White Noise
, by Don DeLillo
"I was convinced she was saying something, fitting together units of stable meaning. I watched her face, waited. Ten minutes passed. She uttered two clearly audible words, familiar and elusive at the same time, words that seemed to have a ritual meaning, part of a verbal spell or ecstatic chant. Toyota Celica. A long moment passed before I realized this was the name of an automobile. The truth only amazed me more. The utterance was beautiful and mysterious, gold-shot with looming wonder. It was like the name of an ancient power in the sky, tablet-carved in cuneiform. It made me feel that something hovered. But how could this be? A simple brand name, an ordinary car. How could these near-nonsense words, murmured in a child’s restless sleep, make me sense a meaning, a presence? She was only repeating some TV voice. Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, Toyota Cressida. Supranational names, computer-generated, more or less universally pronounceable. Part of every child’s brain noise, the substatic regions to deep to probe. Whatever its source, the utterance struck me with the impact of a moment of splendid transcendence. I depend on my children for that."

Answer:
The lowest level of thinking skills is remembering, and the highest is creating. To envision that, let’s compare reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (remember level) to composing meaningful lyrics to add to it (create level). You would invest quite a bit of effort when learning and remembering the pledge. But you would eventually commit it to memory so that reciting it would be easy. Composing lyrics, on the other hand, would always require the same high level of thought because you’re creating something new each time you compose. If you are asked to organize a number of CDs by the artist’ name, you would naturally employ thinking at the level of understanding. Thinking at the level of understanding for this task allows you to first recognize you must use the alphabet to place the CDs in order. Second, you will use your ability to compare artist names to determine where they will be placed in relation to all other CDs. Critical thinking is the process of questioning assumptions and exploring possibilities. Critical thinking is necessary when you judge, evaluate, or compare a topic as long as you do so in a reasonable and reflective way.
This answer only includes 1:remember 2:understand 5:evaluate and 6:create
