Sally Ride is a very intelligent woman who knows how to
think critically. Achieving the title of the first and youngest American woman
in space is not something that anybody can do. The ability to think critically
is something that can get somebody farther in life than those who cannot. I
believe that Sally Ride is a critical thinker. The first reason I believe she
is a critical thinker is because she loved to solve problems as a child. This
is one of the characteristics of somebody who is a critical thinker. Being able
to solve problems and in a creative way helps you think critically. Ride was
also described as being “calm and totally focused” in college, this is another characteristic
of a critical thinker. Open-mindedness is important when describing a critical
thinker. Having an open mind allows a critical thinker to make a decision on
fact and evidence rather than just their personal beliefs. Critical thinking is
something that can take you far in life and we all should work towards becoming
a better critical thinker.
I agree, I don't think that everyone have to ability to think critically. However, I believe that it is something that everyone can develop. I also agree that being open minded is necessary in order to be a good critical thinker. Looking at Sally Ride, it shows that having these qualities of a good critical thinker can get you very far in life. Especially in college, i think it is very important for all students to think critically and be open minded. If not, then there will be no room for growth. That way it we can look at situations in different perspectives, which will help us better understand any situation.
