Every
day
a
sea
of
decisions
stretches
before
us
Some
are
small
and
unimportant
But
others
have
a
larger
impact
on our lives
For
example
which
politician
should
I
vote for
?
Should
I
try
the
latest
diet craze
?
Or
will
email
make
me
a
millionaire
?
We're
bombarded
with
so
many
decisions
That
it's
impossible
to
make
a
perfect
choice
every
time
But
there
are
many
ways
to
improve
our
chances
And
one
particularly
effective
technique
is
critical thinking
This
is
a way of
approaching
a
question
That
allows
us
to
carefully
deconstruct
a
situation
Reveal
its
hidden
issues
such as
bias
and
manipulation
And
make the best decision
If
the
critical
part
sounds
negative
that's
because
in a way
it
is
Rather than
choosing
an
answer
because
it
feels
right
A
person
who
uses
critical thinking
Subjects
all
available
options
to
scrutiny
and
skepticism
Using
the
tools
at their disposal
They'll
eliminate
everything
but
the
most
useful
And
reliable
information
There
are
many
different
ways of approaching
critical thinking
But
here's
one
five-step
process
That
may
help
you
solve
any
number of
problems
One
formulate
your
question
In other words
know
what
you're
looking for
This
isn't
always
as
straightforward
as
it
sounds
For
example
if
you're
deciding
whether
to
try out
the
newest
diet craze
Your
reasons
for
doing
so
may
be
obscured
by
other
factors
Like
claims
that
you'll
see
results
in just two weeks
But
if
you
approach
the
situation
With
a
clear
view
of
what
you're
actually
trying to
accomplish
by
dieting
Whether
that's
weight
loss
Better
nutrition
Or
having
more
energy
That'll
equip
you
to
sift through
this
information
critically
Find
what
you're
looking for
And
decide
whether
the
new
fad
really
suits
your
needs
Two
gather
your
information
There's
lots of
it
out
there
So
having
a
clear
idea of
your
question
will
help
you
Determine
what's
relevant
If
you're
trying to
decide
on
a
diet
to
improve
your
nutrition
You
may ask
an
expert
for
their
advice
Or
seek
other
people's
testimonies
Information
gathering
helps
you
weigh different options
Moving
you
closer
to
a
decision
that
meets
your
goal
Three
apply
the
information
Something
you
do
by
asking
critical
questions
work'
ng
a
decision
ask
yourself
'What
concepts
are
at
work?'
'What
assumptions
exist?'
'Is
my
interpretation
of
the
information
logically
sound?'
For
example
in
an
email
that
promises
you
millions
You
should
consider
'What
is
shaping my approach
to
this
situation?'
truth'

the
sender
is
telling
the
truth?'
money'
d
on
the
evidence
is
it
logical
to
assume
I'll
win
any
money?'
Four
consider
the
implications
Imagine
it's
election
time
And
you've
selected
a
political
candidate
based on
their
promise
To
make
it
cheaper
for
drivers
to
fill up on
gas
At first glance
that
seems
great
But
what about
the
long-term
environmental
effects?
If
gasoline
use
is
less
restricted
by
cost
This
could
also
cause
a
huge
surge
in
air
pollution
An
unintended
consequence
that's
important
to
think about
Five
explore
other
points
of
view
Ask
yourself
why
so
many
people
are
drawn
To
the
policies
of
the
opposing
political
candidate
Even
if
you
disagree
with
everything
that
candidate
says
Exploring
the
full
spectrum
of
viewpoints
Might
explain
why
some
policies
that
don't
seem
valid
To
you
appeal
to
others
This
will
allow
you
to
explore
alternatives
Evaluate
your
own
choices
And
ultimately
help
you
make
more
informed
decisions
This
five-step
process
is
just
one
tool
And
it
certainly
won't
eradicate
difficult
decisions
from
our
lives
But
it
can
help
us
increase
the
number of
positive
choices
we
make
Critical thinking
can
give us
the
tools
To
sift through
a
sea
of
information
And
find
what
we're
looking for
And
if
enough
of
us
use
it
It
has
the
power
to
make
the
world
a
more
reasonable
place
