Study Notes

Critical Thinking

The origin of the word 'critical' is from the Greek word 'kritikos', meaning "able to discern".
Critical thinking involves actively analyzing information, identifying patterns and biases, and developing well-supported arguments.
Skills that assist in developing critical thinking include analysis, evaluation, and inference, but NOT curiosity.
Critical thinking is different from creative thinking in that critical thinking involves evaluating information to form a judgment, whereas creative thinking involves generating new ideas.
Critical thinking involves identifying and challenging assumptions, recognizing and avoiding logical fallacies, and considering multiple perspectives.

Note: Some of the questions had similar answers, so I condensed the information to avoid repetition.
