- Pick a Discipline. A discipline means an area of study or a career. You may choose your future career or study area (like advertising, teacher, physical therapist, lawyer, marketing, coach) or select one that is of interest to you. Peer: “I might choose Lawyer not because I want to be one but because I find it more interesting than using my major which is computer science” or “I’m not sure what I’m going to do specifically but I’ve always been interested in Marketing.”
- Use the Element wheel to brainstorm what this discipline/career is all about. You may use the Nosich text, perhaps the list on page 68, the wheel itself, or check out this interactive Element wheel online: https://www.criticalthinking.org/ctmodel/logic-model1.htm You’ll ask each Element of the discipline/career. For example. What is the purpose of being a lawyer? What is the purpose of Advertising? What Assumptions does one make about Lawyers? Maybe ask: What do I assume going into advertising will be like? What are the Implications of this career?
- Reflect on Module 2 and aim to write down impediments you believe a doctor or other doctors like Goldman may deal with on a regular basis.
- Then, think up 3 strong impediments you believe people in that occupation may need to overcome. You have the option to think about yourself here as the future occupation, or just generalize. I’ll give you two examples:
Lawyers. Hm, I’m not a lawyer, but after reading Nosich’s explanation of “egocentrism” I feel like a lot of lawyers may suffer from egocentrism, or where they have a difficult time putting themselves in another person’s shoes. They may have come from a privileged home, their upbringing, and this may make it difficult for them to understand someone of a different socioeconomic status.
