“Workers should think about this:”
Indeed.
But, critical thinking has been deprogrammed by our pubic school teachers, for many decades now.
Blacks should think about this:
Women should think about this:
College students should think about this.
Corporate leaders should think about this:
Single moms should think about this:
Censors should think about this:
Homosexuals should think about this:
Millennials should think about this:
Had those people been actually thinking, America would’t be so royally f’d up.
“But, critical thinking has been deprogrammed by our pubic school teachers, for many decades now.”
I think that mass, large group schooling itself contributes to the lack of critical thinking in our society. Our family home-schooled for many years and we all think much more independently than everyone we know whose children attended schools, and this includes their parents. They became part of the “group” and tended to think the same as the group. When our children did the obligatory testing for home-school students I was asked how they had such great critical thinking scores. I attributed that to more reading, actual “doing”, (life activities) and almost no television or computer for years.
