============
Critical thinking is a process which takes place in the mind of
an individual. It analyzes or evaluates information, which can
either be in the form of propositions or statements provided to
you as true. But you never easily believe it is true, thus you
reflect on it, thoroughly examine the reasons and evidences
before you formulate your own judgment about the information.
Every day, there is a lot of information that an individual may
learn. For prehistoric man and animals, this information was
considered firsthand. It includes the things that they see,
touch, hear, smell, and taste. This firsthand information
provides an access to secondhand information. Second hand
information is another type of information most encountered by
today's generation.
This information is stored in your brain, and later on, being
called as memories. If it is combined with cognitive framework,
then it becomes a worldview. Worldview can affect every decision
that you will make. Thus in different ways, it defines your
personality. Take note, the information which created your
worldview has an origin.
The information which you have learned is all secondhand. It
came from your parents, friends, teachers, books, television,
or conversation. This vast majority of data which bombarded you
will give you a hard time in identifying its original source.
You are then challenged by even a single piece of data in your
head. So, you will vehemently argue to justify your side. But
then, it will be difficult since you don't have any idea of its
original source. You will then doubt whether the information was
correct or not since you have no evidence that will corroborate
it. However, it is the usual way that you are going to defend
any challenge on the information that you have learned. It is
despite your lack of justification.
Compared to the information received by your prehistoric
ancestors, information being given today is really very
different. Considering the mass media, it has the power to
create a virtual disharmony among the minds of many people.
Take for example some of the advertisements. It is very far
from unprejudiced information yet many people are letting it to
slip in their minds. Then, it will influence future decisions
that will change the direction of your life. Be careful,
information today is a matter of a shouting game where you
immediately tend to believe. If whoever tell you a bit of
information in the longest and the loudest way, you may
eventually accept it as true regardless of its merit.
This approach seems to be poor. Since all the collaged
information in your mind sometimes have no basis at all. So,
the created viewpoint might also have a weaker foundation. No
matter how important a viewpoint to a person is, where he or
she based most of life's major decisions or even just a single
decision is considered to be crafted.
These explanations focus on how critical thinking happens.
Critical thinkers gather the information from experience,
observation, communication, or reasoning. Then by incorporating
critical thinking on the acquired information, the person can
extract intellectual values on the subject-matter. They study
each division including accuracy, clarity, precision,
thoroughness, fairness, and evidence. It is very important
because it decreases the risks of believing false ideas which
can result to fatal errors.
Critical thinking just responds to various situations and
subjects so that connections between them could be found.
