Critical Thinking

I don’t feel like critical thinking has ever really been an issue for me, but the piece that I feel best represents these skills is my timed write based on the movie Fight Club. The writing prompt that I was given was “Considering your own perceptions of non-conformity, how does the film and the group discussion that ensued challenge these perceptions.” I feel like my essay really dove into the underlying message of the movie, showing my critical thinking. In my essay I stated that “the whole point of the movie was to get out from under that societal control and pressure, obviously in an extremely unconventional way, but to break free none the less.” The point of the timed write, is writing under pressure so being able to critically think and analyze is a very helpful skill.
