Critical Thinking: Logic Versus Flawed Perception
Look up the definition of the words "think" and "thinking" in the dictionary and you will find a myriad of answers ranging from the practice of reasoning to how we see the world around us. The common theme, if a bit simplistic, is that in thinking, we use our minds to gather and process information, stimuli, or ideas. Critical thinking, however, is much more complex and involved in that it is a process in which we actively question and evaluate the data we gather to form a conclusion based on logic and reason.
