Introduction

Thinking Critically – Enhancing Our Thinking Process

Critical thinking is defined as a way of understanding information to get the best approach to a problem or a question. When we analyze our individual experience, communication, observation, and reasoning with other people, we are able to make educated decisions that will produce positive solutions.

The Importance of Critical Thinking

The importance that we get from thinking critically does not just stop with our college. In the real world, we are expected to think even more critically. This is since:

Thinking critically allows you to continually develop in a more intellectual manner after your graduation. Intellectual progress is not something that should stop after you graduate – learning should be continued as much as possible. The moment that you get new information, when you think critically, you will be able to evaluate this information and apply it.

It is useful when making hard decisions. I have written previously about how you can define your values to help you make decisions better. Thinking critically is equally important in the process of decision making.
