One huge idea was that the workers at Bell Telephone were put on a 10 month intense program called the Institute of Humanistic Studies for Executives during this time they had no other time then to read and think about their courses. But because of how intense the program was it led these workers to becoming deep thinkers. This thought connected back to How to Become a Deep Thinker at College.
This one little connection, this little thought made me sit and think about my own thinking process, my time spent of analyzing and processing my classes and questions I have about them. In the end I looked at myself as a day dreamer, swiftly drifting through the day trying not to analysis a thing and just going with what everything seems to be.
In college and in life, everything isn't what it seems. These two articles made me actually consider about how much time I put into just thinking. I don't want to let my brain run free and day dream about random things just as much but be more productive and achieve a deeper thinking on class work and on my own life as well.
In addition, I looked up other articles about critical thinking to see what others thought about the topic. I came across the article Thinking Cap: Angst Before High School on Nytimes.com. The article talked about research being done to see if students going to more renowned High School score's had a different long term outcome than those who had equal testing scores but didn't get into the school. The results were that the students really didn't show much difference. I thought this article related to deeper thinking because even though the students that didn't get into a renowned school they ended up having more time to think and practice and to keep up with their counterparts who did attend the renowned school.
