Critical and Reflective Thinking

Canada’s war declaration on Nazi Germany was important because it showed that they still knew what they had to do but they made the decisions for themselves. The Canadians waited 7 days after France and Great Britain before declaring war on the Nazis. The placement of their declaration proved that they had the power to make their own decisions and do what’s best for them rather than what’s best for Britain. The declaration is also important because that means that Canada saw the Germany as a threat. They believed that France and Britain couldn’t handle it on their own. So, the declaration was important because it says many things about the country of Canada and what they believe in on their own.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements because I don’t just make judgements out of the blue off nothing. I need to have some form of information to base my judgements and decisions on. Sometimes I do make judgements on things out of the blue, but it’s usually based on a gut feeling, so that isn’t really based of nothing. My judgments may be based on a lot of evidence or not a lot of evidence but there is evidence involved with the judgements that I make.
