    Study Notes

    Critical Thinking

    • Critical thinking is the ability to approach problems or situations using rational considerations.
    • It requires analyzing all known information based on facts or evidence instead of opinions or emotions.
    • Critical thinking often relies on empathy, the ability to view the world from someone else's perspective.
    • This skill involves putting yourself in someone else's shoes, which improves teamwork and cooperation.
    • Effective critical thinking requires extra effort to recognise what you know about a subject. This forms an initial knowledge base for consideration.
    • When someone applies this approach to his or her own life, it emphasizes finding prejudices and preconceived notions. This helps in determining the cause of a problem and avoid emotional responses that could prevent self-improvement.
    • Critical thinking is used in many situations, such as debates. Debate team members frequently use open-mindedness and empathy to help them work better with others.
