Your readings discuss heuristics and cognitive biases which affect our thinking, reasoning, and decision-making processes.
Develop one or two paragraphs that presents a one-sided, simplified argument about some psychological issue - like having a fixed, absolute opinion. Examples you could use are:
a) low self-esteem is the cause of bullying,
b) parenting/nurture is more important than nature,
c) repressed memory/ memory recall claims are always accurate,
d) low self-esteem is the cause of low academic success, or some other absolute argument.
How did you use language, wording, and terminology to frame or present your fixed, one-sided opinion or argument?
What biases or mental short cuts were used in your explanations?
If you were presented with this argument, how could you refute the biases and suggest a more balanced explanation?
