Critical and Reflective Thinking Skills

This piece of work demonstrates both the ideas of critical and reflective thinking. The main idea of the assignment was to reflect and use critical knowledge based on the song we listened to and write about how it pertains to the Cold War in general. More importantly this had to be done with the use of only the song and our minds as this was a very critical piece of work.

This “assignment” showed and brought out how I can take the ideas of one topic like music and reflect on how it fulfills the idea of critical and reflective thinking. This tested my ability to think majorly as I had to go in depth about things like emotions of the song. Although this task could have been a lot simpler I was able to extend my thinking and reflective more deeply on how I feel about each song along with the fact of its related to the topic of war. I’m the end I was able to come up with a fine and drastic response for each section of the piece of work. My work show how finely and extensively I can expand on my reflective work and shows my eagerness to keep going.

The greatest challenge I faced during this “assignment “ was definitely finding the right emotions that came along with the song. Although many of the songs were quite complex it was hard for me to figure out what I was feeling and it took me a while to really comprehend what I felt. In the end I rose up to this remark and I was able to successfully complete the assignment.

As a whole, I am now confident in my reflective and critical thinking skills along with the variety of other components the piece of work brought to me. I feel these skills are very important to have as at some point in our lives we will most likely need to use these skills again, and for some we may use them everyday.
