Evaluation and Critical Engagement
Based on my evaluation on both school of thoughts, I agree with perspective one side. I agree with perspective one, which is about the two systems of cognitive processes because it is relatable, and it makes clear sense. When a problem arises, people do not want to take the time to breakdown situation into pieces when they know a simpler solution is already made. Which leads to system 1 thinking where quick estimates, habits of thought and behavior and heuristics are held. Critical thinking would not be used to decide on which fast food joint to go to for dinner, it could be used but it only add to the problem because one can overthink and the next thing you know you are decided from ten restaurants compared to the original five. Which is why it would be best to go with your gut instinct. From my …show more content…

A problem can be more than an issue it can be creating a new idea or choosing between perspectives. Even though I agree with this perspective I cannot completely agree with the idea that no system is better than the other. In my opinion system 2 is better because consequences are considered, even though timing is a negative factor. Even though I side with perspective one, perspective two brings up an important idea about why critical thinking is so difficult and that is because it takes practice. This idea works along with perspective one idea that our reasoning skills may not be up to par, assumptions might be wrong or experience consequences that were unexpected.

System 1 thought processes operate automatically, process information fast, are heavily influenced by context, biology and past experience, aid humans in mapping and assimilating newly acquired stimuli into preexisting knowledge structures, and are self-evidently valid experience alone is enough for belief. In contrast, System 2 thought processes are controlled, effortful, intentional, and require justification through logic and evidence. While Daniel Kahneman’s, and his research, have been influential in psychology and economics in helping understand the fallibility of human reasoning and decision making, his explanation of fallibility of System 1 overlooks the important adaptive value of System 1. One of the wonders of System 1 is its ability to feed creative insights to System 2. This often happens when System 2 is “taking a rest”.

Perception is the organisation, identification and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. Like perception, logic plays a role in critical thinking. Critical thinking is the process in which one mentally explores deeper than the superficial matters at hand into the deeper layers in order to find out what the real issues are. However, when it comes to weighing their beneficial impact on the critical thinking process, logic and perception are by no means equal. While logic is firmly rooted in reason, perceptions are just as firmly rooted in one’s senses and can easily be corrupted.

After explaining the two systems in great detail, Mr Kahneman moves on to the section in which he explains that these two systems are often in conflict. System 1 for example, operates on heuristics which may not always be correct. On the other hand, System 2 demands effort to evaluate those heuristics, and is still capable of making errors. Complicated issues, but even the way we make day to day decisions can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions.
