Coming into this class I didn't know what to expect. I struggled in debates and discussion that were held in and outside of school. But after taking this class I found it easier for me to rebuttal against what other people are arguing about. I have learned to further expand my thoughts about the subjects. There are certain ways to convey your point or lure people into thinking what your stating is plausible or a reasonable explanation. I learned to communicate my thoughts clearly to other people by reading, understanding and placing the concepts in class into real life scenarios. With learning the critical thinking concepts I was able to figure out what certain advertisements and political figures are using to attract more consumers/ followers.

Now, every time I watch a commercial about something I'll connect it to one of the many fallacies that we have learned about. Most advertisements or commercials now-a-days use appeal to emotion. There were more things that I have learned from this class that I have started to use in everyday life. Critical thinking and expanding the thought of certain things has made me become a better writer.
