Critical thinking is the ability to think in an innovative way, to think with deeper meaning and with the ability to improve the way we think overtime. The first video defines it by stating that, critical thinking is an art of how we evaluate and analyze our thinking with the view of improving it. The speaker states that critical thinking is an art and it takes time and practice to perfect it or at least improve it. The ted talk video speaker talks about critical thinking as an art as well. He proceeds to talk about how students are taught so many things over the course of how many years but the one thing they aren’t taught is how to think. I agree with both because I believe critical thinking is like an art, its is something you have to take your time with to perfect, its not something that happens overnight. The ted talk speaker also said something about how critical thinking involves us having to ignore or try not to be bias or prejudice in the way we think, which is hard because we do this unconsciously but if we want to think critically, we have to avoid this which I agree with.

One thought on “Isai Conversation 1”
I agree with you; sometimes, it can be very hard to put personal judgments and biases to the side, especially when talking about things that are important to us. But as hard as it is, we need to put them aside because one of the most important parts of critical thinking is being open-minded.
