General Education Capstone – Week 4 Assignment
Refer to the concepts in Chapter 4 of Becoming a Critical
Thinker. For this assignment, you will
write a 3-5 page essay with a focus on your influencers. As we grow and mature,
and travel through life, we meet others who influence us along the way. These influencers shape our
individuality. They help to make us who
we are. Additionally, reflect on the
Four Empowering Attitudes in your essay.
·
Make a list of three or four people who have
influenced you.
·
Explain the specific effect of their
influence. (For example: My mother told
me not take to candy from strangers. Her
warnings caused me to be wary of meeting or paying attention to
strangers.) Provide some less obvious
influences, too.
·
Indicate how each of these people has effected
your individuality (based on Chapter 4 in Becoming a Critical Thinker).
·
Be sure to include the Four Empowering Attitudes
in your essay. Address each one of these
and provide your thoughts.
