“Thinking in depth with valid and logical reasoning” is what critical thinking is about.

Fountainhead always takes care of the personal & professional development of their employees. Bhargavi Ma’am & Bhumit Sir as our facilitators for critical thinking gave us really good topics and keywords to have a lot of discussion on the first day of our life class. We got to learn about how actually critical thinking plays a major role in our lives. The questions asked by them as to how, when, where, why and what critical thinking is, the answers were within us only, we just did not know to apply them.

Now since that we have the basic & generalized knowledge about it, we can start thinking and taking decisions though critical thinking. Having group discussions is a plus point in these life classes because we get to know many other perspectives and opinions which might not happen to come in our minds.

Secondly the movie which we saw the other day “Oppenheimer” was a great movie and it truly had a lot of critical thinking involved in it. After doing life classes the movies which we watch makes a lot of sense as we see it from a different perspective. This movie showed how certain times we are bound to take decisions in pressure despite of our own self denying to take those decisions. Here the actor J. Robert Oppenheimer was very passionate about his work and when he found a path shown by his professors to turn his theories into implementing it practically by making a nuclear bomb, he achieved what he always imagined and dreamt of but knowing the consequences he was devastated internally by the thought of it. But since it was for his country he could not put a foot backward, as his superiors didn’t allow him to. Moral ethics of the actor was clearly shown in the movie, but certain times despite of critically thinking about the situation he could not do justice with his moral ethics. The movie had a lot of political & government involvement in the making of the nuclear bomb.

Also when it comes to duty towards country and law, one has to go with the duty ethics. The movie was worth a watch and made us also think how thinking critically is applied when taking any kinds of important decisions of life.

At first when we started with this life class I thought It’s not going to be interesting at all as the name itself is too heavy. But as and when we progressed further it was quite interesting to understand how a small thing can be seen from varied perspective when we evaluate it critically. The documentaries that we saw the different articles about biases and social taboo that we read and discussed about was alarming and eye opener.

I would really like to Thank all the 6 facilitator for sharing interesting engagements with us as well as sharing their life experiences to make us understand the topic better.

I don’t know how much I will be able to remember all the terms that we have learnt in these sessions but I will surely try to evaluate things with different lenses.

Critical Thinking अंतिम अध्याय

आज का Critical thinking का विषय बहुत ही क्लिष्ट था | धर्म, आत्मा, मोक्ष, प्रार्थना,ईश्वर ………ये विषय ही ऐसे हैं , जितना सोचेंगे अर्थ गहन बनते जाएँगे |

मुझे जो महाभारत में धर्म की परिभाषा मिली वो बेहद सटीक लगी |

स्वकर्मनिरतो यस्तु धर्म: स इति निश्चय:।[3] अपने कर्म में लगे रहना निश्चय ही धर्म है।

कोई धर्म गलत नहीं है , मानवता श्रेष्ठ धर्म है ,उसका सही आचरण ही धर्म है |

इसलिए critical thinking अपने निजी जीवन में अपनाते समय थोड़ी कठिनाइयाँ जरूर आएगी, पर इसका इस्तेमाल कर के क्या सही और क्या गलत इसका उचित फैसला निश्चित ही कर सकते हैं |

“ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र … ”

अध्याय समाप्त !!

Critical thinking

यह सफ़र शुरु होते – होते अब अंतिम किनारे कब आ पहुँचा  पता भी नहीं चला |

बहुत सारा रिसर्च किया , अपने अनुभव ,गलतियाँ बे झिझक बताई | समस्याओं को अलग नजरियें से देखना सीखा | सिखने के लिए बहुत कुछ हैं बस हमारी सिखने की अभिलाषा होनी चाहिए | मनुष्य समाज का अहं हिस्सा है | सामाजिक जीवन में जो घटनाएँ चल रही है या होगी उसका कहीं न कहीं असर तो होता ही हैं | इस Critical thinking से मुझे जो लाभ मिला हैं ,उसके कारण मैं जागरुक एवं सतर्क रहकर सभी पहलूओं को जाँचें बिना कोई विधान नहीं करूँगी ऐसा दृढ़ निश्चय मैं कर पाई | इस Life class के कारण जिनके साथ कभी कार्य नहीं किए थे उनके साथ रुबरु चर्चा करने का एक सुनहरा मौका मिला |

अमन सर और श्रद्धा महोदया जी ने बहुत ही अच्छे से इसका संकलन किया | जरुरत के अनुसार अपने अनुभव भी हमसे साँझा किए |
