Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a way of thinking about particular things at a


particular time; it is not the accumulation of facts and knowledge or
something that you can learn once and then use in that form forever.

Someone with critical thinking skills can:

 Understand the links between ideas.

 Determine the importance and relevance of arguments and


ideas.

 Recognize inconsistencies and errors in reasoning

 Approach problems in a consistent and systematic way.

 Reflect on the justification of their own assumptions, beliefs and


values.

We all act critically in our everyday lives. We don't simply accept


gossip and random information and we certainly shouldn't accept
everything we see on TV or in the media as true and authoritative. It
is vital in our everyday lives to be able to question why people are
saying things to us be it the government, our friends or the
advertising industry. If we accepted everything we heard and read
and saw, without question, we would be open to constant abuse and
manipulation. To buy what we really need, to vote for who we really
support and to befriend those who truly care for us we have to think
critically.
