Who's That Critical Thinker Blog A

Critical thinking gives many cognitive and intellectually skills to identify, analyze, and evaluate the truth in certain claims and arguments. Critical thinking helps organize personal opinions and issues between two people in order to come up with some conclusion to their arguments. It also helps you make reasonable, intelligent decisions that will greatly affect you and others around you. A critical thinker has an open mind to the different possibilities of things. Not so much as thinking outside of the box but more taking what is already being said and thinking of scenarios of what would happen if they applied it in a certain way. So to me a critical thinker is more thinking of the bigger picture of an issue rather than limiting it to one aspect of that certain issue. Critical thinking is important because it helps people as a whole with understanding, creating, and criticizing arguments that can change the world. It is also important because it helps working men and women by helping them solve problems, think creatively, and communicate their ideas to their co-workers. Critical thinking is beneficial to everyone in many ways, whether it’s in problem solving, voicing opinions, create ideas, preventing disasters, fixing mistakes, and organizing issues in order to come together with a conclusion or agreement to any issues that may occur. Critical thinking has also helped me in many ways as well. In my English class all we do is think critically. We had to think critically when writing essays in a narrative formative, argumentative form, or any of the styles of writing. I remember we had to write a compare and contrast essay about an issue of our chose. I choose to do my essay on music and its influence on children. I had to think in a critical way in order to not only voice my thoughts about the topic but also give valid and supportive arguments of why I felt the way I did about the issue.
