9V: Critical Thinking



http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/ani_thinkingcap.gif


What is critical thinking? Is it important? Is it important to college students? It is defined as "disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence".  Critical thinking can be used to improve your thinking skills by analyzing, assessing and reconstructing on any specific subject or problem. I believe that critical thinking is important for college students because the more they think about a certain subject and break it down into parts, then the more they will be knowledgeable and a better student. I think that everyone should learn how to think critically because it's a great skill to have and it will help you become a better student.

Other words I've learned that relate to critical thinking as well are:
Egocentrism:  concerned with the individual rather than society
Sociocentrism: a tendency to assume the superiority or rightness of one's own social group
