Reading Log Week 6:

Future Thinking

# Gardner, 2007, ‘Minds Viewed Globally: A Personal Introduction’ in Five Minds For the Future, Harvard Business School Press, Boston, ch.1.

The five minds of thinking: disciplined thinking, synthesizing thinking, creative thinking, respectful thinking and ethical thinking.

Gardner looked at the many different ways in which we as humans process and learn new information, and just how we use it in certain situations such as in the work force. Although I found the reading long and the last notes a little confusing. What Gardner had to say about the different way in which we all learn to work was rather interesting.

If I was to place myself into a category I feel that not only would I, but most of us in this course would place ourselves under a creating mind set, as this stream was best suited for those studying or working in the fields of the arts.

These mindsets are not something knew, but are just something that we are unaware of. From the day we were able to being to think for ourselves, we have always thought in a certain matter. We have always considered one of the following whether it be disciplined because we know from our parents that’s not the way we go about archiving goals. Or whether it be creatively, as we have been always pushed to consider outside the box from a young age in primary school. No matter what path of thinking we have chosen it is a direct relation to one of the five above whether we are aware of it or not.
