I am going over critical thinking guidelines in class and want to present examples of emotional reasoning. I want to help the students realize that the passion for a claim or issue is not the key problem, but rather the emotionalism that often directs/distorts one's further examination. Can tipsters see or develop other examples of where emotionalism is a problem in problem-solving, investigation? Emotional reactions or defensiveness can often be the culprit in closing off discussion or hinder openness eh? I am trying to find examples that would help students make the distinction here. Appreciate any ideas. Gary Gerald L. (Gary) Peterson, Ph.D. Professor, Psychology Saginaw Valley State University University Center, MI 48710 989-964-4491 [email protected]
