I. Topic/Explanation: In the Unit 1 reading, critical thinking was a core subject. It is mentioned, critical thinking involves steps that lead not only to your unique creativity but allows you to set aside emotional and reactive thinking so your critical thinking can grow to allow you to be a better problem solver. Critical thinking teaches you to develop the skills to analyze, research, and evaluate; making it an important part of the business industry. I found the subject of critical thinking to be very interesting because there were several qualities I could improve on and further develop.
II. Website Summary: While researching I came across a website that provided an article defining critical thinking. The article explained how critical thinking is an intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully analyzing and/or evaluating information gathered from observation, experience, or communication. It was explained critical thinking can have two components; a set of information developing and processing skills, and using those skills to guide your behavior, transforming them into habit. The article explains how easily influenced our lives impact our critical thinking skills. What we expose ourselves to and how well we educate ourselves are core factors to being a cultivated critical thinker.

discovered that they contribute to a substance evolution that would take place in milliseconds versus two billion years in their absence. Chemical reactions performed by enzymes vary in weight. The scale starts at 10,000 Daltons, which is a unit of mass in the atomic units system, and it reaches 1,000,000. He highlights in his research that for synthetic chemical reactions, the starting scale is reflected to be very substantial; therefore, enzymes are very unique. Enzymes that carry out “nuclear magnetic…
For this deep water mission the Western Union Cable vessel the Lord Kelvin was converted to the ability to lower a cable down several miles, which had a unit attached that fired a hollow dart into the sea bed floor which was then raised with the seabed sample for analysis. [4] In the 1950s, Auguste Piccard invented the bathyscaphe and used the "Trieste" to investigate the ocean's depths. The nuclear submarine…

Chapter 3 Ecosystems: What Are They and How Do They Work Summary 1. Ecology is the study of connections in nature. 2. Life on earth is sustained by the one-way flow of high-quality energy from the sun, by the cycling of matter, and by gravity. 3. Matter, energy, and life are the major components of an ecosystem. 4. Energy in an ecosystem decreases in amount to each succeeding organism in a food chair or web. 5. Soil is a complex mixture of eroded rock, mineral nutrients, water…
approximately USD$1.5 billion in acquisitions of other companies (Nielsen n.d.). If the past decade is to be considered, the amount of capital invested in the acquisitions of other companies would reach billions. The computer software and web search engine company was founded in 1995 and successfully became one of the most visited websites on the Internet (Yahoo! 2008) (Alexa n.d.). Merely two years after the company established, it made its first acquisition for USD$92 million. From there…
the first compound of krypton to be discovered (Stewart). Krypton is one of the rarest gases on earth as it is ranked 83rd in abundance among the elements (Emsley). This gas exists in trace amounts within the air and has a atmospheric concentration of about 1 ppm, or part per million (Stwertka 110; Weast and Astle B22). Other natural abundances that are less common include earth’s crust at 10 ppt, or parts per trillion, and within seawater at 80 ppt (Emsley). The atmosphere of Mars has also been found to have 0…
