Critically Thinking about Your Products

One of the educational goals at PCC is to help students become more conscientious citizens who understand the importance of sustainable lifestyle choices. As you have hopefully discovered by now, the concepts of this class should not be limited to the classroom. Critical Thinking is a course designed to help you become better equipped to make reasonable, well-informed decisions in every aspect of your life.

Now is your opportunity to apply the skills learned in this course to something you do almost every day: morning grooming with various grooming, hygiene, or cosmetic products. For many Americans, morning is the time at which they are exposed to the most toxins, and morning is the time at which they consume the most products that may be harmful to other people, animals, and the environment. This assignment is an opportunity for you to learn about one grooming/hygiene/cosmetic product you use while you get ready for your day.

Phil 1A Final Argumentative Essay Prompts 1.  In some ways, Freud represents a break from Enlightenment notions of subjectivity (Descartes). While Enlightenment thinkers argue that the self is a thing that is within us when we are born and that follows us throughout our lives, Freud argues that the self is something that develops upon encountering the outside world, particularly the immediate familial relationships that make up the Oedipus Complex. Write an essay where you take a position on this debate. Do you agree with Enlightenment thinkers on the nature of the self or do you find Freuds theory of how the subject develops more convincing? Why? Give examples to support your thesis.
