Question ad Investigate
How did you tell the difference between facts and interpretations, opinions and judgments?
I was able to tell the difference by looking at how the information is worded. For example, if it says “I think that…” then its obviously an opinion, judgment or interpretations. Even if its not worded like that I can use my critical thinking skills to determine whether or not its a fact or opinion. For example, if it says “e.g: Donald Trump is a bad president” then I know that its an opinion because a person would have to justify his opinion through reasoning. On the other hand, if its a fact then I could look further into it by doing a bit of research through other sources. Or I could simply use critical thinking through logic and reasoning, for example if a it says “e.g: the sun is a star” then I would know its a fact.
Analyze and Critique
How did you analyze evidence from different perspectives?
I was able to analyze evidence from different perspectives by analyzing and critiquing the evidence from different perspectives. I did this by putting myself in other people’s shoes and trying to see what they would think of the evidence from their perspective. For example, if a person said “boys are better than girls” then from a boy’s perspective they would agree however a girl wouldn’t. Therefore, in order to analyze evidence from different perspectives I would have to analyze the evidence from a different point of view.
