Introduction
Every activity we undertake daily is usually the products of our thinking. The success in any activity is dependent on how we view, analyze and think about it before drawing a conclusion. The way people approach different problems may vary even when they share same abilities.
The arguments are usually influenced by internal and external factors which may make the thinking biased. Making good arguments on challenges that faces one in all aspects of life is the key to success. This paper seeks to analyze the various thinking styles making comparison and contrast analysis on fair-minded, emotionalist and creative thinking styles.
Creative, Fair-minded and emotional thinking
Thinking involves various activities and analysis before giving out the answer to a problem. Mostly the aspects involved are questioning, thinking broadly, reasoning clearly, organizing the thinking and synthesizing. When one is thinking on an issue, it is usually good to accommodate new ideas and visualize the possible consequences of a problem that may arise and thus prepare for means of minimizing the negative impacts (Jarvis, 2006).
Some thinking may be biased to one side due to some interests or failure. Fair-minded thinkers usually listen to all the opinions available and analyze them before giving results which are usually fair. This type of thinking is very useful and is able to overcome some challenges.
There are decisions made from thinking based on personal emotions; this is usually referred to as emotional thinking. Emotional thinking is very dangerous as the results provided are usually biased. Creative thinking is thinking that brings forth new and different ways of approaching issues (Moser, 2002). This usually leads to new problem solving techniques.
The different types of thinking have their strengths and weaknesses. The opinion of people on a given issue is usually different with respect to others. The best approach is usually to take critical analysis of all of them as well as checking on the possible consequences.
