critical thinking

Explain how many influences (such as the internet, television, books, family, and
teachers) can, in some cases, be an active influence on our thought, and, in other
cases, would be considered a passive influence on our thought. And that was to identify influences on your thought that can be both ACTIVE and PAASIVE, but in different settings or different circumsantces, and then explain how (that they are sometimes an active influence and that they are sometimes a passive influence) that happens.
