extrinsic motivation
______________: You believe something is true simply because someone claims to be an authority. Just because a person is an authority on one subject, it does not follow that s/he is an authority on all subjects. For example, Sandy goes to the doctor for her child’s checkup. While there, her doctor tells her she needs to watch her child with strangers. He tells her strangers take children all the time. Sandy goes home and tells her neighbor that they all need to watch out for strangers. Her neighbor argues that very few child abductions occur that involve strangers. Sandy argues that the doctor told her, so it must be true. •
Appeal to authority
Goals are important because they act as a guide and_______________________________.

Define critical thinking
The analysis and evaluation of thinking with the purpose of improving it
Define the problem
Investigate and evaluate information related to the problem
Draw inferences from the information you gather
Create and implement the solution
Review, reflect, and revise as necessary
Practice problem solving.
Stay focused.
Spend time thinking about your day.
Practice problem solving
___________: You make an irrelevant negative comment about another person to undermine his/her credibility; you argue against the person (either the claims maker or the object of the claim). For example, your friend supports Senator Smith for president and you support Senator Jones. To persuade your friend to change her or his mind, you say, “I can’t support Senator Smith because he is too young to be president. He is only 48 years old, and that is not old enough to be a good president.” The constitution clearly states that a citizen must be 35 to be president. Thus, Senator Smith’s age is irrelevant. Alternatively, perhaps your friend argues that you are not capable of choosing a good president because you failed math. People often use this fallacy when they do not have a legitimate reason for disagreeing.
