Critical Thinking Is More than Common Sense

When asking a group of high school graduates such as "who is the first American president" or "what is the relationship with Pythagorean theorem", most students answer correctly. However, if someone else issues "Why the Civil War Occurs?" Or "Why is International Trade Relationship with Other Countries Important to the United States?", Only fragmentary responses will be obtained. .

Critical and analytical thinking is not easy, there may be obstacles within itself, such as being unable to see things from multiple observers and being unable to doubt the usual things . Common sense is frequently questioned or challenged in academic fields, but it is difficult to do this in a deep-rooted community of teachings of religion and culture. Critical and analytical thinking is most needed when information appears every second from every direction. As long as we understand new things, we should be in this model. Whoever has the same opportunity to say the wrong words, no matter who is in that social position, we can not rely on who sent the news to judge the truth. First of all, it is necessary to consider the criticism and analysis of information, the listing of possible problems, the discovery of evidence, the determination of arguments, and finally the derivation of conclusions to judge whether the given information is true or false Yes.

Whatever the way you see the worldview and someone's love, I always believe that they will critically think as they cultivate the right and wrong sense, truth and falsehood, faithfulness and deception. However, their conclusion may be more dependent on their information-based approach than specific information sources. Currently, conversations about fact checking are shifting to imply that there is only one fact. We must recognize that many students are taught to have the only method legally recognized, that is, to have an acknowledged world view. This is particularly noisy at the university level, so our professor never learned to transcend epistemological professors.

I do not know what to do. No one taught me critical thinking. I am not at school, of course I am not at home. However, I live in an era when critical thinking is diminished more than ever and inversely proportional to the need for survival. There are lots of false news and Facebook people like me make it even worse by disseminating it without the idea of ​​"clear, reasonable, open" "to provide information through evidence" It was. I went to the competition quickly - please copy and paste; but before sending "small" whisper, "check Snopes first". This is my critical thinker. I went to www.snopes.com and found a statement "Unverified". Uh. Regardless of whether it is true, I will continue to read it. The real part is that "a component-only hotline connects the speaker to Ryan's homeland personal phone, but no one else will connect." The incomplete part is that he blocked the fax number. Snoops said, "Fax numbers seem to be connected correctly, and there was no evidence that all phones in his office are blocked."
