REFLECTION TO TNCT

The subject Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking has helped me a lot in terms of learning new things regarding how people around us work and join certain trends and bandwagons. Through the lessons and certain additional lectures, I learned that people can get tired of certain things and that there are some that may still stay. Trends for example was something I’ve known ever since but I understood it more through this subject, it was said to be somewhat long-term and a huge amount of personalities follow it and join its “band-wagon.” Many people can create trends and be trendsetters, you’ll just have to hunt for certain things that believe that could be something big in the near future. However, if it didn’t work out or if it did but for a short amount of time only, it may only be called as a Fad, it is something temporary and not that large of a number of people may notice and join its popularity. TNCT may be a new subject and be part of the curriculum, it still gave certain new knowledge in order to understand how people interact with things and how they move around in the society.

On the other hand, the topic of critical thinking has been something that affected me a lot since I tend to be someone that looks and perceives something without looking into it more. I understand things from my own opinions and sometime disregard further insights regarding specific details, and with the discussion of critical thinking; it somehow aided me more, I tend to question more of things and give my opinions and thoughts about various agendas with different lenses. I became more literate in terms of technology and gaining different information over the internet, old habits may die hard but it can easily be improved by earning proper knowledge and further discussions. With its step by step strategies and types of analysis, approaching problems, things that needed to be answered in the most best way possible, giving out recommendations and unbiased, truthful opinions are now easier to do.

Additionally, Global networks or Globalization rather proved that economies may work together in order to achieve a certain goal. Businesses and Politics are under this topic for it actively joins specific organization, countries, nations and people. It is interesting how there is a difference between cooperation and collaboration, it proves that influencers have powers over the other and some may also work together in transactions and organizations. Internet connectivity is also an integral part of networking since it connects you with people all around the word, and with this; it plays a big part to reach with people all around the world.

Overall, looking back to what I’ve learned with the subject of Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking. I can definitely say that the subject will help me analyze and approach certain situations and problems that may occur in the future. We should often not look and approach something without pondering well and simply giving opinions that doesn’t help at all. We should look at the different lenses and claim it with proper investigations.
