Critical Thinking #4

Lets see junk thoughts and distractions...I think the more interesting aspect would be to talk about distractions. Especially considering the fact that junk thoughts are just not that interesting or relevant to me. Anyways, a culture of distractions...so relevant to myself but I believe also for America. It is too easy to be distracted with so many things in life that differ things like homework, work, and even sleep. People would rather be distracted with what is on TV then get their responsibilities to get done. I think that distractions really add to procrastination. People would rather put off, which can be most important to them to the very last moment possible. I think that this is a problem for America because things dont get done. Also, since this nations culture is pretty much run by the young, it is constantly thrown around through distractions which leads to hurried work in every aspect of life in America. I think that people need to start focusing more on whats important, even though it is made so difficult in America.

I'm not really sure as to what junk thought is, my best guess is ideas or behaviors your participate in that make no sense or make you as a person look bad. The thoughts are worthless, and unable to be used in everyday life. My best guess to worthless thoughts would be thoughts that you have that no one agrees with or the person isn't even very confident in. If the thought is taken into consideration and proven wrong, the person who made the thought may try to avoid being claimed for the junk thought. If this is set to be true, I think that life should be about trial and error with experiences, so if a person was to have one of these thoughts, they should be proud to stick by their thoughts. If a person doesn't have confidence in trying something new or doing something out of the unordinary, then how can they excel in the future?
