Critical thinking.

Well, I do make every attempt at doing just those things. Once in awhile my emotions do over ride my better judgment, but only on issues I feel passionately about. I think sometimes emotions are a good thing. They need to be put into perspective, but not entirely subdued or ignored. We have them for a reason after all. No one can claim to ALWAYS think critically. Critical thinking is taught in schools but not consistently or by qualified teachers. And its negated by the social engineering that exists side by side with it. How can children be taught to think critically when history texts are rewritten, and teachers have them singing songs of praise to the NWO and Obama? Globalism is not my idea of thinking things through to its logical conclusion.

Yes, I am a critical thinker and the British education system, based on dialectic principles fosters the same, compared with the more didactic methods employed in US and elsewhere. That is not to say, however, that sufficient emphasis is placed on critical thinking here, more could be done, though that would require more money of course. all the best urban

I think most times I am critically thinking about every and anything or that could be just the simple thing of not critically thinkin but rather over thinking things. I do ask questions repeatedly over from religion money to jobs to life. It's our nature I believe to ask questions that relect and are around our lives. But I am one that in those questions I do tend to get my emotions mixed into the results and I feel my emotions is what helps my thinking process or make me over think things. I do have a low tolerance for anybody as well. But I am pretty open mindful of everything. But I also have some strong view points on certain items such as relgion and children as do a lot of people. I think in schools they do make you think critically but I don't believe to extremes to cause issues in school or at home. Schools tend to like to stay out of those issues. But maybe.. I'm more of an overthinker than a critical thinker.

Interesting! Naturally, I think I am a critical thinker because I am quite a curious gal. I am also wondering all the time and do like to analyze and observe. I think it is important to do to make good decisions and to get to know myself better.. to understand myself and my life better. What about you?

It depends on the subject. Most times I'm not really a critical thinker but when it comes to topics of my interest, I become one. These topics are the ones where I just ask a lot of questions mainly to gain knowledge of the whole thing. Most cases though, I just simply nod my head and look interested.

Critical thinking and schools? What an odd combination. What one learns in schools is how to mug and get good marks. Once out everything is forgotten. Critical thinking comes when one is thrown into the deep sea without knowing swimming. That is the place where critical thinking will be of utmost use. This is just an example. Coming to the real issue it is sad but true that there are only a few who get to go by the norms defined by you. Going off the beaten track is hardly appreciated where one has to risk being ostracised. And when it is a survival issue one would rather tow the line rather than think for oneself and come out with grandiose ideas. Got it?

I am the critical thinker in some situations only. Sometimes i can't able to stopped for that kind of thinking. So many of friend giving the idea,please to avoid over thinking at the decision taking time.
