Global Politics: Gender, Media and Development The pages below offer advice about how to construct a reaction/reflection paper. Remember this paper is not a research paper. It is a reflection/reaction paper intended for you to open your mind, to think creatively and critically about the discussion question prompt and then convey these thoughts in an essay. From your syllabus: To solidify your critical thinking and writing skills, you will be required to submit reactions papers in response to weekly questions. Each week, the instructors will post two questions stemming from the topic for the week. You only need to pick one of the two questions, and you only need to answer a total of 4 questions over the 8-week period. Graduate students need to answer 5 questions from 5 different weeks. You cannot choose to answer two questions in a given week. Essays should be a minimum of two double-spaced, typewritten pages in length and be free of spelling and grammar mistakes. You need to copy the question you are answering on top instead of a title. Each week has a separate DropBox. Things that we are looking for in your essay: Introduction- Identify the question that you have selected for your reaction paper. A brief statement about the issue and then provide a thesis statement. The thesis statement tells the reader what they will find in your paper and your overall opinion on the matter. Body- First paragraph give a brief synopsis of the issue/reading assignment. Following paragraphs address the discussion question. You may consider what your previous opinion/thoughts were about the topic, what you have learned since reading the article(s) and if your thoughts have changed. What others may think and what are the strengths and weaknesses are of your own and other’s positions. Conclusion- You should not provide any new ideas or thoughts in the conclusion, rather the conclusion is just a brief summary of what you wrote in your paper. Overall Quality- Essay was proofread, thoughts were clear to the reader and there was good flow to the essay. What is Critical Thinking? By Dan Kurland www.criticalreading.com No one always acts purely objectively and rationally. We connive for selfish interests. We gossip, boast, exaggerate, and equivocate. It is "only human" to wish to validate our prior knowledge, to vindicate our prior decisions, or to sustain our earlier beliefs. In the process of satisfying our ego, however, we can often deny ourselves intellectual growth and opportunity. We may not always want to apply critical thinking skills, but we should have those skills available to be employed when needed. Critical thinking includes a complex combination of skills. Among the main characteristics are the following: Rationality We are thinking critically when we • • • rely on reason rather than emotion, require evidence, ignore no known evidence, and follow evidence where it leads, and are concerned more with finding the best explanation than being right analyzing apparent confusion and asking questions. Self-awareness We are thinking critically when we • • weigh the influences of motives and bias, and recognize our own assumptions, prejudices, biases, or point of view. Honesty We are thinking critically when we recognize emotional impulses, selfish motives, nefarious purposes, or other modes of self-deception. Open-mindedness We are thinking critically when we • • • • • • evaluate all reasonable inferences consider a variety of possible viewpoints or perspectives, remain open to alternative interpretations accept a new explanation, model, or paradigm because it explains the evidence better, is simpler, or has fewer inconsistencies or covers more data accept new priorities in response to a reevaluation of the evidence or reassessment of our real interests, and do not reject unpopular views out of hand. Discipline We are thinking critically when we • • • are precise, meticulous, comprehensive, and exhaustive resist manipulation and irrational appeals, and avoid snap judgments. Judgment We are thinking critically when we • • recognize the relevance and/or merit of alternative assumptions and perspectives recognize the extent and weight of evidence In sum, • • • Critical thinkers are by nature skeptical. They approach texts with the same skepticism and suspicion as they approach spoken remarks. Critical thinkers are active, not passive. They ask questions and analyze. They consciously apply tactics and strategies to uncover meaning or assure their understanding. Critical thinkers do not take an egotistical view of the world. They are open to new ideas and perspectives. They are willing to challenge their beliefs and investigate competing evidence. Critical thinking enables us to recognize a wide range of subjective analyses of otherwise objective data, and to evaluate how well each analysis might meet our needs. Facts may be facts, but how we interpret them may vary. Non-Critical Thinkers By contrast, passive, non-critical thinkers take a simplistic view of the world. • • • • They see things in black and white, as either-or, rather than recognizing a variety of possible understanding. They see questions as yes or no with no subtleties. They fail to see linkages and complexities. They fail to recognize related elements. Non-critical thinkers take an egotistical view of the world • • • They take their facts as the only relevant ones. They take their own perspective as the only sensible one. They take their goal as the only valid one.

Introduction
Prostitution is a global aspect that raises moral and ethical concerns. Most people blame
the society of losing its moral values when this practice is done. Most people blame those
