Critical thinking is "a process which stresses an attitude of suspended judgment, incorporates logical inquiry and problem solving, and leads to an evaluative decision or action."
NCTE Committee on Critical Thinking and the Language Arts.

In most people’s research hypertext they are discussing different problems that exist in low wage labor by addressing different low wage jobs. In all of the different ideas that are presented on how to fix certain issues, there has been a great deal of problem solving in order to try and determine what the best solution is for the problem. It is my job in making the hypertext to try and eliminate some of the ideas that won’t work in fixing this issue.

Critical thinking is "the examination and testing of suggested solutions to see whether they will work."
Lindzey, Hall, and Thompson, 1978.

In doing the research hypertext, through all of the research that I have conducted there have been many different things suggested for how to solve different issues. My topic involved illegal immigrants in the landscaping industry and there are many differing opinions on what to do about the immigration issue. However through my research many times it seems as though there are problems with all of the different theories, which is why many of them haven’t been implemented by the government.

Critical thinking is careful and deliberate determination of whether to accept, reject, or suspend judgment.
Moore and Parker, 1994.

This quote makes me think about the conversation that we had in class about objectivity and whether or not it is obtainable. While doing the research hypertext about living the low wage life it makes me think about how these people are so unfortunate and that there are so many problems in so many different areas. However, while doing all of the hypertexts it is important to remember to stay as objective as possible when presenting the facts so that I Remain as objective as possible when making my websites.
