🔰 Critical VS Rational Thinking:
🔹️Critical thinking: A critically thinking person might read a news article and ask themselves questions such as: Who is the author? What are their credentials? What biases might they have? What evidence do they present to support their claims? Are there other perspectives on this issue?
🔸️Rational thinking: A rationally thinking person might read a news article and ask themselves questions such as: Are the author's arguments logically valid? Do they support their claims with evidence? Are there any logical fallacies in their reasoning?
Here are some tips for developing your critical thinking and rational thinking skills:
▪️Be open-minded and willing to consider different perspectives;
▪️Be skeptical of information and ask questions;
▪️Look for evidence to support claims;
▪️Be aware of your own biases and try to avoid them;
▪️Be willing to change your mind when presented with new information.
