>"Critical Thinking"

yes and?

>Buzzword
Anyway, if you want to be creative, watch more movies, read more books, listen to more genre of music, etc.
"Critical thinking" is fucking broad, it can range from mathematical problem solving to dealing with business problems.
People only used "critical thinking" as a bait to lure you to study their hollow courses with no real quality.
Be more specific and we can help you. If you want to be a bizfag then fuck off to /biz/.

Borrow 'Thinking Fast and Slow' from your local library for an introduction into critical thinking, no payments required.

What is critical thinking? Can I single hit KO my exam questions because my thought is critical? If so, what is the chance that a thought is critical?
I imagine that I'm around 6% when it comes to critical thought. I need to manually grind the rest of the questions.
Sorry for being noob.

Also, no one comes here to please your ass daramqueen.
If you can't bear people throwing shit at you for asking a stupid question that you can google yourself, then you should go to /lgbt/ so the other fags can comfort you.

But is the reason everyone gives me when I ask why they study philosophy.

>>7266664
So basically Philosophy is broad and hollow at the core?

>teach critical thinking
Critical thinking is what make you question everything in a positive way. It's your will to know more than you know.

You don't learn it: you want or you don't. You learn what comes after, which is the particular field in which your interest got caught.

Example?

Why are people responding to a troll thread?

Since we're on /sci/
>media spread the news of a new electromagnetic device that's capable of bending spacetime and defy the conservation of momentum
>without critical thinking you go around spreading this news thinking only how cool it is and that we'll be able to travel to galaxies far far away
>with critical thinking you question yourself about why such discovery has been announced in this way
>so you start going beyond what you read and start following the sources, then you read the publication, then if you don't know how physics work you read about conservation of momentum, about electromagnetism, and such, and then you understand how the memedrive is just another scientific hoax

>>7266868
Except that's not critical thinking, it's more like cynical thinking.

>>7266869
That's critical thinking, although not the best example.

>University teach it.
Whoever told you that is lying to, you can start by not believing that guy.

I fucking hate that word because liberal art shitters use it to justify their shit degree.

The only reason to hire them is because they acquired exclusive critical thinking skills in womans studies, where you couldn't get if you studied STEM
