transform Our Culture - by Scruffus “It is only when the basic needs are met that culture can thrive. Revitalization of our inner-cities is the innovation that will allow for maximum cultural growth in this country. Making sure that all Americans have access to opportunity and technology will ensure future generations of city dwellers do not live in poverty. By investing in these areas, developers and businesses are investing in the base of this country. Music, art and the sciences require a healthy, vibrant, and supportive community and the work being done to rebuild our inner cities is essential to our culture[s] as a whole.” Page 41 of 97
