What is critical thinking?

Answer 1

They claim it is to get you to try to think on your own in a rational way making sure to take in all the subjects. But most of the time it is getting you to believe you are thinking for your own when really all that has happened is that you are now thinking there way and believeing in there ideals.

Answer 2

Critical thinking consists of a mental process of analyzing or evaluating information, particularly statements or propositions that people have offered as true. It forms a process of reflecting upon the meaning of statements, examining the offered evidence and reasoning, and forming judgments about the facts.

Critical thinkers can gather such information from observation, experience, reasoning, and/or communication. Critical thinking has its basis in intellectual values that go beyond subject-matter divisions and which include: clarity, accuracy, precision, evidence, thoroughness and fairness.
