The first Discussion Board on Tradition is my choice for Critical Thinking piece. In this assignment I have to analyze the established traditions whether we should attack or embrace them.
Based on my writing on the discussion board, selected from the Remix textbook, I want to focus my thought about Thanksgiving and arranged marriage.
The instructors Professor Smith and Wells-Edwards gave me some guidance to think critically in the selected reading assignment.
1. Are established traditions guiding influences or are they limiting? Should we question the origins or purposes of our culture’s traditions?2. What takes precedence, our search for our own identity or our adherence to our culture’s traditions?
3. If we shun our culture’s traditions, should we be shunned ourselves (or should we shun those who don’t follow them)?
4. Is society becoming more accepting of transgressions, of non-conforming behavior?
I think both of them are interesting topics to learn about. This assignment expand my knowledge by challenging me to think deeper and critically.
