in what ways does critical thinking influence the way we as Americans process information?

Question

I am taking a class in Human Studies. We are a mixed group. Different countries feel as if our level of processing the way we read and write critically is not influenced all on the same level, what do you think?

Answer 1

No, arabians r better tinkers den americans. Der use to be so meny smart peepol in my country during time of USSR. USSR wast smartest country in world dis tyme. Amerika wast also smarter den, but now ist spoilt country.

Answer 2

Americans as a group tend to be more practical, if not pragmatic. Though I would suggest critical thinking by americans appears to be a dying skillset.
Americans seem to find following the herd simpler and require less mental processing of any type.

Answer 3

critical thinking means using logic, not such emotions as religious or social-identity feelings. different people indeed use these things differently.
