Not everything you read or see is true.  Facts, data, etc. are useless without being interpreted.  The problem with interpretation is the fact that humans are the ones doing the interpreting.  Regardless of how hard you try to remain objective, your analysis of anything will be biased.  Your age, gender, political beliefs, childhood experiences, etc., do not simply vanish when interpreting something.  Keep that in mind as you critique your classmate’s responses in the discussion posts.  You can, however, analyze sources critically.  By asking key questions like: Why did the author create this?  Who was the intended audience?  What was the background of the creator?  Finally, your critical thinking skills will be enhanced significantly if you attempt to interpret the object/document from a perspective other than your own (i.e., How would a person from a different region interpret this?  How would a wealthy man/woman interpret this? etc.).
