All about Critical Thinking
Critical thinking means asking questions and checking information carefully rather than believing everything you see or hear. It helps you judge whether a claim is true, whether evidence is reliable and whether a source can be trusted.
Good questions to ask include who said this, how do they know, what evidence supports it, and is there another point of view? Critical thinking helps you make better decisions and avoid being misled by advertisements, rumours or fake news.
