Morning Discussion: Errors of Procedure

Recently, major car manufacturers like BMW, Honda, and Volkswagen are recalling millions of cars made with Takata airbags. The automakers ignored standardized testing and safety procedures resulting in defects that lead to a whole mess of problems.

When making a conclusion on an opinion, we often make mistakes in procedure. In this meetup, we are bringing concepts learned in previous sessions to dissect numerous interpretations that fool us. Through some practical exercises, we will apply critical thinking strategies to recognize these errors and minimize invalid thought processes.

Some questions we will explore:

• What are the errors of procedure?
• What are the types of errors and how can we identify them?
• How do they affect your critical thinking?
• How can we eliminate these errors?

Our session will have a moderator but will remain rather casual and friendly for both newcomers and those passionate about critical thinking. Start your morning with engaging questions, meet new friends, and most fun of all... challenge your knowledge.
