There are three levels of thought. The three different levels of thought are: Naive, Selfish and Fair-minded.
The naive level of thought is basically the characteristic of people who don’t care about their own thinking. This kind of person has the thought, that they already understand something without thinking about it. A naive person will believe most everything they see or hear. Generally a person with a naive level of thought won’t voice his or her own opinions and go along with the flow, or do as a friend does.
Naive thinkers always have some sort of excuse to not thinking for themselves as well, and have someone do everything for them. A naive person commonly will not question things and because of this they won’t learn anything or truly understand a subject. As stated in the video an example of a naive person is a girl doing homework. She doesn’t care to understand the subject.
Instead of asking questions, she’ll cry and make an excuse as to why she can’t do it and her father does it for her. In turn, she has learned nothing.The selfish thinking level is very self-centered. Selfish thinkers are good at thinking but not fair.
Generally with selfish thinkers the individuals are not very honest and quick to try to manipulate by telling people what they want to hear, even though it may hold no truth. Selfish thinkers often times say they can’t, but in their mind know they can. Being a selfish thinker also means you believe what you want, and not necessarily have anything to back it with. Selfish thinkers know they can always trick someone if they know how to do it right.An example of a selfish thinker as stated in the video is the boy who argued with his parents about his bedtime.
By arguing and telling his parents something that was not true, he manipulated them into letting him stay up to 11 o’clock. Fair-minded thinkers are good thinkers and genuinely care about others. Fair-minded thinkers think a lot because they want to understand the subject at hand. Generally fair-minded thinkers care about other’s point of view as well as their own.Fair-minded thinkers don’t always believe what they see or hear.
They will question things to better understand them and learn their true meaning. Fair-minded thinkers, think of others and want to be treated with the same respect they have for others. An example of a fair-minded thinker from the video is the girl watching TV. Her sister wanted to watch a show that was on at the same time as hers. After asking why and what show was on, she found that her sister actually needed to watch the TV show for her homework, and let her watch it.
