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.

      When we think critically we are able to compare both the merits and demerits of the options that we have available, which is used to show that we have extra options than we previously thought.

      People will and can manipulate you. They will do this at least if you take everything for granted and letting other people do the thinking for us. Take a look at the adverts to see the most recent trendy diets or miraculous drugs – all of these take advantage of peoples ignorance and desperation to buy anything which is not useful and can become hazardous. If we critically evaluate information (particularly the information that is meant to sell products), we learn how not to fall into the waiting traps of people and companies who are unethical.

      It makes you as somebody that is better paid and employable. In offices, the best employees know how to find solutions to existing problems, while also helping to solve problems that nobody imagined. For you to get a great position after your graduation, you will be like these employees, while critical thinking is an essential factor when trying to solve new and difficult problems.

      People who think critically are most sought after in work places since companies are out to get better and educated solutions. Furthermore, thinking critically at the workplace helps us to:
