Thesis Statement - Abortion

Abortion has led to the deaths of millions of babies all over the world.

Cause and Effect

School shootings are a direct result of cause and effect. The cause is usually bullying, teasing, or hazing. This causes the person that they are abusing to just snap. They just cant take it anymore and they do whatever they think would fix the problem. The effect is the killing of innocent students. If you could eliminate the cause then there would be less or even no school shootings. In order to get rid of the cause a person would have to get rid of everything that causes kids to treat others unfairly. So the direct cause might not be because of the bullying but it could be a result of the enviornment they grew up in. The direct cause might be parents or friends that have a bad influence on them like making them violent or getting them on drugs. No matter what the actual cause is the only way to get rid of school shootings is to rid the world of the things or people that cause them.

Critical Thinking

Thinking critically means to go outside of the box. It means to really focus on something. Thinking critically allows people to solve problems that they face in everyday life. Without critical thinking we would not have a lot of the technology we have today. This computer that i am typing on would not exist. If we didn't think things through then there would be more disasters and huge mistakes in our world.

Thinking

Talking with oneself... hence also inwardly listening.
I agree with this quote because thinking involves talking and listening to yourself. You need to talk to yourself otherwise you wont know what you are thinking and you need to listen to absorb the information. I also disagree because if you are sitting there talking to yourself you probably would feel a little stupid. I think that when they say talking they actually mean considering the information that you are taking in. After you decide if the information is worth taking in then you listen to it in your head so you can remember it and understand what it actually means. You then take that knowledge that you have gained and apply it to everyday life. If you dont repeat the information to yourself you probably wont remember it so it would be useless. Then after you repeat it to yourself you should hear it in your head and record it to your memory and understand its true meaning.
