Barriers to Critical Thinking and Problems of High Dynamic and Behavioral Complexity

Abstract

While addressing problems of high dynamic and behavioral complexity is a challenge by themselves, the challenge is further complicated by the presence of barriers to critical thinking.  It is suggested that understanding and acknowledging these barriers to critical thinking is necessary in order to develop resolutions that are acceptable to society for complex problems.  Four potential approaches are presented for undertaking a determination of a variety of barriers to critical thinking.
