CRITICAL THINKING
Question 1
Thinking is a mental process and ability to produce thoughts. However, critical thinking
refers to going beyond normal thinking unlike every day thinking where individuals think about
random things. In critical thinking, a person thinks deeper about specific problems or issues
before making a decision. Another difference is that every day thinking is an action that requires
an individual to think about a situation and the thought may be formed without evidence or facts
(McPeck, 2016). On the other hand, critical thinking requires an individual to put everything into
considerations such as assumptions before forming an opinion. Critical thinking requires
accuracy and logic while every day thinking in most cases happens in the form of faith or
personal opinion.
Question 2
Critical thinking is important since it provides an individual with the ability to solve
problems. People who think critically are likely to solve problems effectively. An individual who
thinks critically does not use guess in making decisions. This may contribute to the right
decisions. Critical thinking improves creativity. This is an essential skill in business, professional
alliance, and marketing. When people in businesses are creative with how they advertise or
market their products, they thrive in the competitive market. This is because they use cri9tical
thinking in coming up with business strategies that will assist them to outperform their
competitors.
