Thinking
Beings
Thinking is an important part of our human experience and one
that has captivated people for centuries. Thinking skills are the
mental activities you use to process information, make connections,
make decisions, and create new ideas. You
use your thinking skills when you try to make sense of experiences,
solve problems, make decisions, ask questions, make plans, or
organize information.
“cogito ergo sum”
Rene Descartes
"I think therefore I exist” which he meant that we
human beings, whether we liked it or not, whether we
choose it or not, whether we doubt it or not, we think.

Why do we think?
may be functionally answered by sciences like
psychology, biology and physics

Analysis
deliberate, abstract, and effortful thinking that
breaks down a complex problem into parts.

Deliberate thinking employs a detailed

examination of a problem to come up with a
solution.

This involves looking at the context of

the problem. The amount of time and
resources are the primary factors in
strategic analysis.

It is another approach to decision-making.

in Social Networks
Networks
(Arzadon et.al., 2017)

Political networks
are composed of relations with government officials,
student government, and community leaders, among others

economic networks
cover the manufacturers, agents, and
sellers of the goods you consume such as those in stores,

 Social
Networks
Kinship ties, neighborhood associations, friendship clubs, and
veterans’ associations also belong to the social network
wherein people constantly engage in close communication and
interaction through visits, phone calls, text messages, and
activities of common
interest.

Social networks appear as clusters and

support groups of people who share
similar interests, backgrounds, and real-life
connections. They are avenues for
meeting new friends, reuniting with old and
lost friends, exchanging gifts and favors,
and developing cooperation
 Community
The community is home to this web of
interrelations and
interconnections of people and institutions.

refers to a particular geographic location with people living

under the same set of laws and recognizing common leaders.
Studies of community linkages deal usually with who was
seen interacting with whom.
 Center of Influence
This is
the person to whom people gravitate around.
This person who can give favors, can
command and make things happen.

His or her influence transcends the boundaries of social

networks and thus reaches other kinds of networks. A center
of influence has many people and institutions attached to him
or her, thereby creating a substantial influence in the
community.
