Neurophysiologist research suggests that human thinking has two distinct phases which are complementary in making decisions or solving problems. The first, or production phase, is associated with our creative thinking- seeing the familiar in a novel way, generating a variety of ideas, and a willingness to take imaginative risks; the second, or judgment phase, kicks in our critical thinking, as the mind goes to work evaluating, distinguishing fact and evidence from sense impression, and running the tests of logic to apply what has been produced (Ruggiero, 2009, pp. 7-8). [Chapter 1: ―The Brain & Mind at Work‖]
Both phases of thinking can be discerned in almost any invention that marks modern life. Chester Carlson’s invention of Xerography (the Xerox Machine) in 1938 has had as much impact as any invention we could name. Do some research on his invention. A good article is found on the Great Idea Finder website [www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/xerography.htm], or listen to the NPR program ―Talk of the Nation, Science-Friday‖ (August 66, 2007), hosted by Mira Plato, who interviews David Owen- author of Copies in Seconds: Chester Carlson & the Birth of the Xerox Machine [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=3832375]. Another website that gives a helpful timeline is offered by the company that finally developed Carlson’s innovations: http://www.xerox.com/innovation/chester-carlsonxerography/enus.html.
In a Post of 200-250 words, respond to the following questions:
Describe the production and judgment phases that you discern in Carlson’s invention. What obstacles or hindrances did Carlson encounter as he creatively and critically worked on his new idea? Citing a recent problem you have solved (or issue you tackled), briefly describe these two phases of thinking in your problem-solving.

ebating moral questions is important as we seek to solve problems or face complex issues in life. Our text mentions four working principles, as we evaluate the obligations, ideals, consequences and circumstances in a situation (Ruggiero, 2009, pp. 41-42). [Chapter 2: ―The Basis of Moral Judgment‖] Select ONE of the cases included in our text on pages 46-47 [Application 2.6 at end of CH 2], using the following criteria: If your last name starts with A–J, you are assigned Case A. If your last name starts with K–R, you are assigned Case B. If your last name starts with S–Z, you are assigned Case C.
Read your case and respond to the following questions in a Post of 200-250 words, and then react to your classmates’ analysis and moral judgments:
2.1 Identify the important moral questions in your case. 2.2 Judge the morality or ethics of the action that was taken, or proposed (explain your thinking or reasoning carefully). 2.3 React to our author’s view of truth.

Some of the most innovative people were branded by their contemporaries as slow learners (Winston Churchill), clumsy (Martha Graham), stupid (Thomas Edison), or unimpressive (Albert Einstein). Yet these individuals persisted in developing their creative and critical thinking abilities, refusing to define themselves by other people’s assessments.
That process of being exposed to society- home, neighborhood, church, school, and so on, is called acculturation. The author of our text encourages us to examine the values and beliefs we have assumed to be true: ―Make your beliefs prove themselves, not on the basis of their familiarity or their compatibility with other ideas, but on their
reasonableness in light of the evidence‖ (Ruggiero, 2009, p. 54). [Chapter 3: ―Habits That Hinder Thinking‖]
The author goes on to define habits that hinder clear thinking, such as the ―Mine-is-Better‖ habit, Face Saving, Resistance to Change, Conformity, Stereotyping, and Self-deception. With these hindrances in mind, respond to the following questions in a Post of 250-300 words:
3.1 Which of these habits do you observe most in other people in your daily life, and how does it impact you? 3.2 If you had to identify and deal with one of these habits in yourself, which would you target? How do you think this affects other people? 3.3 How might perception differ from reality in either case?

Looking over a list of the world’s inventions is in itself a good reminder that we each ―stand on the shoulders‖ of those who have gone before us. It also brings to mind the fact that we take a lot for granted. Doing this exercise we may even come to think that all the world’s inventions are already here and in use. What an interesting creativity-blocker that could be! Then delving into the mind of any inventor exposes us to the very creative process itself, to the ways critical thinking shaped original ideas, and to the interesting steps that brought an innovative idea to market. Even the naming of an invention can in itself invite us into the creative process!
For this Discussion Question, you are invited to explore one of several websites that document the world’s great inventions, four of which are referenced below (holding the Ctrl Key & clicking on the Link should bring up the website). Select any 3 of your favorite inventions (A to Z), read up on the person or people behind it, the process that was used to create and develop it, and complete the attached ―Inventors Elements Matrix‖, with brief entries for each box on the table, as applicable. Note that the ―Stages in the Creative Process‖ are divided into two- the beginning and completion of that process. Try to add comments for each invention in each of those. After completing the Matrix, study it, and respond to this question in 100 to 150 words:
What do you learn about the Creative Process, generalizing from these three inventions? And how might this observation motivate you as a creative thinker?

This Discussion Question will invite each of us to do a Controversial Issues Brainstorming session. Note that our text makes a key distinction between a problem and an issue, both of which call us to use our creative and critical thinking skills, to come up with innovative solutions or novel approaches. Inventors and scientists
focus more on problems, while politicians, parents and leaders address human issues.
Select ONE of the following issues and do a quick Internet search for some background on it: The fast-food industry’s relation to obesity Granting rights to illegal immigrants Auto accidents caused by cell phone use Restoring voting rights to rehabilitated felons Regulation of abortions at state versus federal level
After you feel you have some initial grasp of the issue, respond in a Post of 250-300 words to the following questions:
3.1 Describe the brainstorm strategy that you used to generate possible approaches or solutions to the problem. 3.2 Which of the investigative means do you think would be most effective in examining this issue (eyewitness testimony, unpublished or published report, expert opinion, experiment, statistics, a survey, observational study, research review, or personal experience- see the text for a discussion of each of these)? Select at least two in your response. 3.3 Share what you believe is your most original approach on the issue, and how you came to your conclusion‌

Each of us makes assumptions continually in a typical day, and many of them are hidden. Clearly this is an important potential obstacle of clear or critical thinking. Stephen Covey recognized this when he said, ―We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these‖ (ThinkExist.com). Marshall McLuhan called us to an ongoing review of our assumptions: ―Most of our assumptions have outlived their usefulness‖ (ThinkExist.com).
This Discussion Question will involve us in doing an Assumption Exercise which will alert us to the potential problems assumptions can present as we seek to tackle issues or problem-solve. In our Class Materials Forum you will find the ―Assumption Exercise‖- open it and complete the ―Ten Assumptions‖ worksheet. Then respond to the following questions in a Post of 250-300 words:
Was it easy or difficult to come up with your list? What in your opinion are the most important items on that list?
Which on the list of Duke Rohe’s ―Ten Assumptions‖ (or Snipets) did you think was most significant and why (American Creativity Association, 2011)?
What suggestions are made in our text that would be in keeping with Marshall McLuhan’s warning (feel free to add your own ideas here)?

Chapter 11 in our text is about solving problems we encounter in our personal, professional or vocational lives. Most of us can call up a problem that can be worked on from either of these domains, fairly easy. Practice in problem-solving is also a major goal of this course. Select one problem that is current or as recent as possible for you in one of these areas (or if you cannot come up with one, select one problem covered in Chapter 11), and in a post of 200 to 250 words, respond to the following questions:
State the problem concisely, using enough detail as you feel is needed, but changing names or places if necessary to keep confidences.
Apply the three major problem solving steps covered in this chapter, aiming to propose a solution to you problem, that logically follows the steps used.
How would you evaluate the effectiveness of the solution you are proposing?

3.1 The history of philosophy is full of minor and major philosophers who have used deductive logic to address the tough perennial questions of life related to metaphysics (what is real), epistemology (what is true), and ethics (what is the good life). Some of the issues
they have responded to have been quite esoteric, such as where or how the human brain ―connects‖ with the mind and thinking process (Plato & Descartes). Many of the early philosophers tried to explain how life changes, but also maintains some continuity (Pythagoras & Socrates). Others wrestled with the question of how to create and administer a just society (Kant & Rawls). Some have explored the interesting nature of being, and how to be true to that essential nature (Spinoza & Heidegger). Many have debated and explored the nature of language and how it impacts society and power (Wittgenstein & Foucault). And others have made as their major project the creation of a new man who transforms society, hopefully for the better (Hegel & Marx).
Their major contributions certainly reflect creative and critical thinking of the highest order. This discussion question will invite us to select a philosopher we would like to explore, and share what we learn with our class members. Make sure you select one who has not yet been addressed in this thread, so we are not all doing Plato or Aristotle. There are several excellent sources of info on philosophy and philosophers on the Internet (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). After you have selected ONE, respond in 200-250 words to the following questions (note you will have to be selective):
3.1 Introduce the class to your philosopher by giving a brief BIO and identifying what question, issue or problem he or she was most concerned with…
3.2 In your research, what assumptions or difficulties did your philosopher seem to encounter in his or her work?
3.3 Select one of his or her major solutions and discuss the creative and critical process you discover in the research you do.
3.4 How do you think your selected philosopher’s project or proposed solution has impacted society and culture?
