imo, part of critical thinking involves "fighting" with the norm and questioning things around you; to not accept things at face value just because that is the way you've been taught since you were born...to look at things with a questionable eye and try to figure out why they are taught that way.
Hmm that does seem to make more sense. But I do believe he did really thing that 12pm should be 12am and 12am/12pm. But that makes more sense. Thank you.
The spoonfingers were fun.
Thanks for answering my question! ^_^ I really appreciate it.
I suspsect that your teacher just wanted you to think critically about arbitrary words. Noon is a fairly arbitrary word, because it doesn't have any other meaning in our language (though wikipedia tells me the etymology) midnight, however, is not an arbitrary word...it means "middle of the night" so we can all assume that no one is trying to brainwash anyone...at least not on this subject.
Okay. Three things.
1) I love your shirt
2) And I love the strange aluminum hat
3) And what the heck is that bizzare thumping noise?! It's creeping me out!!
