Discuss the "elements of thought

Think about a situation in which you were communicating your ideas about an issue with someone who had an alternative point of view. It can be a work situation in which you were trying to solve a problem or a conversation with a friend where you were discussing a personal or public issue. Using your understanding of the components of critical thinking, discuss the "elements of thought" that you successfully used to communicate your ideas about the issue. Next, discuss the elements of thought that you could have used to better communicate your ideas and counter the arguments that were being made by the other person. As you consider the elements that you have used and the ones you could use in the future, you will gain a better understanding of the components of critical thinking that you will need to focus on during this course to improve your critical thinking.
