" Awareness of Ignorance is The beginning of Wisdom.

Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher. Here are five facts about Socrates:

Philosopher of Classical Greece: Socrates (469–399 BCE) was a classical Greek philosopher and a key figure in the development of Western philosophy. He is often credited with laying the groundwork for the Western philosophical tradition.

Socratic Method: Socrates is best known for his method of teaching, which is now called the Socratic method. Instead of lecturing, he engaged in dialogues with his students, asking them a series of questions to stimulate critical thinking and illuminate ideas. This method is still used in modern education.

Never Wrote Down His Ideas: Socrates did not leave behind any written records of his teachings or philosophy. Most of what we know about him comes from the writings of his students, primarily Plato, who documented Socratic dialogues and discussions in their works.

Charged and Executed: Socrates' unorthodox teachings and questioning of traditional beliefs led to his being charged with impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens. In 399 BCE, he was sentenced to death by drinking hemlock, a poisonous substance, as depicted in Plato's "Phaedo."

Philosophical Focus: Socrates was concerned with ethical questions and the pursuit of virtue. He often questioned the commonly held beliefs of his time, seeking a deeper understanding of concepts such as justice, piety, and the nature of the good life. His philosophical inquiries laid the foundation for subsequent philosophical developments in ethics and epistemology.

CRITICAL THINKING B

Week 1 : Creative Practice and Critical Thinking

Illustrator Ofelia Botella uses creative practice in her work consistently. She has a design service called Designed in a Day where she creates wedding stationery between 9am-5pm on the same day.

She has a 30-minute meeting with clients before their design day as well as questionnaires for clients to fill up about details and inspirations. For it to work smoothly client and designer communication has to be efficient in speedy replies or quick calls.

Then a mood board and draft would be sent to the client to review before 1pm. After the chosen direction, designs will be polished and shared for two feedback rounds and finalizing.

Ten different templates would be created that clients can use across all stationery items and a shared guide on how to edit the text using canva and some printing tips. Since the final process takes some time, the step would be finished after the design day.

This design service really intrigued me because it's quite rare and I have worked on a wedding invitation project before and it took more than a day. So it was awe-inspiring how she illustrated in a few hours to complete cards by 5pm. I really love her unique watercolor art style as well as it is hand-painted with a sense of personal touch. The system of the service Ofelia created is really efficient because projects get done faster.

CRITICAL THINKING A

Week 1: What is Critical Thinking?

My understanding of critical thinking before class was really vague, as I did not think that critical thinking was as important in my daily life. I think because in our generation we don't think as deeply into critical thinking, which are skills that actually makes our lives easier.

But after the class, I totally understand the importance of critical thinking skills on problem solving, analysing, creative thinking, interpretation, evaluation, and reasoning. That we solely need as human beings to have in our daily lives because of how it helps us be more aware of the problems we face in this world.

What I have learnt about mindfulness in the class previously is that mindfulness is something that has always been a concept that has always been talked about but sadly not everyone has especially if you are in an environment where there are alot of different people, personalities and characters.

So how i might intergrate this into my learning environment is that i would kindly be a light to everyone and display good morals and character as a person in the classroom so that my classmates may be inspired to be the best version of theirselves and slowly get better character wise.

It is a challenge not only one must face but a community will face.

An eventful moment i have experienced in class is when I was really quiet and unsure. As it was my first day in class but suddenly the teacher made me feel comfortable as he interacted with each individual in class and made everyone share a little more about themselves which made me really happy as I got the opportunity to learn more about my classmates even though i was shy at first which made me really thankful for the teacher bringing us together as a class.

NEW IQ MATRIX: Realistic Thinking [#0507]

The Realistic Thinking IQ Matrix explores the fundamental principles and dynamics that build the groundwork for thinking realistically, objectively, and logically about everyday problems and circumstances. To think realistically, you must become aware of the world around you. Only in this way will you gain an accurate view of the world and your place in it. With that awareness, you will be better able to make more informed decisions based on the available information.

This map walks you through how to develop realistic thinking when facing various issues, problems, or circumstances that require an objective and logical approach. Developing the ability to think realistically will help you set achievable goals and take responsibility for your actions and the consequences that come with them.

You can read a more detailed outline of this map at https://store.iqmatrix.com/shop/realistic-thinking

Gostei da tirinha da Bianca (não sei o Insta dela para marcar). Ainda assim, diria que a palavra criticar no terceiro quadro, poderia ser de novo "julgar" e não a palavra "críticar" pois são coisas carregadas de significados e sentidos diferentes, embora freqüentemente usadas como a mesma coisa. Ficaria assim: "tirei o peso de julgar as pessoas", "a todo momento", "quando você para de julgar", "sobra mais espaço para amar". Julgar, criticar, decidir, amar, respeitar são coisas diferentes que embora se relacionem não são dependentes e longe de serem "a mesma coisa". Você pode julgar e amar. Você pode criticar e não decidir (acontece muito). Você pode julgar quando deveria amar e respeitar com crítica. Você pode criticar e não julgar. Você pode apenas amar. Você pode acolher. Você pode escutar e depois criticar sem julgar como proposta de novos caminhos. Quando, por exemplo, você deixa de julgar o sentimento, a atitude do outro e passa a exercer uma crítica (pessoal) sobre aquele momento perceberá espaço para outros sentimentos além do amor. Sobrará mais espaço para aprender, para dar novos significados e mudar você é a outra pessoa. Além disso, julgar e escolher são pesos diferentes. Limites e fronteiras que mudam perspectivas.... Como o post acabou filosófico demais, vou deixar uma pergunta: você é capaz de não julgar? Você vem conseguindo aceitar o sentimento do outro? Ou tá naquelas de julgo, sentencio e desprezo o sentimento do outro? 😕 Pensa nisso e se achar que vale a pena, comenta aqui no @psico.online Se achar que deve compartilhar, não esquece de marcar a gente também. E passa lá no https://psico.online Tem textos novos. Se quiser agendar.

Knowledge Castle 1 - Corporate Social Responsibility

Welcome to Knowledge Castle - a series where I talk about many different issues from both sides. The aim is to mainly voice out my thoughts and trigger the reader's thinking. Do give me feedback so I can improve in subsequent posts :)

According to Investopedia, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is "a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public."

This framework makes businesses consider other aspects of their work other than creating profits to benefit from such that they contribute towards making a positive impact in society rather than continuing to inflict harms on the environment or people.

Why is this concept important?

The United Nations' Emission Gap Report released this year has shown that the time left to avoid catastrophic consequences of global climate change is becoming dangerously narrow. Significant and immediate action is required, especially knowing that the world is going through an unstable phase in its economy and geopolitical stability. We cannot just care about the environment anymore - all of humanity is at risk. With the income gap between the richest and the poorest not showing signs of improvement, it is not far-fetched to say that we could possibly face a very disparate world compared to status quo. The top tenth of wealthy people might end up being the only ones able to afford basic human rights and necessities. What makes things worse is that space (seen as a popular solution to the world's environmental issues) is mainly being explored as a way to bring profits rather than to benefit all mankind. It is being seen as a competitive field to dominate, especially when you consider that the demographics of space investors constitute mainly private companies who are helped on by their government.

As such, companies are major stakeholders in helping to resolve this problem. CSRs are not from the heart - it is important to understand that they are carefully-thought business methods that mainly aim to benefit the corporation's revenue. A common example of CSR in the fashion and beauty industries is a strong stand against animal cruelty. This means that companies transparently show that they do not make products from animal-derived materials. On the front side, this looks like a very noble cause. It feels good not only as an announcement but as a choice for consumers to make. You see the psychological impact here? It contributes towards driving sales because it can take out the guilt from their shopping and also can make them feel like they are participating in good and moral behaviour. CSR hence greatly improves a company's prospects in terms of outreach, consumption and reputation. However, the real doubt is whether CSR is truly achieving its stated goals. Corporations can be big and so, as customers, we cannot exactly track down every process they carry out. Sometimes, CSR can be a magic show to distract us from ineffective action. A popular case to show this is the concept of greenwashing. Wikipedia defines it as "a form of advertising or marketing spin in which green PR and green marketing are deceptively used to persuade the public that an organization's products, aims and policies are environmentally friendly." Some companies may present a sustainable or circular business framework while not presenting the whole picture. For example, a toy company could talk about reusing materials in the manufacturing process while hiding the intensive energy consumption that goes into making this possible (which is obviously the problem that they need to think about - how can they make their processes sustainable from the very start?). The company could even be exploiting child workers but covering up the truth with a false show of "handicraft to save the Earth" in their products. However, consumers would not be able to identify this if the corporation bombards them with campaign videos or certification marks.

This does not render CSRs completely useless. Rather, it highlights the important changes needed to improve their transparency, effectiveness and commitment. CSRs are beneficial only if there are tight regulations present to ensure that they are followed through. Additionally, incentives and capacity building by governments for corporations to benefit more from implementing such models are necessary. Lastly, SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) would also require support for them to be able to afford implementing such measures because the market, capital and resource access for them are drastically different. With the urgency of this issue being stressed enough and influential stakeholders being strict with their action, one could expect optimism in the way CSRs change our world. We need this change.

All credits given in links highlighting relevant words or phrases.

Pondering questions: Is the ideal situation for CSRs achievable? How does the concept of CSR link to green fatigue?

I’m a logically thinking, LGBT defending, truth searching father and medical professional. I was Mormon. I have 3 children and love being involved in their development. I try to teach them critical thinking skills and how to hone their BS detector. I took a deep dive into the truth claims of the so-called church. What hurt me most was that I was never given the chance to decide with all the information available to me. I felt betrayed and lied to.
