User: what is the imoortance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluation historical events such as the bosten tea party

Weegy: Here are a few quick tips: Little Details Matter Pay attention to words like ?may?, ?can?, and ?will?. There?s a huge difference between something that will [insert marvelous benefit here] and something that might do the same. [ [ Never accept anything at face value. Question the Authorities If a piece of content quotes an expert to help support the argument or conclusion, ask questions. What qualifies the individual to give advice? What credentials does the person have to make claims? Why is he or she an authority on the subject? Sweeping Away Statements Over-generalization usually discredits an argument?s validity from the get-go. Knock down sentences that use words like ?all? and ?everyone?. Not all people do, and not everyone knows. More careful wording such as ?most? and ?some? pass muster more easily. Scarecrows and Straw Men Watch out for fallacies. Fallacies are the tricky smoke and mirrors that divert attention from true critical thinking. There are a ton of fallacies, all built to deflect, detract, divert and discredit arguments without really doing so. Let Down Your Guard One of the biggest obstacles to creative thinking is bias, also the enemy of critical thinking. Your values, emotions, desires and experiences influence your beliefs and your ability to have an open mind. Set them aside and take the time to ponder information you receive wholeheartedly. ] ]
