What is critical thinking?
Critical thinking is considering all facts and information regarding a situation without using your own biases to determine an answer or solution.
Why is it important?
Critical thinking is important to remain open to new ideas-new solutions--new ways of doing things. If we do not ask questions and remain curious--we will remain stagnant.
A famous Critical Thinker and why is he a critical thinker?
A current day critical thinker is Elon Musk. According to some articles I have read about Mr. Musk, he shared that when he began research on SpaceX, he did not just look at other similar products that were already on the market. He started at the very beginning and determined what parts were needed for the rocket and what those costs would be. He did not base his decisions on what was already known. He asked questions from every angle and developed his own product.
