Both Joel Achenbach and Kalev Leetaru describe the unique difficulty of developing and applying critical thinking in the modern world. This problem can be compounded by our own biases—the “filter bubble” that we have created for ourselves. For this paper, explain how Achenbach’s idea that “we subconsciously cling to our intuitions—what researchers call our naïve beliefs” applies to Leetaru’s notion of “data and information literacy.” How does Leetaru offer a remedy to the problem of “confirmation bias” that Achenbach describes?
Consider this model for organization.
• State your claim. This should be the first sentence of the paragraph, though you may have to revise it when you are done with your analysis. • Introduce your quotation from Leetaru or Achenbach, providing the necessary context. • Provide the quotation, ideally integrated into your essay. • Briefly explain and analyze your quotation. • Introduce the quotation from the other author— Leetaru or Achenbach —providing the necessary context. • Provide the quotation, ideally integrated into your essay. • Briefly explain and analyze your quotation and the connection between quotations (if possible, use the language of one quotation to explain the other). • Give some sort of transition to the next paragraph.
