Using the critical thinking skills you have gained so far and referring to the materials provided for this assignment, identify two possible strategies that Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking as those historical events unfolded prior to taking a stand and acting according to their beliefs. Using the critical thinking skill, “broadened their perceptive,” Thomas Hutchinson and Samuel Adams looked at the whole picture for everyone and what could happen in their future if their situation does not change. They believe in individuality. Hutchinson and Adams, both did not believe that they should just go along with everyone else’s ideas. I believe that they had an open mind to what their situation was. I do think that they believe in somewhat in the other people’s opinions but they had their own unanswered questions and ideas. This way of thinking made them major key figures in our country’s history. 102 words 2.

A strategy that they used would be a maintained critical attitude throughout the problem solving. When using a critical attitude and maintaining it can help improve your thinking skills. This is crucial because improving your thinking depends on the habits and attitudes of others. When problem solving this involves careful observation, interpreting, evaluating, and more, which can be difficult if distracted by emotions. The second one I think they may have used would have been Summarizing. Summarizing can help a person visualize all key elements. Samuel Adams may have used an analytical process. He assessed both sides of the issue and all consequences of their actions before he planned what he would do. 2. Explain the importance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events such as the Boston Tea Party.

Using a critical attitude helps you to maintain calm and think things through clearly a rationally. This is crucial because improving your thinking depends on the habits and attitudes of others.

...gained so far and referring to the materials provided for this assignment, identify two possible strategies that Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking as those historical events unfolded prior to taking a stand and acting according to their beliefs. Two strategies’ that Thomas Hutchison and Samuel Adams used were weighing out all the pros and cons and solicitation. Thomas Hutchison felt that all ties need to be maintained with England to keep the peace between them and their colonies. Therefore weighing out all the pros and cons to increase the trade for the colonies so that it would put them in a better position financially, could have been a strategy they likely used. Basically the pros and cons show the positive and negatives of taxation without representation. This could have likely been determined through solicitation of opinions among the colonists, in which a number of them agreed with the radicals. 2. Explain the importance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events such as the Boston Tea Party. The importance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events is to consider the facts of the things that happened. In other words the things that we know were true. The reason it is important to create a foundation of creative thinking is because along with the facts we should also consider other possibilities and outcomes...

...dissatisfaction is why he did not let the tea-laden ships clear the Boston Harbor (Thomas Hutchinson, 2011). He could of also used the construct pro and con arguments (Vincent Ryan Ruggiero, 2009), which he would have made two lists one which consist of pros and the other to consist of cons to let the ships clear the harbor. I believe he came up with more cons then pros and that is why he did not allow the ships to clear Boston Harbor (Thomas Hutchinson, 2011). 2. The building of a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events as the Boston Tea Party is to find what the truth is? Gathering all the factual information of events that lead up to the Boston Tea Party. Also gather all the factual information that happened during and after the Boston Tea Party. To find the truth it may need to be investigated, verify that the report where the information is received is correct (Vincent Ryan Ruggiero, 2009). Opinions and judgment also need to be weeded out of the information that is gathered. A clear understanding of cause and effect relationships is crucial to the responsible formation of opinions (Vincent Ryan Ruggiero, 2009). Once all that information is in hand a clear judgment and foundation can be found. 3. The basis of the moral judgments that were made by Samuel Adams were he was against the raising of revenue tax without representation. He also drafted a protest against the Stamp Act in 1765 (Samuel Adams, 2011). I believe Samuel Adams made these...

Using the critical thinking skills you have gained and the materials provided for this assignment, identify two possible strategies that Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams, or both, likely used to develop and improve his thinking prior to taking a stand and acting according to his beliefs. I believe that Thomas Hutchinson and Samuel Adams saw that there were imperfections in some things and saw that not only they had dissatisfactions, but others as well. They decided that things needed to change and they were willing to do that for themselves and others. They decided that if they wanted it done they had to do it themselves. Thomas and Samuel, along with many others, realized that the way things were being done was not benefiting them like it should have. They believed that somebody needed to do something to change it and it just so happened to be them. 2.

...critical thinking skills you have gained so far and referring to the materials provided for this assignment, identify two possible strategies that Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking as those historical events unfolded prior to taking a stand and acting according to their beliefs. Samuel Adams may have used strategy one: analyzing a single statement for what is means by asking yourself if the statement makes sense and if so responding with a yes or no answer. Adams was not only an extremist but a political writer speaking to issues that directly affected colonies like the Stamp Act and tea distribution from East India. Both of these events affected many colonists in a negative way because the Stamp Act added taxation to certain products, while India tea imports, caused some colonists to lose money from their own tea sells. Adams would have had to ask himself why these acts where just or unjust by analyzing them individually in a literal sense. He publicly came to the conclusion that these acts were unjust because they both caused colonists to lose money and also put a damper on their personal values and liberty. Another strategy he may have used it number 3, which is when something that is presented as factual isn’t and therefore needs an explanation on why it can or can’t be validated. By evaluating and concluding in his writings that colonists should not be taxed without the proper representation to back up this very...

...maternal role for the boys, the loyal philosophic friend for Adam, and a major character for the novel. In the Trask house Lee is portrayed as nothing more than a low class servant, but as we look further into the novel we see the impact Lee had on everyone. For example, he was responsible for keeping the Trask family together. His interpretation of timshel, thou mayest, is an evident theme throughout the novel. He believes that one has the right of choosing between the two paths of right and wrong. Throughout, we watch as some characters fall into the path of evil while others take the other route of good. The Trasks grow closer to Lee and it becomes without him the family would crumble apart as he took over the role of father figure. Lee is the most important character of the novel because he serves to embody and epitomize the concept of timshel, bringing it out from each of the other characters. Lee was portrayed as stereotypical Chinese servant, he wore a que, traditional clothing, and spoke with a heavy Chinese accent. He lived in Salinas in about the 1900s. During this time many of the residents were Caucasians so people were not use to Chinese Americans and so he faced endless amounts of racism as he grew up. Lee had an intimate relationship with Samuel Adams and felt he could really open up to Samuel. He had highly educated conversations where he did not speak pidgin English. At one point Samuel asked why Lee spoke in this stereotypical...

...Christian Allegory in Rime of the Ancient Mariner Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of an Ancient Mariner" is a lyrical ballad that seems to be more like a miniscule adventurous story. However, not only it is a ballad depicting the adventure of an old mariner who is cursed for the entirety of his life because he kills an albatross; even deeper than that, it is also a religious allegory that conveys a plethora of themes pertaining to Christianity. On one hand, if a person were to read "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" simply as a tale at sea, the poem stands to be remarkable because of its rhyme of simplicity and easy flow. On the other hand, if one reads much deeper into the intricate details, symbolism, themes, and literary aspects, Coleridge will have produced a masterpiece in their eyes. Furthermore, a multitude of critics agree that there are several connotations that signify religion in this ballad; however, very few agree upon it being an allegory that mainly reflects the specific ideology of Christianity. Christianity preaches that life is basically a test by which we either pass and go to heaven, or fail and go to hell. Also, the human body is a victim of the human thought and action, which is represented by the soul. Therefore, in relation to the ballad, we can refer to the ship as the human body and the Mariner who steers the ship and leads it to destruction as the human soul. This ship led by the Mariner goes through a trial of storm and winds, but fails because...

...the rain was plentiful. But there were dry years too, and the put a terror on the valley. … And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always this way.” (5). This quote is among the most important in the chapter book because it gives the reader a connection to the people living in the valley. It establishes that humans in the Salinas are the same as people all over the world. Human nature seems to ensure that during times of plenty people forget times of hardship while forgetting the times the prosperity...

...Samuel Taylor Coleridge: A Spiritual Connection Between “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and the Holy Scripture. Donald McCoy Liberty University September 15, 2014 Many authors attempt to convey some sort of message in their writings, whether it be that of Romances’ by Shelley, the plight of women in the writings of Wollstonecraft, or the political satire behind Jonathan Swift’s works. It can even be said that some essays have been written to bring across a moral lesson to the reader. Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey”, in which the main character is rescued by the Greek gods and then embarks on a journey to return to his homeland, all the while facing obstacles that test his faith, loyalty, and solidify his virtues and beliefs. Few authors have had the success Homer gained in his grand tale featuring the main character, Odysseus. Arguably, even fewer authors have tried to emulate the Christian faith within their works with much success. Mr. Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one such author. Coleridge’s lyrical ballad “The Rime of an Ancient Mariner” is one in which numerous religious themes are adequately complimented. Most notable of the comparisons is that of the Albatross and how it symbolizes Jesus Christ. In the ballad, Coleridge writes, At length did cross an Albatross, Thorough the fog it came; As if it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God’s name. (Mariner, Line 65). In the ballad, the men on the ship had become lost, with mist, snow, and ice converging...

They’ve greatly contributed to the history of America staring in 1775. The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775 (Marines.com). The Marines play a big role in the Revolutionary War because they were better trained and better experienced for example. The first Marine landing on a hostile shore happened when a force of Marines with Captain Samuel Nicholas took over New Province Island in the Bahamas from the British in March 1776 (History.com). Sadly, shortly after declaring independence the Marines were disbanded but only temporarily because two months later, on July 11, President John Adams signed a bill that said the U.S. Marine Corps as a...

...On July 4, 1826, the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Constitution of The United States of America, former-president and signer of The Declaration of Independence, John Adams, died in his house in Baintree (Quincy), Massachusetts. He was ninety years old. Adams was born on October 30, 1735 in the same town of his death, Baintree. He became enrolled in Harvard University when he was fifteen, and after graduating in 1755, became a teacher, instead of a minister, which his parents favored. After a brief period of teaching, Adams started to study law and was admitted to the bar in 1761. At first he attended to minor issues, such as property disputes, but worked his way to more important ones, like theft. Adams soon became a well-known New England lawyer. As he gathered prestige in his law career, Adams also gathered a wife. In 1764, he and Abigail Smith married. Smith was well educated, coming from an upper-middle class home. She and Adams would eventually have a number of children together, including president John Quincy Adams. Despite Adams...
