The Black Hat NEGATIVE Brainstorming Keep the problem/issue in your mind. Then put on the White thinking hat to approach the problem and orally discuss the following questions. What do we know about this issue? What don’t we know about this issue? What information do we need to solve this problem? Are there potential existing solutions that we can use to solve this The White Hat problem? FACTS Brainstorming Keep the problem/issue in your mind.

What will we achieve by solving the problem? What is the best method for going forward? The Blue Hat The Six Thinking Hats: Critical Thinking and Brainstorming for Better Problem Solving The white hat is like an unbiased and neutral detective who gathers, organizes, analyzes, and presents current information. This hat represents enthusiasm and optimism. Like a bright, sunny day, the yellow hat is used to bring positive energy and life to every idea. With the yellow thinking hat, you seek to find the benefits and value of ideas. The black hat is the opposite of the yellow hat and represents judgment. Wearers of this hat look for ways that the situation can go wrong. While you have the red thinking hat, your primary goal is to intuitively suggest proposals and plans of action based on feelings and hunches. This hat is open- minded and non-judgmental. Green hats are used for creative thinking. Wearing this hat lets you think outside the box to explore more possibilities and bend the rules of problem-solving. This creative thinking should be free from judgment and criticism. This hat provides a management role and will help you analyze the situation. The control hat, organizing thinking itself. Sets the focus, calls for the use of other hats. Monitors and reflects on the thinking processes used. Blue is for planning.

Needless to say, the oil spill was bigger than what Lebanon could handle alone. In fact, lacking the means and necessary equipment to treat such magnitude of pollution, the Lebanese authorities had to make an urgent appeal to the international community for assistance in this dreadful ecological crisis. 3. The ancient ports along the coast suffered the most as the 1. Refer to paragraph 3, identify three effects behind the oil spilled sticky fluid surrounded the fishing boats there.

Fishermen were also worried about their only source of living. “Without the sea, I can do nothing, I will be out of business," one of them said. "If you take the sea from a fisherman, he will die, like the fish." Officials from the Ministry of Tourism voiced their fear that the ecological disaster would hinder tourism for some years since most resorts are located along the coast. 4.

Due to destructive military operations that continued for weeks after the disaster, the oil spill was not contained immediately. It spread to the neighboring countries, causing a wider ecological disaster in the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea. What we are sure of now is that the marine life of many species, including the endangered green turtle, will suffer tremendously for several years to come. Nobody can tell what effect the oil spill will have on the future of tourism in the area and on man’s health. Post Reading Activity – Group Work The Red Hat Group 1.
