Critical Thinking
Introduction
In our lives, there must be a time where we may face problems. Problems will occur if we do not have the right strategy or solution. So, how are we going to solve it? Well, there are no specific solutions that I can explain here but there are some ways that can help us to create the correct and fast solution to solve our problems. One of the ways is to think critically.
Thinking is a good process but thinking alone will not help us to develop our minds. That is when critical thinking may take place. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Using critical thinking one makes a decision or solves the problem of judging what to believe or what to do. It helps us to build our confidence in making decisions. The intellectual values such as accuracy, good reasons, depth, breadth, consistency, precision and fairness also characterize critical thinking. It means that a critical thinker also shows good internal values besides thinking outside the box only.
Critical thinking is used by almost everyone. Many great and famous philosophers including Al-Kindi, Avicenna and Ibn Rushd even apply critical thinking in their lives. They have used it to help them in their methods, works and ideas. In this assignment we will know more about the background of these people and how they use it . We will also see on how critical thinking has changed from time to time. There are new theories about critical thinking and what are the developments and initiatives that had been done with it.
