CRITICAL THINKING:
As a general rule, critical thinking involves developing some emotional and intellectual distance between yourself and ideas whether you’re own or others in order to better evaluate their truth, validity, and reasonableness. Critical thinking is an effort to develop reliable, rational evaluations about what is reasonable for us to believe and disbelieve.

Critical thinking does not guarantee that we will arrive at truth, but it does make it much more likely than any of the alternatives do.
Application Of Logic:
As we know logic is called the science of sciences because its help is required in every science. The aim of every science in its own sphere is to attain valid thought, and this aim can be achieved only by an application of the principles of logic. Hence every science depends on logic. The validity of the conclusions of every science ultimately rests on logical principles. Logic is
