A critical thinker will probably purchase the Jeep because it’s the sensible choice. Critical thinking provides a solid framework for collecting and evaluating data and helps you make decisions based on logic and not assumption. It enables you to take on the information, sum it up, choose your theory and argument, communicate and justify the view you have formed, and then construct and execute a plan of brilliance.

Critical thinking promotes success and provides you with an intellectual approach to information that can be very valuable and it is very much expected of a university
