9V: Critical Thinking



Critical thinking is the action of analyzing the deeper meanings and explanations behind things rather than just accepting the information introduced to you with no questions asked. It’s often excluded because sometimes people rather avoid the effort and just go along with the opinions offered by others.

One of the new words I encountered this week is ambivalent. It means to have mixed feelings on an issue or to be doubtful or uncertain. This can relate to critical thinking because if you have doubts about something then you can further investigate it so that you can make a well informed decision.
  Another word I learned this week is gregarious. It means to be very social, outgoing and friendly.
