Why should you be conscientious about critical thinking?

Since ancient times, many specialists and scholars have written and spoken about constructive criticism and destructive criticism, and what are the differences between them and the differences, depending on who the “target group” is directed to, and its type, place and time, which are very many, and talking about them now introduces us into multiple, diverse, historical and modern approaches .

But today I wonder! Can there be cash of any kind without thinking? Which is a mental process that we use in all aspects of our lives automatically, so the problem lies in the amount and efficiency of our abilities in our use of the activity of our minds, and our skills that we have acquired during the course of our lives, even if the basic thinking skills such as “remembering”.

While the higher critical thinking skills we use in order to expand the perceptions of our minds, creativity and constructive criticism, make decisions, solve problems, and through them we are more effective, efficient and wise, then we are close to reaching the characteristics of a critical thinker.

Which, in turn, is based on accuracy, credibility, logicality, verification, investigation, reliability, scientific evidence and proofs, about a specific issue, issue, or topic, analysis, clarification, putting forward assumptions, knowing different points of view before issuing judgments, and avoiding selfishness and personal judgment.

Among the personal qualities that bring us to the stage of critical thinking, the first is honesty with ourselves, learning from our mistakes, and putting ourselves in the place of others. From it, the skills of a critical thinker develop into behavior, and the capabilities of our mind and emotions improve by “identifying our feelings” and developing our abilities and skills for dialogue and communication with others.

In our focus on the higher critical thinking skills in our lives, we move away from false judgments, troubles and drawing negative stereotypes that are easily ingrained in our minds and hearts. This is what we witness and follow a lot through the media and communication and in our daily lives and behaviors, and our use of social networking sites is increasing.

The basic and higher critical thinking skills together contribute to building individual and societal awareness through the media and communication, and then we avoid misinformation, poisoning, and media incitement. what does he say? What is the method used? for whom? The target group, and what is the purpose of the message that the sender wants to instill in our minds and hearts.
