9A Thinking

Critical thinking is not only answering the basic question, but going deeper and thinking of other deeper questions to answer the basic one. It is not something that we are born with naturally, but something that must be learned. 

It is important to think critically because you not only have a greater understanding of what was asked, but you can learn more by going in depth by answering the multiple questions that were brought up through thinking critically. 

To think critically, you must not only think about the simple question. You must delve deeper into the question and raise questions that are similar to it or relate to it. After doing this, you must apply what deeper questions you thought of to the original question. 

I use critical thinking in my English, inquiry, sociology, and history courses this semester. It helps to think of deeper answers that are more correct and expand your horizons.
