Applying Critical Thinking

For me using critical thinking to be a more successful student means a couple different things. The first is applying what I am learning in class to my everyday life. What’s the purpose of learning all these new information and strategies if I am not willing to apply them when needed. Critical thinking is a problem solving strategies to me. It means trying to analyzing the problem and finding the best solution for it. Everyone comes across problems on a daily base and when you apply critical thinking it gives you the best outcomes. The last way I use critical thinking to be a better student is by analyzing the information I come across on a daily base. There’s so much false information out there and you really need to learn how to differentiate
them form the truth. Whether if it’s doing a research assignment or trying to find the best treatment for a cold at home. The three step for using critical thinking to becoming a better student in my opinion would be, being opened minded, analyzing the information you receive and to put it in action. Critical thinking can help improve your personal life when it comes to communication with family, friends and processers. Knowing the best way to communicate with different individuals will help you get your point across much easier. Another way critical thinking can help you in your personal life is, when evaluating your life in general, determining what’s important and what’s not. Critical thinking makes you more self-ware. Being self-ware helps you to evaluated your weakness and strengths. That helps when determining big life decisions. Last but not least, critical thinking helps one to be more opened minded. When you have an open minded I believe your happier. You are opened to new ideas, different cultures and people. When expose to different people and ideas your learning and building your on to your knowledge.
