What is Critical Thinking
In: 1151
I prefer to phrase it as thinking critically. That means you’re thinking through something with the intention of a person who is evaluating the idea from all angles.
Think like a critic, defined ‘as a person who expresses an unfavorable opinion of something.
“critics say many schools are not prepared to handle the influx of foreign students”‘
We all have biases and ideas based on information or lack of information that we have. So turning that over and seeing it from a different way is how you understand the issue in a more rounded way.
There is also this definition of critic: .
a person who judges the merits of literary, artistic, or musical works, especially one who does so professionally.
“a film critic”
What are the merits of your topic? What are the demerits? Movie critics do not just look at the good things. They compare the movie to their expectations and what they know about other movies or the cast or the director.
I believe thinking critically is a useful skill.
