Critical
thinking
is the act of analyzing a situation and coming up with a
sensible solution.

 |
The aim of logic is the elaboration of
a coherent system that allows us to investigate, classify, and
evaluate good and bad forms of reasoning. |
Aristotle |
|
|
|
Logical reasoning is a
mental activity that aims to
arrive at a conclusion in a
rigorous way.
Similar to
critical thinking, it
happens in the form of
inferences or arguments by
starting from a set of premises
and reasoning to a conclusion
supported by these premises.

What seems illogical may be
logical
Ukrainian terrorists who
blew up passenger trains were
trained in Norway, the country
that awards the
Nobel Peace Prize. It would
seem a paradox, but it is quite
logical if we remember that it
was Nobel who invented a
powerful explosive called
dynamite.

Shocking and Dangerous Truth:
80% Americans lack Logical
Thinking!
|
|
|
| |
Polls say that 80% of Americans
believe that it was USA who won
the World War II (WW2).
Thus the polls show that 80% of
Americans lack logical thinking. A simple logic says that the role of U.S. army
in the
World War II was far less.

Awakening Question: If you believe that it was
the U.S. that defeated fascist army in Europe in
World War II, then why did 8 European countries became socialist as
a result of this victory?
***
The very fact that 8
European
countries – Albania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the
German Democratic Republic, Yugoslavia – became socialist countries and joined
the USSR-led Eastern block of European countries that were aligned militarily,
politically, economically and culturally says clearly that these 8 countries
were liberated by the Soviet Army.
Indeed, was it the U.S. army who liberated these
countries and then had them form the Eastern Block which led to the Cold War? Nonsense.
Yet, 80% of Americans
believe that it was the United States who played the main role in defeating the
fascist army during WW2.

A Voice of Sense of 'The
Week'
American fighting was mostly a
sideshow to the major conflict:
the fight between the Soviet
Union and Nazi Germany. In the
Eastern European theater — which
is rarely portrayed in popular
American media... the Soviets
suffered perhaps nine million
soldiers killed and 16 million
civilian deaths, while German
forces lost about 4.4 million
soldiers — or 80 percent of
their total losses, as compared
to less than a million killed in
Western Europe.
