st research suggests that human thinking has two
distinct phases which are complementary in making
decisions or solving problems. The first,
or production phase, is associated with our
creative thinking- seeing the familiar in a novel
way, generating a variety of ideas, and a
willingness to take imaginative risks the
second, or judgment phase, kicks in our critical
thinking, as the mind goes to work evaluating,
distinguishing fact and evidence from sense
impression, and running the tests of logic to
apply what has been produced

Churchill), clumsy (Martha Graham), stupid

also brings to mind the fact that we take a lot

to think that all the worlds inventions are
already here and in use. What an interesting
creativity-blocker that could be! Then delving

www.phl458edu.com   Week 3 DQ 1   Each of us
makes assumptions continually in a typical day,
and many of them are hidden. Clearly this is an
important potential obstacle of clear or critical
thinking. Stephen Covey recognized this when he
said, We simply assume that the way we see
things is the way they really are or the way they
should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow
out of these (ThinkExist.com). Marshall McLuhan
called us to an ongoing review of our
assumptions Most of our assumptions have
outlived their usefulness (ThinkExist.com).
