I introduced the topic of critical thinking to Josh this evening, defining inductive and deductive reasoning for him. While Josh had some trouble with this at first, I gave him the example of juxtaposing Dr. Seuss and Shakespeare to demonstrate how, based on inductive reasoning, we can use certain instances to draw specific conclusions. Here, the conclusion that Josh came to was that by comparing Dr. Seuss and Shakespeare, Epic Rap Battles pointed to a skewed paradigm in our society where Dr. Seuss can be just as valued as Shakespeare in literature.
