Andrew T. Brough

Colorado Tech University Online

Abstract
The Socratic Method helps Leaders use critical thinking to their advantage to Influence and persuade other people. Using the
Socratic Method one can lead an Opponent to draw a conclusion that contradicts his own viewpoint according to Tucker, A.
(2007) Leadership by the Socratic Method: Air & Space Power
Journal volume 21; Issue 2. My Career field in the Air Force is
Airfield Management. The Description to Airfield Management describes itself in the title. Due to The Lack of finances in
Today’s Air Force, Airfield Managers use critical thinking skills Prior to submitting a package when we request for finances to repair Airfield Discrepancies.

Critical Thinking in Airfield Management The first of the two things I have learned about APA style is as Follows.APA style is a format that helps prevent plagiarism. After All, the last thing we should not want to do is take credit for ones Words or ideas. In the event one is accused of Plagiarism it can lead to a writer 's loss of credibility and professional standing Purdue Owl. (2007).

Critical thinkers like to proclaim that their intellectual ancestry reaches straight back to Socrates (Whitaker, 2003) Critical thinking in the tower Ivory. This method of writing will eliminate confusion, help us better organize our thoughts, and obtain a better understanding of what we are trying to get across in a conversation.

Airfield Management is my choice of career field in the Air

    The first men to ever play basketball were a bit skeptical of the game to begin with, and basketball was seen as just “[a]nother new game” (Fox 15). However, author Larry Fox says, “The game was an immediate success … Word of the game began to spread around the campus. Before long the secretaries found themselves playing in front of an audience of fellow students”…

    James Naismith was the creator of basketball. He created it in 1891 to condition young athletes in the winter. The “hoop” was a peach basket and the ball was a soccer styled ball. There were many rules for the new game. He created it in a YMCA gym in Springfield, Massachusetts. His team of eighteen was divided into two teams of nine and then the peach baskets were nailed above their heads. Every time one would score a basket, the game was stopped for the janitor to get up on a ladder and retrieve the ball. Later on, the bottoms of the “hoops” were taken out and they became a (sort of) real basket.…

    “The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy” by Bill Simmons, was a book only the Sports Guy could write. Save a few hundred pages for Simmons to inform the readers on how he became the basketball and Celtics fan he is today (hint: it was his dad choosing between a motorcycle and season tickets to the Celtics), why as a child he called himself Jabaal Abdul-Simmons, footnotes galore, his hatred for Isiah Thomas and Wilt Chamberlain, and many of the greatest “What-if’s” in basketball history. Other than that, Bill Simmons uses this behemoth of a book to indulge on his version of “The Secret” of basketball, winning championships, and gives his take on how the NBA Hall of Fame should be constructed. In a pyramid style ranking with five levels Bill Simmons has who he thinks should be where, as of 2009, and each level getting smaller and smaller due to the higher standard. It all ends with the 12 best of all time, sitting atop the pyramid like kings with Michael Jordan number one. Again there was no one other than Simmons to write this book. “You could dress me red, drop in into a Crips neighborhood, tell me that I have 12 minutes to start a high-caliber NBA conversation before somebody puts a cap in my ass...and I would…

    I am no professional at writing by any means, but I can get my thoughts and point across. I feel that two challenges that I will encounter while using the APA style would be plagiarism and writing style and format. I have noticed in the past when I was in college I tend to ramble a bit throughout my papers. I understand at this level more will be required of me and my out of my papers. Second, when it comes to plagiarism I understand it is crucial not to ever use anyones words other than your own at any point. Brushing up on my power phrasing skills is on the to do list. This way my words are clear and never misleading.…
