Introduction

Every day we are bombarded with messages apparently telling us what to do, or not to do, what to believe or not to believe. Some messages we just ignore, some we unreflectively obey and some we unreflectively reject. Critical Thinking is just about becoming a better thinker in every aspect of your life. It is a process in screening all the information or messages received and deciding what to believe and what to do.

You'll gain the critical thinking skills to become a more effective problem solver, decision maker, and communicator. By learning how to expand your critical thinking skills, you'll be able to think strategically, see the big picture and consider all sides of an issue - everything you need to do to become a better problem solver and decision maker.
