::..Critical Thinking Through Reflection..::

Critial thinking is "reasonably and reflectively deciding what to do or believe." I feel that this definition is one that reflects how I have gone about writing this hypertext. I feel that I am successful when I put myself in someone's shoes and use emotional intelligence to understand what to say and what not to say. This is especially important when writing about the low wage life . I think that reflecting upon the issue and getting in touch with my feelings is very important. For example, several of the authors in the books that I have researched went undercover so that they could relate to their fellow workers or interviewees. This type of "hands-on" research provides us with information that cannot be understood unless one lived the life of the particular low wage worker.
