Critical Thinking

For my critical thinking piece I chose to use the first essay assigned. This was the essay asking what we thought had the most influnece on someones sence of self-identity. I chose this paper because when I think of critical thinking I think of someone using both common sense and school smarts. I feel as though I used both of those while writing this paper. I said that I thought the people we surround ourselves with is the biggest influence on our self-identities. I feel that way because when you spend alot of time with a group of people or just one person you tend to unheirate some of the same personality traits and interests they have.
