Answer 1

critical thinking is an active mode of thinking. Instead of just receiving messages and accepting them as is, we consider what they are saying. We ask if messages are well-supported. We determine if their logic is sound or slightly flawed. In other words, we act on the messages before we take action based on them. When we enact critical thinking on a message, we engage a variety of skills including: listening, analysis, evaluation, inference and interpretation or explanation, and self-regulation

Next, we will examine each of these skills and their role in critical thinking in greater detail. As you read through the explanation of and examples for each skill, think about how it works in conjunction with the others. It’s important to note that while our discussion of the skills is presented in a linear manner, in practice our use of each skill is not so straightforward. We may exercise different skills simultaneously or jump forward and backward.

A critical thinker doesn't always use the procedure of weighing the pros and cons. Weighing the

pros and cons will give you a good answer only in limited situations where you know the

important consequences of your potential actions and where you have enough time to consider

those consequences. In many situations, the best thinking requires taking shortcuts--making

quick guesses or relying on a trusted friend to make the decision for you.

Logical reasoners need to be flexible thinkers. For example, in a situation where you're playing

baseball and a friend yells "Duck!" it is illogical to spend much time searching around for good

reasons. The logical thing to do is to duck down immediately. Nevertheless, even in this

situation you didn't duck without a good reason. You know from previous experience that

"Duck" said in a certain tone of voice means that there is a danger to your head that requires

lowering it fast and protecting it from a sudden impact. You know not to stick your head up

andsay "Where's the duck?" Similarly, if someone were to run out of the Wells Fargo Bank

buildingshouting, "Look out, the bank is being robbed," it wouldn't be logical to spend much

time wondering what river bank the person is talking about. The point is that logical reasoners

assess what is said in light of the situation. That is all part of our common sense.

Be sensitive to the situation. If you happen to know what time it is when someone passes you

on the street and asks you, "Do you know the time?" it is illogical to answer only "Yes" and walk

away─ unless you are trying to irritate the person who asked the question.
