Summary
Critical thinking allows people to understand difficult concepts in a manner that is clearer and more defined. It requires you to go beyond thinking a person will be able to make an appropriate decision. The purpose of critical thinking is to achieve understanding, evaluate viewpoints, and solve problems. According to Jesse Richardson, we need to teach children how to think and involve them in the process of their own learning. We should make them engage their own minds by questioning things and having an understanding not just knowledge. I agree with him because when you teach them how to think not to memorize stuff. Critical thinking is how we interpret the situation as he mentions how there are biases in all of us that can impact our critical thinking.
