In class today we joined forces to try and combat what Rosenwasser and Stephen call \u201cCounterproductive Habits of Mind\u201d (See pages 42-71 in Writing Analytically<\/i>).\u00a0 These habits do not bolster analytical thinking, but instead they \u201cshut down perception and arrest potential ideas at the clich\u00e9 stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rosenwasser and Stephen categorize these problems into four types: a Premature Leap (43), The Judgment Reflex (44), Generalizing (46), or Naturalizing our Assumptions (47). \u00a0Since, as a class, we are still struggling with some of these counterproductive habits of mind, I asked you to work on revising some examples of these common mistakes.<\/p>\n
I am going to post the statements for revision below.\u00a0 Instead of writing a full reaction paper for Wed, I simply want you to comment on this post with your revised claim.\u00a0 Your claim might be a sentence or a few sentences, but please note which statement you worked on in your group. \u00a0We’ll take a look at the revised statements together in class on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Statement A: <\/b><\/p>\n
The character Veronica Mars uses a camera and watches people, so therefore the series must be an adaptation of Rear Window.\u00a0 <\/i>(Premature Leap)<\/p>\n
Statement B:<\/b><\/p>\n
The Veronica Mars <\/i>pilot episode does not get its point across because it is over-dramatic and outdated making it uninteresting to viewers today.\u00a0\u00a0 (The Judgment Reflex)<\/p>\n
Statement C: <\/b><\/p>\n
What Veronica Mars <\/i>all boils down to is bullying and how it is always bad for schools. (Generalizing)<\/p>\n
Statement D: <\/b><\/p>\n
The character Veronica Mars comes from a broken home and just suffered a break up so her interactions with other people are guarded and sometimes mean because she has a broken heart due to these things. (Naturalizing Our Assumptions)<\/p>\n
Statement E: <\/b><\/p>\n
In the TV series Veronica Mars,<\/i> Veronica has a series of flashbacks suggesting that she lives too much in the past (Generalizing)<\/p>\n
Statement F: <\/b><\/p>\n
Veronica Mars<\/i> is a TV series a feminist show because it deals with rape and Veronica is a strong woman. (Generalizing\/ Naturalizing Our Assumptions)<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
