Summary
To me, critical thinking can be summed up as thoroughly considered and analyzed. Understanding something is just as important as learning it. After seeing the two separate videos on critical thinking, I agree with both of them, however I lean more toward the Ted talk video because I agree that the way the educational system is set up, curiosity usually fades out quickly. In actuality, we are taught how to think; but, we are not taught how to think itself. Although I've never taken a critical thinking course before, I was always very aware of my own thinking as a child. I would ask myself "Why do I think this?" , "What is the bigger picture behind this and what do I feel about this?" among other things.
