Task 2: Reflective Tasks from the book by Stella Cottrell (2005), Critical Thinking Skills

Reflective Task 1: Emotional self-management. For me, the emotions that more difficult to manage when others disagree with me are: I think that the emotions most difficult to manage when some disagree with me are, frustration because I want to convinced that person that what I’m saying it is true, even when I give real facts. Another emotion it is kind of anger because people that do not believe me or in what I’m saying are annoyed, for me, and that becomes into a feeling of anger in me. I deal with this by: Trying to keep calm and controlling my thoughts because sometimes I tend to be a bit of aggressive in terms of vocabulary. So, what I try to do is to keep calm and look at the other person's perspectives or point of views and see if what they are saying is valid based on the reasons, they give me. As Cottrell, S.

Task 6: Critical commentary of the lecture "Where is the Outrage? Critical Pedagogy in Dark Times" by Dr. Henry Giroux

Where is the Outrage? Critical Pedagogies in Dark Times . Personally, I want to address how very eye-opening was listening to this lecture because it gave me reasons that made me question the way I am teaching the classes at school where I work and the way I was taught back during my school years. How the education I received at school was in a very similar to the one that Dr. Giroux explained how education is conceived nowadays. He stated that education has become a pathway to the job and that schools have become training centers that measure the knowledge through a metric system. Rather than studying to find a job, it is crucial to understand and overcome the crisis that the country is immersed in. But, to reach this understanding it is necessary to engage students critically in attempts to solve these problems that affect our reality. During the years of school and high school, I never had a teacher that addressed these kinds of situations like poverty, corruption, globa...
