Problem:
"Not the world, not what's outside of us, but what we hold inside traps us. We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world."--Gabor Maté...In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
Begin by summarizing Maté's argument, as you understand it. Then, offer an analysis of the argument that he asserts. Do you agree with what he says? If so, why? If not, why not? Can you think of specific examples from your own experiences that help to illustrate Maté's point? Are there any problems or flaws in Maté's argument? If so, what are they and how/why are they problematic? Finally, how does his argument offer a sense of what critical thinking is?
