Choose a concept you learned in this section of the course that changed your thinking in an important manner. Then write short essay beginning with one of the following prompts:

"Although most people believe.....in fact...."

or

"Although I believed ..... in fact"

In your essay explain why you or most people hold the faulty belief. That is what is logical about it--even if it is faulty. Then explain what is a better view. Finally, explain why this difference matters. For this last step it may be helpful to use an example that shows why holding the incorrect belief causes an important result.
