Final Reflection on Metacognition

The most meaningful concept that I have learned so far in global is metacogmition, thinking about why we think about things. I related this to every single article that we have read in class, because when I read them, or viewed a case study I had a reaction. Whether the reaction was good or bad, global has taught me to think about why I feel that way. A specific example is the OJ trial. From the beginning I felt that OJ was guilty. I didn't know why, but through metacognition I explored my feelings on the subject. And figured out my reasoning behind my feelings of his guilt, was that I had previously been biased because of his image, and my parents strong belief that he was in fact guilty. Upon finding this out I was able to realize that I need to examine all evidence and situations before making up my mind.
